Spoonful of updates! #strikesugar and crossfit!

September 12, 2012

happy wednesday!

i hope you had a fabulous start to the week!

i just wanted to check in with my #strikesugar challenge! i mostly wanted to focus on eliminating sweets. i do really well with sodas and sugary drinks but i got into the bad habit of grabbing a box of hot tamales or some licorice at the grocery store ever so often. i also grabbed the occasional diet coke on days when i was up at 5 am! (i know diet coke will kill me someday, hence the #strikesugar challenge), so i am proud to say that i have been pretty good since we started! woot! i’ll be honest tho, i am so tempted by carson’s goodies! thankfully i stocked the fridge with fruit (cherries are my fav lately) so i can grab it when i am craving a treat! how is the strike going for you?!

but, let me tell you, those pumpkin spice kisses that are in the cupbourd are mighy tempting! have you tried them yet? if i wasn’t on the #sugarstrike i would buy you all a bag and send them to you! soooo good!

so i thought that pic was kinda cute!! he’s got it all right don’t you think? now, do you mind if i brag for a minute? i hope not because i am pretty proud of myself! crossfit has been so much fun lately and i am loving it more every time! i am proud to say i back squatted 150 lbs! that’s probably nothing compared to many of you but i was super excited! i bragged to carson and he even told me i was pretty legit!! i also loved yesterdays workout! it was in honor of september 11th and we completed a hero WOD that was pretty killer! lots of turkish get ups, kettle bell swings, and overhead squats! tough stuff! i think a 5K is in store today, which i am not super excited about, but its good training for tough mudder right?!

so tell me…

what is your proudest workout moment?

what treat is hard for you to avoid?!

xoxo

    So, I bought a big thing of powder stevia, and have been using that in my baking instead of sugar!! Now I definitely don’t feel as guilty when I eat a cookie (but no more than one per day!). I bake a lot, so avoiding those treats is a challenge, but I’m doing pretty well with it!! It’s harder when it’s something my Oma (grandma) makes, because those things are FULL of sugar and fat. But, she’s old, I won’t have her around much longer, so I figure that’s an acceptable exception to the #strikesugarchallenge.

    Also, Saturday morning I did two insanely intense hours of Zumba, and felt amazing after! That was great 🙂
