Day One

Happy New Year!!!  Here I am on the first day of 2013 and I have decided to join the group at P2 Crossfit gym in the Whole 30 challenge.  There are many reasons why I made the decision to join this challenge some may be a surprise.

Truth be told I do not think I can cut sugar, dairy, and god forbid wine out of my daily diet for 30 days.  How would I get through 30 days without cheating.  (Still not convinced that I can actually do this without my family kicking me out of the house). 😉

I also have struggled with my weight my whole life, I have taught myself that pounds on a scale don't mean anything as long as your clothes are still fitting you the number on the scale means nothing.  I don't weigh myself so getting on the scale was terrifying to me, I just did not want too see that number (I know all the women out there agree and understand)!

In October I was very vocal about the challenge and how difficult it would be for me because I have three kids, a stressful job, and not enough time to stick to the program.  Then I thought the title of the program is whole 30 CHALLENGE.  It's a challenge it is supposed to be difficult it's not going to be easy that is the point.

So here I am day one of the challenge (started with a hangover so the alcohol part was cake today.😊. I made it in for the baseline workout:

10 minutes to 1RM back squat
Rest 2 minutes
Diane
21-15-9
Dead lifts 155
HSPU
Rest 1 minute
Row 2k

I don't know how I got through it and I did not PR any of it but it is my baseline for this challenge.

1 RM dead lift 185
Diane 4:03
Row 2k 9:12

I also did my measurements (yes I got on the scale)

Weight 164
Hips 41 1/2
Waist 32 1/2
Height 63 inches (I think I am already shrinking)

Why am I posting this much detail?  It makes me accountable to this challenge and I will post my ending results to see how I do.

I have my plan for eating the week and I went shopping today so I feel like I am ready to begin one of the most difficult challenges of my life.

Day one down, let's see how tomorrow goes.  One day at a time.
