Was 31% Body fat, now I'm at 28%. Yay.
So I've gained 1.38#s in muscle and lost 3.54#s in fat.

My goal is 20%.

WOD + 2 meals
Seven Rounds for time:
Power Snatch, 7 Reps
Snatch Balance, 7 reps
Overhead Squat, 7 reps
I used the 15# bar, and I did only 5 rounds.
My time was 19:27
I liked this a lot. I think I've got better in my power snatch, and my overhead squat is a lot deeper. I'm finally "finding my heels" at the bottom, and the bar is well behind my head. Yay! Improvement.
And the cherry on top to this WOD was that Charles came to work out at Paradiso with me!!! He got to do this workout and he did it in 23:10, all 7 rounds with 45# bar.
He said it was great workout. He also sees the community love that is Paradiso Crossfit.
He says my absolutely obsession with Crossfit is fueled by the true addict in me. I said in our post-workout lunch, "I don't feel like I worked out fully unless I feel like death." Most drug addicts think they can't have a good time until they are obliterated high/doped up. Crossfit is my drug. Ha!
3 eggs with onions and mascarpone cheese
1 med. Cara Cara orange
10oz green tea
1 nicoise salad
10oz milk
Ice tea.
I'm boozin' it up later so I'm glad I'm able to strict Paleo for the first half of the day.

WOD/MOD
5 rounds for time:
500 meter Row
7 Thrusters (45#)
My time: 26:24
O-M-G!!!!!!!!! This workout for me was a major accomplishment. It was sooooo physically exhausting, and mentally draining. I can't tell you what I was thinking when I was actually doing the WOD... I wasn't thinking, I was just doing. The support and cheers from my fellow Crossfitters is what kept me going. Really. Just when you think you can't, they tell you you can. When you get to the point where don't believe in yourself, you think you can't do one more rep, they think believe you can.
I was the last to finish the WOD. We had gone over the hour and the on-rampers were waiting for me to finish so they could start their class. I was delirious. I kept a good, steady pace on the rower my last round. Really though, I don't know where the energy came from that kept me going. All the focus is on me now as I walk up to the bar to do my last 7 thrusters. I was dizzy, faint-like; I had no idea if I had it in me to do a full thruster.
But I did it. It felt like being pushed to the edge. After completing in a cacaphone of cheers, I collapsed on the floor and couldn't move or speak. My body felt like one big heart beat, it was throbbing and alive. I just sat there for 10 mins. I felt like laughing and crying at the same time. David called it "workout drunk." And he was right.
And that is my awesome WOD today.
February 8th will be my 4 month anniversary at Paradiso Crossfit. I can't wait for what's to come.

WOD "GI Jane"/MOD
100 Burpee Pull-ups
I used the rings instead of the bar with a full jump ensuring my chin got above the hands.
My time: 22:13
This WOD really kicked my ass. It didn't feel like 22 minutes. When you're delirious in the middle of the work out, your "time-space continuum" gets all jacked. LIke when I got to #40, I felt so awesome, like, "I can do this" but when I realized that I had 60 to go it feels sooooo overwhelming. Then when I go to 80, I could see the tunnel real close... But the last 20 were really tough. I felt a wall go up at #85. I did 5. Break. I did another 5. Break---- wasn't sure if I could do it. Then I had the whole gym shouting words of encouragement and support. My last five were powerful, and in good form.
I felt like death, but really really accomplished. Amazing. Amazing. Crossfit is a place to get over your "I can't"s.
16 oz. unsweetened ice tea
1 Spinach Feta wrap, egg whites
1/2 Napa Chicken Salad sandwich
1 banana
8oz raw milk
1.5oz Almonds
I totally know that I'm not eating enough just yet, I feel it in my workouts.

Used to dream of being a millionaire, without a care
But if I’m seeing my dreams you aren’t there
’cause it’s over
that just wont be fair

rather be a poor woman living on the street,
no food to eat,
cause i don't want no body if i have to cry.
cause it's over
when you said goodbye!
all at once...
i had it all
but
it doesn’t mean anything
now that you’re gone
from above seems i had it all
but it doesn’t mean anything
since you’re gone
now i see myself through different eyes,
it's no surprise!
being alone will make you realize
when it's over!
all in love is fair I shoulda been there, I shoulda been there, I shoulda shoulda.
all at once...
i had it all
but
it doesn’t mean anything
now that you’re gone
from above seems i had it all

What can I do that would save our love
Take these material things
They don’t mean nothing

How I feel right now...
Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart by Alicia Keys
Even if you were a million miles away
I could still feel you in my bed
Near me, touch me, feel me
And even at the bottom of the sea
I could still hear inside my head
Tellin' me, touch me, feel me
And all the time you were tellin' me lies
So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times we had tonight
I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart?
Well, you could try sleeping in my bed
Lonely, own me nobody ever shut it down like you
You wore the crown
You made my body feel heaven bound
Why don't you hold me
Near me, I thought you told me
You'd never leave me
Looking in the sky I could see your face
And I know right where I fit in
Take me, make me, you know that I'll always be in love
With you
Right til the end OOh
So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times we had tonight
I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Anybody could've told you right from the start
It's about to fall apart
So rather than hold on to a broken dream
Or just hold on to love
And I could find a way to make it
Don't hold on too tight
I'll make it without you tonight
So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times we had tonight
I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Even if you were a million miles away
I could still feel you in my bed

Am I just a number?
Every morning I have a nasty habit of weighing myself. Consistently I would hover between 115 to 117.5 pounds.
Today I clocked in at 113.7 pounds.
I know that the number shouldn't matter, but how I feel. Muscle weighs more than fat. There is strong possibility that I may not ever see a lower number but may fit better in my clothes, loose the roll on my back and my saddlebags...
I don't want to quantify my health by a number....

MOD
I've decided to do a corresponding daily MOD (Meal Of the Day). After receiving an email from BodySpex, an online body metrics tracking system that I used when I was being trained by Micah in 2008, I decided to log onto the site. It still had my stats from my last weigh in June 2008.
[I just tried to log in right now and the site is down...Hmmm)
Anyway, my weight 1.5 years ago was 111.6 pounds and my body fat percentage was 26%.
Today I hover at about 115-117 pounds and my body fat percentage is 30.5%.
I couldn't deny it anymore. I remembered a few months ago when I was soooo upset that i couldn't fit in my slacks, that I had to buy a whole size up. I didn't think it was because I had gained weight,I just thought that my shape was changing with age. I also denied hearing my Nanay say "you've put on weight" when I sent her pictures of Charles and I in March.
Denial, Denial, Denial.
Now that I see an actual record of my weight it's staring me straight in the face that if I keep doing what I've been doing then I'm going to continue to gain weight.
So I'm going to apply the Paleo "Caveman" way of eating into my habits. Not as a fad diet or a quick fix just to revert back to my old habits, but as an entire lifestyle, life plan. There are guideline that will be followed but I'm not going to punish or criticize myself if I don't follow it to a T.
I've tried all the quickie crash diets... calorie restriction, no carbs, No meat, no fruit, just liquid... you name it I did. I bitched and moaned each time I tried on a new diet, feeling horrible, desperate--- beating myself up internal. When I didn't get the results I wanted I'd say, Fuck it, I like myself the way I am and not change a thing.
And that's how I got to today.
Today's MOD-
1tbs. Fish Oil
1 small apple
1 small Ice Tea, unsweetened
1 cup mixed fruit- cantaloupe, honeydew, blueberries, pineapple
1 bottle water
4oz Seared tuna over wakame seaweed salad with citrus-soy dressing
8oz lean pork loin chops
Half roasted small acorn squash
Water, water, water!
And so a new lifestyle begins.

WOD
3 rounds for time of:
24 Pull ups (I used bands to assist)
24 Dips (on bench)
75 squats
My time: 25:36
My quads and ass have a nice, subtle burn to them as I type this. I'm sure my entire shoulder area will be acting up tomorrow. I'm soooo glad I finished.
Think you can beat my time?
