I am Crossfit

On January 3rd Crossfit starts their I Am Crossfit program. It is an eight week, full on blitzkrieg of goal achieving. I have set some lofty ones for myself and feel pretty confident that I can achieve them with the right discipline. Bye bye Mexican food, see you in March. I'm heading to the Peddler this week to find an amazing bike, put that shit on layaway and that will be my reward to myself.

Withdrawing from sugar is the worst. Five days is typically what it takes for me to quit itching for it. Not just confections, but bread, alcohol, basically anything that gets converted to straight sugar in the body. After quitting smoking almost two years ago (sweet!) I'm much more aware of the body cravings. They are such a pain in the ass.

My goals for the next eight weeks are:
lean, lean, lean!
strict zone meals only
airtight food journal
WOD's 6 days a week
unassisted pull up
box jumps galore
20 straight burpees
50 squats unbroken

I want to do a 200lb dead lift, 75lb shoulder press, 90lb thruster by April!!!

Whew.

Happy Birthday Helen Slater!

Super Girl was a favorite in my childhood movie collection. Between her, Sheena Queen of the Jungle, Kira the gelfling, She-Ra Princess of Power, and the bene gesserit witches from Dune, I had all my pop culture bad ass female role models solid by the age of six. Thanks ladies.

What do little girls have these days? Hannah Montana? Bratz dolls? Yuk.

Edit: Ok after more glances at my Helen Slater pic, I'm becoming more and more amused with the signage surrounding her. I wonder how much of that was intentional....probably all of it. Drive through, love that chicken. Oh boy.
