Hello my faithful few, today I am swamped so just a quick recap.
3 eggs for breakfast and a cup of tea
a bowl of chunky tomato soup and a egg-white protein shake for lunch
a shake after workout with cherries and raspberries
taco meat on a bed of lettuce (now)
**I eat too little, it's still poorly planned and I'm not sleeping enough.
Good news:
Power snatches in 2's today (from ground to over-head) I did 85 lb.
Back squats: count of four down, I did 135 lb.
**Today was good but I'm tapped. I think I need a day off... that sleep lack is making it difficult to recover.
Sorry for the boring-ness, but I'm being accountable this time. :)

One month later...
We did the second dunk on Thursday. Even with my huge backslides, I still lost almost 3 percent body fat! I'm pretty excited because it puts me in the "good" range. I was "average" going into this. I am officially under 20%. :-D
Of course as all over-analyzers do, I enjoyed my victory for about an hour and then started to wonder. What if I had stayed on-track? What if I hadn't used those first few weeks to get my feet wet and really just jumped into this? What if I followed all the advice my trainers/friend-trainers are giving me? Could I match that? Could I beat it?
Well, I guess we'll see. This is a four week extension. It's for no one but me, and I'll be accountable on here. Here's the plan: follow the quasi-paleo that I found worked for me in the final week; follow the advice of the Crossfit trainers and peers; keep a food journal on here; post regularly. The posts may not be as entertaining, but I realized that this is my documentation and not everyone can be as witty as Jill (http://uncomfortablemuch.blogspot.com/), so my posts will be honest and probably less interesting. But maybe I'll average more than twice a month :)
Today (honestly... I'm fessing up):
3 eggs, coffee with 2 splenda and 1/8 c milk
handful of blackberries (meant to eat nuts but forgot them at home)
half an avocado, bunless cheeseburger with onions, tomato, cheese and lettuce, sugar-free jello
smoothie: one cup raspberries, one scoop egg white protein, 6 ounces water
**Self critique: I need more protein in the afternoon; I need to eat more often; I need to cut back on my sugar; I need to plan my meals better.
Workout:
20 rounds on the minute of 3- 75# thrusters, 6- kettle bell swings
**Self critique: I could've done 80# and went up in KB half-way through. I'm just so paranoid about not finishing or dropping down weight part way through the WOD. I need to push hard so if I fail, I fail hard (not hurt just hard). Man up, Di, come on!
I've also signed up to participate in a Crossfit Competition. 3 rough workouts in 1 long day. My goal is to finish all three... even if I'm last. To prepare for this (on April 10th), we're working in two-a-day WODs (Workout Of the Day) sporadically. The trouble is that I can't seem to get into the box (gym) more than once. So I'm thinking that on the two-a-days, I'll do a "travel WOD" on my own and then get in there for the other one. Let's give that a trial; I don't want to over-do anything so I'll take it slow at first. However, I'm not going into that competition unprepared!
To quote a phrase from my people:
