This is a VERY short update mostly pictures. Life’s getting complicated and well I don’t want to talk about it so you get pretty pictures and not a lot to read. I’ve described what the photos are in each photo. I’m not entering my fifth month of CrossFit and I’m still enjoying it and the challenges that it brings. Over the last week and a half I’ve almost walked a marathon distance (as in I went out specifically to walk, so not counting just walking to and from places). I’m going to try to stick with that sort of walking every week to support what I’m doing at CrossFit. In addition I finally splurged and bought the Map My Fitness App (it was on sale for $0.99) so hopefully that’ll keep me going. I’m not sure there was much benefit to it as they still have an ‘MVP feature’ you have to pay for a subscription for and I’m not doing that.
Went on this walk or a similar one in length and course four days last week. I’m going to try and create a 3 mile walk so I can do that one in the morning before work on my non-CF days.
My faithful New Balance minimus. I didn’t think I would like them, but I’ve finally gotten used to them and they’ve carried me through the 23+ miles I’ve walked over the past week and a half (+ CF one day so far).
I thought this was a bad day, but the days got worse! I’ve always been sweaty, but I’m redefining what it means to be a sweaty mess two-to-three days a week.
Don’t be too impressed it’s only 125lbs. We were doing the Clean and Jerk and I had a few moments to quick snap a picture.
On top of the exercising I’ve been relatively good about eating healthier and have stuck with salads for at least one meal a day four days a week! Which if you know me know that’s something shocking. I still don’t think they’re the best things ever, but I’m getting used to them and I’ve spaced out my other food throughout the day so I’m not hungry all the time anymore.
Cherry halves, I pitted and halved myself for salads.
The resulting salad: cherries, marinated steak, mixed greens and feta. Delicious.
Hopefully I’ll start to see different types of improvement with all this green stuff I’m eating 🙂 (Although, honestly, it’s not about the weight or inches lost. For me it’s about getting healthier and reaching my own personal goals.)

When I read Doing Good Better, I was looking for this. That isn’t a knock on Doing Good Better, it’s a kudos to Simple Giving and Jennifer Iacovelli. And I guess that’s an even bigger kudos to Tarcher/Penguin (publisher’s site) for sending me a copy because I would never have found sought it out, even though philanthropy is what I do for a living.* Simple Giving comes out next week October 27, and I can’t recommend it enough.
