what I was doing this weekend

I made some Paleo chocolates :)
yup. they're skulls.
I used cocoa, coconut oil, coconut and vanilla.. easy and yummy!

I got my greenman tatt finished. doesn't he look awesome?
it's on the inside of my upper arm..


Friday.. I decided to try a crossfit workout.
wheweeey!
it rocked,  but I am a sore mama still!
I did three sets of each exercise.. I didn't count, I just did as many as I could each time..maybe that was my mistake..
I did box jumps (you squat then jump up on a "box" which I used something the gym had, squats with dumbbells, some wall balls (you throw a medicine ball over your head at the wall then squat when you catch it) some dead lifts, tons of crunches, sit ups with medicine ball throws, bicycle crunches..
whew! I made it through all that.. then managed to run four miles.. I thought I was going to fall off the treadmill lol
so.. I soaked my legs in super hot water with epsom salt.. helped a lil.. not much.. so I rode the bike for 40 minutes to try to loosen up my aching muscles.. then ellipticalled a lil..
still sooooo sore! you should see me trying to get in and out of my car! ha!
but I am not going to give up. nope. I will just work upper body until I can stand to move my lower body voluntarily lol


oh yeah! I forgot.. I made some "snack mix"
coconut, almonds, flax seeds, squash seeds, cocoa and coconut oil. mmmm

not a gain!

squeee!!
for once.. I didn't lose and then gain the next week..

I stayed pretty much the same.. maybe a fourth of a pound down...

but NOT a gain!!

woot woot!

I wasn't expecting much this week since I've been so super busy with dance recitals and such.. I have't exercised as much as usual. like twice lol

but I am happy with staying pretty much the same.

so happy!

I've stocked up on more "paleo" friendly foods so this week will be great!

I've also found a "friend" locally that is doing the same thing..
she rocks!

she's a coworkers wife and soo awesome! Were friends on facebook! tee-hee

she loves Crossfit.. so I think I am going to start that..
I might go to the local crossfit gym for a few visits to get the hang of it..

I did wake up without the "hangover" this morning. I have the groggy, sleep aid induced feeling like I slept two hours in fifty years feeling, every morning! not today..
well... certainly not as bad as usual.

And the more I think about it.. I wasn't bloated yesterday..
I am almost always bloated and "full" feeling.. ugh!

hmm..
I think I may have discovered what I needed!!
