Andy told me about how he really focuses on one particular challenge during a wod and I thought it was pretty cool. Today I tried to really focus on not stopping at any point since this was all movments that I shouldn't have a problem with and taking breaks is still a huge problem for me. I slowed my running, but didn't stop running. I put the weights down to correct my stance and grip- not to relax. It ended up working really well.

Today's meals were kind of wonky since I had to have blood work done in the morning and I had the wod at night.
Meal 1:
8oz turbot
almonds

Meal 2:
8 oz ground beef
guacamole
broccoli
cauliflower

Meal 3:
Smoothie with strawberries, blueberries, whey protein and almond milk. A handful of macadamias. I really really wanted ice cream. This probably wasn't the best in terms of diet, but it's a better option than ice cream and I was able to stay within my restrictions.

10.20.09

WOD:
Strength: 3x3 dips with assistance
Metcon: 42 snatches and 40 thrusters at the 17minute mark- holy crap, my back is sore.

Meals for this day were a nightmare. Things have been hectic lately and I've been a bit of a hot mess. So there wasn't recording and there was cheese and skittles involved. I'm trying not to make it a habit or an excuse, but sometimes it just gets overwhelming and I need to take a step back. Or five steps.

I feel like my energy is zapped this week. It's a struggle to get out of bed no matter how much sleep I get. When I get home I have absolutely no energy to cook dinner or do dishes. I did a lot more over the weekend than I usually do, and it's getting darker earlier, so that might be it since I'm fine once I get to work. Will b going to the doctor on Friday morning, hopefully she'll have some answers.

Still trying to keep positive. I want to make an appointment with a doctor to have my thyroid tested, but I'm really anxious about it. In my experience, doctors just ignore what I say after seeing my weight and go on about what they think (generally stop weight training and go for low impact aerobics), then act surprised when all my test results show I'm actually leading a healthy lifestyle and then just dismiss the whole thing, leaving me at square one and down 2 copayments and out of office time.

I'm trying to fit more food in, but I'm really and truly not hungry eating like this. There are cravings every so often for a bagel or something, but not real actual hunger. I don't mean to be rude about people who try to answer the question that I ask, but it's kind of annoying when people are telling me I'm in survival mode and I'm starving myself and I feel like I'm doing a little bit better than surviving. I thought it was under 1200 calories when that starts happening.

If I were to eat more, though, where would I add? Fat, carbs, or protein?
