My Inner Hellion

I've done the math. Last year at this time (after being on meds that beefed me up rather plumply) I topped out around 185. I don't think I weighed quite that much even when I was pregnant. I came off them the end of December and in the spring after none of the weight came back off, I started taking Ultra 90 to help it because I hate exercise and I wanted an easy fix. I lost about 10 pounds with that over three months. Oh...I did walk a bit while I was taking that too.

So that put me at 175.

In mid-August I started Crossfit. As of this morning I was at 147. That means I've lost 28 pounds since starting Crossfit 4 months ago, which comes to 7 pounds a month. You'd think I'd have gone down several clothing sizes after that much weight loss. But only a little. Before I started I was in a 14 and pushing dangerously close to a 16. Now I'm down to a 10 and those are getting a little big on me. I figure in a month or so I might be down to an 8. Been a LONG time since that happened.

I have never been competitive or athletic. AT ALL. I suck at sports and I could care less if someone beat me at a game of any kind really. Although I did take great pride in knowing that I blew everyone away in sales when I sold Pampered Chef. I was a legend for a while. ;)

But NOW???? Damn...
Now...whatever beast has been dormant in me has been set free. (Ergo...."Tyler Durden")

However...I DO wish I could be as wired in the mornings for work outs as I get throughout the day. My vote is that we install a ginormous big screen in the gym so that I can watch movies that pump my blood like 300 or Fight Club. Even Batman (the newest one). These movies are like porn for me! These would get me going for a workout!
