Day 2: So Much Water

One important rule of the challenge is drinking half your weight in water.  I now weigh myself every morning to figure out how much I have to drink.  This morning I weighed in at 156, requiring me to drink 78oz of water.  Say hello to my new best friend:

It's ok, I heart Nalgene Bottles

Day 1: So Much Food

Today started our (my husband is doing this also) first day with our portioned out food. 

Starting my day out with 3 eggs (3 Blocks of Protein) 1 Cup of Blueberries (2 Blocks of Carbs), 1 Cups of Strawberries (1 Block of Carbs) and 9 Cashews (3 Blocks of Fat) is insane.  I think it took me an hour to polish off that meal alone. 

Lunch was even harder with 6 Cups of Lettuce, 3 oz of Tuna, and entire Tomato, 2/3 Cups of Red Onion and 1/4 of an Avacado.  I thought I was going to be starving on this diet, and it is the complete oppisite. 

Seriously?

After work I went to the 5pm Crossfit class.

Work out of the Day (WOD): 

500 Meter Row x 3 w/ 2 Minute Rest

21-18-15-12-9-6-3 - OverHead Squat (25 lb Bar)

3-6-9-12-15-18-21 - RING DIPS

 

 

I earned 19 out of 20 points today!  Good Start. 

Best Shape of My Life Challenge

I can't wait to see myself in 8 weeks, I have taken Crossfit's "Best Shape of My Life Challenge" and I couldn't be more excited. 


Prep:  Sunday night (6/12) my husband and I spent about an hour planning out a week's worth of meals and snacks and then off to the grocery store we went:

Can you tell I lined them up by color?

followed by an hours worth of chopping, measuring, and bagging.  Finally we are good to start. 


I decided that I am going to use the Paleo/zone meals (which will earn me the most points per meal).  Paleo meals are meals that basically a caveman would eat.  Lean meats, nuts, and berries.  Easy enough?  Zone meals are meals portioned out in blocks.  I deemed myself a "Medium Female" for the Zone.  I am required to have Breakfast, Lunch, 2 Snacks, and a Dinner per day.  Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner have 3 blocks of Protein, Carbs, and Fat and each snack has 1 block of Protein, Carbs, and Fat. 

Being the dork that I am, I created an excel spread sheet to keep track of my points.  The guidelines are pretty simple:

Wish me luck!!
