First Competition

I've signed up for my first competition set for April 22nd. I'm feeling confident in my abilities but I'm sure come the day I'll be nervous. So the battle remains to be against my nerves. I'm also hoping to get my first pair of rebook shoes next weekend to really embrace everything crossfit.

I'll be competing in the, you guessed it, Novice division. My only movement concerns are the knees to chest, as my upper body strength defiantly needs work.

I've also been working on controlling my diet which is by far much easier said then done. This whole week I was able to bring my meal prepped lunch of Kale salad, turkey and asparagus. I also succeeding in intermittent fasting. 16 hours fasting and 8 hours of eating. I start my fast at 7 and end at 11am. At 11 I eat a banana and  low sugar 20g protein bar, then do a work out then eat my lunch. I have to say this whole week I haven't once had that midday crash that normally comes after lunch which is a HUGE thing for me. While my over all goal is to be the fittest I can possibly be my current, short term goal, is to lose belly fat and become over all lighter. Anything to help with those pull ups right? And you hear it all the time, abs are built in the kitchen. So I'm trying, poorly but it's a work in process.

I hope you enjoy my journey towards becoming as fit as possible or maybe even join me!
