Feeling good. Making good choices

I went to Crossfit today and I was able to do all my pushups on my toes! The boy way [insert Tim the Tool Man Taylor laugh from Home Improvement]. I also stuck out with my running and didnt have to stop mid-jog like I had to during bootcamp last week. I did all my squats and I got to use a kettleball. I mean, I'm on fire.

Then I went to Hot Yoga at Atlanta Hot Yoga. I love that place. Its such a great studio. They have a very good rate as far as yoga studios go. And the heat really does "something" to my body. My muscles dont feel sore and I attribute it to the hot yoga. My face always looks clearer afterwards. Yay!

I've also started eating better. And I attribute a lot of that to keeping a food journal and recording my calories. Now I think, "Ugh, I cant write that down in my food journal" & that helps me not eat something that I probably shouldnt. PLUS, with the Bootcamp I'm taking (with BTB Bootcamp/BTB Fitness), the trainers look at what I eat every day and either checkmark it or draw a big X through what I ate. Like a double dose of accountability. Once when I write it down and once when the trainers are reading it. Jeez, I feel like a little kid waiting for them to read what I ate and make comments on it.

Also, I'm starting to see the benefits of eating small snacks in between my meals. I'm not as hungry throughout the day and my regular meals seem bigger. Tonight I had a sandwich and cottage cheese with tomato juice (I know, thats an 'ew' combination even for a healthy meal), and I actually was pretty stuffed! That NEVER would have happened in the past. Usually I'd make another sandwich or something.

If I do good enough this month, I'll sign up for 2 more months of bootcamp with BTB Fitness for sure. Combine that with hot yoga about 3 times a week, put a fork in me and I'm done.
