Day 41 - Weight 296.8 lbs. - Building to Monday, pt. II

I get sick of hearing how my aches are best managed by moving around, not laying around. Can't argue with reality, though, not if you expect to get what you're going for. And boy, am I getting what I came for with this CrossFit thing. I snatched a 53 lb. kettlebell today--right only, my left couldn't hang--just to see if I could. It isn't a working weight yet but it's real. That's a small taste of what happens to me there.

I don't think I'll see 300 ever again. For real. My mother-in-law is visiting us and we thought about taking her out to Avicolli's tonight, but decided against it. I'd love a spaghetti dinner and it certainly wouldn't kill me. On the other hand, if I eat like that for even one night, I may hold water from all the carbs. If that happens I may see 300 and I'd rather not, thanks. In two weeks the challenge will be over and meals like that'll take on a different, better meaning with no honest downside. Until then, I'm holding on tight. I want God's best so I'm giving Him mine.

My eating's all out of whack from the paleo lunch today with my CrossFit people. It wasn't easy to block that out, but the food was "approved" so that matters little. I took the same attitude this evening.

Menu:
Breakfast (4 blocks)

- 1 cup strawberries, 1 cup broccoli, 1/2 cup blackberries, 1 tsp. olive oil

- 1/2 cup greek yogurt, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 10g chopped nuts

- Paleo food at the luncheon, blocks are a guess! I thought I was low on fat so I ate 2 Tara chocolates and a few nuts to make sure I was covered.
