So I think I accidentally fasted for the first time ever? I haven't eaten anything since around 4pm yesterday, and its about 8:30 now and I'm about to have breakfast. I think I was feeling slightly guilty over the french fries I ate, and no one really had any plans for dinner, so it just kind of got overlooked. I've been sick though the past few days, and yesterday was the worst of it. So between the midnight hunger pangs and the weird head cold I have, I really didn't sleep well last night.
I'm proud though. My friend bought me some Trader Joe's cookies & cream cookie butter for Christmas, and right before bed I was really considering having some. It looked so good, and I was only going to have one bite. I had an interior battle with myself for a good hour before I just decided to forget the cookie butter and go to bed. Winning!
Also, I had my first real leg day on Saturday. I really miss focusing on certain areas during my workouts, and doing a lot of weight lifting. We worked on arms on New Years Eve which was nice too. I talked to my workout buddy recently, and while she likes Crossfit and doesn't plan on stopping anytime soon, she also misses focusing on strength training. I do too! I really enjoy Crossfit for a lot of reasons, but I do miss working on strength. Usually Crossfit incorporates a lot of full body, and doesn't focus on certain groups. So we're going to try to maybe do a few days a week going to the regular gym and doing some strength.
I also learned that my shoes aren't good for lifting, so now I have to go buy some new shoes! I didnt even really thing about why my back squats felt so weird until my friend pointed out that my form looked weird. I ended up just squatting barefoot in my socks, and it felt a lot better. I definitely don't like the thought of spending $100+ on a new pair of shoes, but the shoes I have now are really only meant for running, and its not like I ever run anyways!
Hope everyone had a wonderful and safe New Year!
