Rough week

Ok so I have been lacking in posts this week and a half, but it's been a rough one. I can't remember what exactly I've eaten in the last week, but I know it wasn't terrible. I was only able to workout a few times, but I did pretty well when I did. So since I can't recall all of the details I'm just going to start fresh this week.

Nick and I have decided to give up most sweets for lent. This includes candy, ice cream, and pastries. I have done well so far, even though McDonalds just came back with the shamrock shake and I really like those, I have been able to resist my temptations. I even turned down getting ice cream with our friends the other day!

On Saturday we worked out at Crossfit and did the crossfit games workout 12.1! If you want to know more about the games you can check out this Link. The 12.1 workout was to compleate as many reps as possible in 7 minutes of Burpees ( touching an object 6 in. out of max reach in the jump each time) I was expecting to get maybe 40 or 50 reps at the most, but I ended up getting 70 reps which is a pretty respectable score for someone like me. Here are the other scores for all the people that actually signed up for the games in our North Central region ( mostly legit athletes)!

I found out last week that my endometriosis is back, which is pretty bad news. If you don't know me personally you can read my old blog to kind of catch up with my past struggle with endometriosis. You may be wondering why I'm bringing that up in my diet/exercise blog, but it actually really affects that stuff. I get a lot of abdominal pain as a symptom and that makes it really difficult to want to exercise. My pain also increases sometimes when I lift heavy things tense up the muscles in my stomach a lot which is like every part of exercising. It affects my diet also because I get a little sick to my stomach when my pain gets bad, and I also don't always have the energy to make a healthy meal or go to the gym. Well that's enough of my pity party, I'm going to be looking into a few different treatment options and I'm hoping that if I continue eating better and working out it will actually help with the endometriosis and it's symptoms.
