What's your Goal??

I'll admit to showing off a few of my new work out skills this weekend and I enjoyed basking in the love of people telling me how proud they are of me, or how they can tell I lost weight.  I'm down almost 20 pounds.  I've lost several inches.  I have lowered my cholesterol by almost half.  Things are definitely looking up for me. But, I was asked a question that took me a little off guard although I feel like I answered it pretty well.

"SO...WHAT IS YOUR WEIGHT LOSS GOAL??"

Now, it's good to have goals... They keep you motivated and moving forward, and I do have a few.  But in particular the person asking wanted to know how many POUNDS I was trying to lose.  And to be honest, I do have a number in my head but it's certainly not my number one goal. 

My goal is to stop taking all these pills a day!  My short term goal is just to stop taking one of them!!  Just one even, I'm happy with baby steps!  This isn't even all of them, this is just what I HAVE to take in order to function daily.  To accomplish this I may have to find a new doctor since my current one seems to only know how to add pills and not remove any, but even so she was pretty impressed with my numbers.

My most recent labs came back great.  A lot has changed in the little over 2 months that I have been exercising and eating better. I still have a long way to go, a really long way.  And I may still have to take some of these pills for the rest of  my life, but that's just not something I am thinking about right now... 

Progress is all that matters to me right now, moving forward and not looking back!!!

Wanna know what a Burpees is??  We did 90 of these in class last week. Yeah, I wanted to die. 

Our WOD (Workout of the Day) looked like this:
Warm-up, then 3 rounds of:

30 Burpees
30 SwitchBack Lunges
30 Walk Outs
30 Push-Ups (Hand Release)

Then some sit-ups and planks and some running..  And then I passed out on the floor and died so I don't really remember the rest..  Kidding, only kidding.  But seriously, the floor at my CrossFit gym is SO gross.. Like you could get an STD gross, but by the end of the workout I am laying on the floor petting it and telling it how beautiful it is, and hey, can I buy you a drink??  That's how bad it is..

Care to join me???
