Back to Basic Numbers

Five weeks of living with a hip injury, I stepped inside the box today and then stepped on the scale. 117.5 pounds. Before my hip injury, the scale screamed 122.5. Seven months ago, I left my very active lifestyle in Boston weighing 112 pounds. Muscle gain and muscle loss is a big contributor to my weight flux, but so is my DIET. As Kyle Risdal says, "lets do the numbers."

CrossFit CDR is launching another 24 day challenge. That means eating Palleo or Zone. I will have to chain up the food monster that lives inside me and teach it to eat mindfully and breath through those chocolate cravings. Eating Palleo or Zone will keep my blood sugars and body weight stable. Let the challenge begin!

CrossFit totals this week. That means your highest weight on all your skills adds up to your CrossFti totals. I am just starting out, again. And I expect it to be a long recovery since my hip is still recovering and strengthening.
