Lets take a snow day...

So after I decided to take a snow say, it actually ended up being a mental health day. After a VERY sad day (for reasons not needed to be talked about) but it was a very emotional day. Someone told me the following that I'm about to share with you and I think it is very true.

"Kerry - you're making dramatic changes to yourself right now. You are facing and taking control over what you put in your body and how you move through the world. Is it any wonder your emotions are also coming under scrutiny? Putting old wounds in the past is as much a part of the process as putting old eating habits or poor exercise habits in the past. Feel the pain and rejoice in it just like you now appreciate a good muscle burn."

I believe that the "something" that has been bothering me and other emotions have come to the surface, has do to the change of my diet. Almost just as I realized this the show The Dr's came on and they were talking about what you show be eating at what age and then it ran into talking about eating more fruits, veggies, seeds and fish/meats, sounds familiar I thought to myself. They went on to say that eating to much processed foods and sugar and fat leads to depression (HA! I thought, than why am I so sad and feeling things that I haven't felt in a long time? Things coming to the surface) by 58%, shouldn't I be happy as a clam then no matter what happens? I cannot explain that part. I'm just not crying tears of happiness like I should be. Am I the only one feeling like this?

I am however happy that I can do 10 pull-ups in a row with the green assistance band now. I've been practicing after class, and I'd like to be able to do a un-assistanced pull-up in a few months, maybe by summer. Class was ok too but I have SO much to get better at, BUT on another note I've come SO far. Before I started Crossfit I was working on trying to straighten my right arm, lift the milk carton into the refrigerator (with my right arm), swimming, getting comfortable on my bike, I could not carry heave things, do a push-up, lift a bar over my head, I couldn't even do pass through's correctly all because I shattered my elbow on a training ride in 2007 (2007 was NOT a good year!!!), which caused other problems with my already repaired shoulder. Now I'm doing pass through's, lifting bars over my head, doing push ups (on my toes push ups) and now...doing pull-ups with assistance. I'm a lucky girl in so many other way's! I've had to over come a lot of stuff in life, whats a few more things? Believe me, that is easier said than done, UGH! The story of my freaking life, LOL!

Tonight's dinner: Steak, onions, peppers, mushrooms (I have to work on cooking steak, ick!), and baked brusle sprouts. I also chose to have some red wine, it's good for the heart (HA, coincidence? I'll let you be the judge, LOL). Tonights WOD was good, but with no added weight:
