Monday...

Someone once told me that Monday is National Diet Day...

I thought really, I don't remember hearing that? And then they went on to say...

Yeah, EVERY Monday is National Diet Day...

The person was highlighting the fact that we all put things off until the perfect time.
Like to start something on a Monday will make you more successful??

I think not.

The point is to start... start at lunch today, start at dinner... start by not going for the extra snack after dinner tonight...

JUST START!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Here are a few resources and guidelines that we use and work for us. Maybe some sound extreme to you... ease into it... see how you feel.

Our guideline
Eat clean meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar and... and in our house little to no dairy

Body Move'n...

So... today's WOD

3 rounds for time of:
6 Muscle-ups
30 Wallball shots (Men 20 lb ball, Women 14 lb ball)
12 Handstand push-ups
15 Power cleans (Men 135 lbs, Women 85 lbs)


Natalie's Modifications...

Muscle Up: 6 pull ups and 6 Ring dips with skinny purple band
HSPU: did Pump ups
Power Cleans: 65#
Wall Ball: was 10# or 12#?
Time: 28:07


Highlight of the workout for me....

I DID 6 REAL UNASSISTED PULL UPS IN A ROW!!!!!!!!

WAHOOOOOOO!!!


This is a big deal to me!!!!! I could actually see the bar below or at my chin!!!

It has taken me over a year but I can now do it!!! I am stringing them together and getting it done.


My goal for the year is to get stronger and to continue my clean eating. I want to do things at the RX'd (prescribed) weight by the end of the year...


Easy Day Peeps!
