Mother's Market has great food!

Sat. May 1 has special meaning for many reasons. 1) After w/o with a friend from work and her sister we had a 'banging' breakfast at Mother's Market! It was so yummy yet so healthy. We split a fruit and cottage cheese dish that was huge and had at least 15 different fruits in it, and nuts. And a really great brown rice, black bean, egg, avacado, a little cheese and salsa and some other goodies I can't name. There was so much food we didn't finish it all! Almost... I tried! LOL

Friend Brigite and sis Heidi enjoyed the w/out and especially the friendly atmosphere. Imagine a coach who actually talks to you! Apparently they have had different experiences other places. I love working out at my box. I hope they join. Also May 1st is the day I started box stepping on a larger box!. That's huge to a CrossFitter like me.

Got some more food advice from Andrew and Mike. I really must see Leeann this week to get a food guidance plan. I have no idea what my weight is now, but my size 16 slacks slide over my hips without unbuttoning them. I'm down about 2 1/2 sizes. The other day I think I saw my hip bones. What a great sight! LOL.

Other benefits come in small sized increments. For example, during at deadline crisis at work on Friday, I yelled at the attorney I work for instead of brutalizing him! That's progress!

Do you think a person can actually feel their metabolism increase? I wonder. When I'm at rest or sitting doing desk work I think I can feel my heart beating stronger and steadier?

The Sat. w/o was another good one. Three rounds of 30-20-10 box jumps then Kettlebell (KB) American throws. Of course, again after the stretching and warmup I thought we were done and I started my additional 20 situps...Lamarr caught me AGAIN and told me to save it for the workout! I really need to pay more attention. I'm having such a good time I just plough on!

Lauren it on the East Decatur team for the Regionals in two weeks. NLP has team competing here at UCI. It would be so great if both teams made it to the finals! I'd definitely want to see that CrossFit event. I'll be in N. California in two weeks or I'd be at the UCI X-F games. Good luck to my team and Lauren's East Decatur team.

When I started X-Fit at the end of Jan. my primary goal was to be fit enough to participate safely in the PSI personal development seminar in mid-May! I'm ready and still have 7 more w/o's left before I leave. Time to set a new goal! More on that later this week.

Good night...L-m.
