I'm totally into eating clean too -- cutting out the processed food in a box,

artificial colors & flavorings hasn't been hard at all.  I add a few things to

my paleo (pastured dairy products) and my body feels better (sleep wise, little

aches & pains are gone, clearer sinuses, etc.) for it.  I know I do too much

sugar so like you, that's my challenge this month & next month as our gym is

doing the 60 day challenge -- figure that should be enough to get me up & over

my sugar cravings!

love 'dating' cindy!!  I " m still working on my pullups as well -- I'm pretty

close tho, which feels really good!  the other thing that helps your pullups

are deadlifts (think about it, same process as lifting heavy weight to you,

lifting yourself up to the bar).  I'm actually #2 in our gym for heaviest

deadlifts & #2 for heaviest press on the female side -- so I know both of those

are helping me get so close!  I've started practicing the 'kip' to see if maybe

that would be a faster way to get there!

I'm not sure that I will ever like the burpee (but I use to say that about wall

ball and I actually do like that now!).  We call the squat hold the 'paleo

chair' - lot easier to look at than to do!!

You are doing great!  How often do you go?

I'm still not 100% sold on paleo.. but I really am on eating clean.. so

it's only a few degrees off, right? I'm down with that! Watching Fathead

reinforced moderation, too.. And I have been listening to/hearing that

one of the biggest reasons people are gaining so much weight is from the

calories we drink! That isn't very true for me.. but all it means is

that I would be heavier if I did do that. I feel happy that I choose to

not eat fries and drinks with calories when I eat out (or in)..

Moderation..

I did a few weeks ago! I whined that since I'm so new to this I

should be allowed to date before just going right ahead and doing

her. I do jumping pullups though. Can you do a pull up?

I don't mind having my husband take my photo and my measurements at all..

I know how much I weigh.. but letting someone who is a man who is shorter

than I am therefore likely weighs less who has never had a weight problem?

I have an issue with that. I shouldn't have to get over it simply

because someone else wants me to.

My challenge for November is no sugar. I do drink chocolate milk and

sometimes eat yogurt that isn't plain. I don't eat artificially sweetened

yogurt.. so I would rather eat it with sugar than fake stuff.

My workout last night was:

400 meter run with burpies every 15 seconds (longest 400 meter run EVAH!)

Some thrusters and air squats

400 meter run

then for time:

400 meter run

40 burpies

400 meter run

30 burpies

400 meter run

20 burpies

400 meter run

10 burpies

then we rested then:

squats for 20 seconds

" rest for 10 seconds " by holding squat at the bottom

x 8 for a total of 4 minutes

OY!!!
