THE NIGHT BEFORE!

 
Hi, my name is Heather!  I decided to start this blog to track my Fitness journey using Crossfit and standard weightlifting.  I'm over 40 in OK shape and wanting to get stronger and leaner; I'm definitely "mushy"  in all the wrong places.  I will share my Body weight, work outs and diet as I pursue a fitter me.

  • Each Week I will post My Weight and possibly measurements along with a photograph.
  • I will post my WOD/Work-Out and my diet each day along with how I'm feeling

I look forward to starting my journey and I'm curious as to how I'll eat and work-out on vacation in less than two weeks!  Thank goodness I'll have my little sister Laney with me; she's going to Airborne school in a few weeks so she must work out while we're in the Keys!




I have a weird obsession with Ice Cream so tonight "WE SHALL EAT ICE CREAM"  It's guaranteed to put a few extra pounds on me overnight...oh well!  I've eaten all the crappy processed foods I typically enjoy so I hope it's out of my mind after tomorrow...yeah right!  All I can do is try to be good and clean on my diet, it's the hardest thing for me!  Working out is the easy part!

Well, I will see you all tomorrow morning for my weigh in and the beginning of my "Fitness Journey"

Good Night-
Heather
