Hey, everybody look at me!  I'm blogging and it has only been eight months since my last blog!  And by everybody I mean me since this blog is mostly for my own sake. And by mostly I mean entirely.

So here's my weight check in- I hit 130 pounds on a cleanse right before I turned 30.  And then... well, it all came back.  I weighed in at my gym (with all my clothes after a night of eating bad and two margaritas) at 137.  137 is like my arch nemisis of weight.  My body has been going back to this weight since high school, maybe even middle school.  And it's my heavy weight.

The thing is I don't feel heavy right now.  I feel strong.  Yesterday I strung together four kipping pullups.  I can do handstand pushups with three stacked abmats.  I can box jump on and off.  I can do twenty something double unders in a row.  I'm rxing about 90% of the WODS at my Crossfit gym.  And if I stay off gluten and eat clean for 2-3 days, I can see little lines in my mostly flat stomach.

Maybe I need to learn to accept that my weight will be in the 130s.  It's not considered overweight even though I'm 5'2 and my body fat registers in at a healthy range (using multiple and all unreliable methods).  But something always pulls me back to that 120-125 goal.  It's not even a thin goal.  It's a healthy goal, just on the better side of healthy.  Right now I feel like I'm on the lesser side of the healthy scale with my weight.  I'll try and check in again soon.  Maybe blogging= accountability. I know it's worked for many of my friends.  But who has time for that?  Answer, unemployed me.  I don't want to blog on that though because even I don't want to read about that when I go back and look at this in eight months to a year.

Right now we're doing a Living Primal Challenge at Heroes Crossfit.  My goal is to come back on here in two weeks when the challenge is up (for us anyway, we're ending a week early) and update you (this site and my future self) on my progress.  Let's hope for a 132 pound weight- that's the prebaby aim.
