Injury!

So all the handstand push up effort took it's toll and I hurt my wrist. This was weeks ago. Probably close to 5 weeks. I hyperextended it and either sprained or tore it. Or something. It hurts like hell to put any pressure on it like pushups etc. I can still do pull ups and deadlift, but nothing like clean or overhead stuff. It's basically anything where weight is on it pushing back toward my arm. It SUCKS! But oh well. I am taking it easy on it, hoping it will get better. I've had to wear a wrap on it and when I work out I use wrist wraps which does help.
I have been thinking about the whole stigma of Crossfit and how it's so injury prone blah  blah blah. And now that I have been injured, because I am doing Crossfit, I understand why this is no deterrent at all. I LOVE the results I've seen from doing a year plus of Crossfit. LOVE IT! I am in the best shape of my life, I look the best and I have the best mind set about my body that I've ever had.
Instead of always thinking about an unrealistic goal of slenderness I want to look like, I now am focusing on wanting to get my kipping pull ups, or handstand push ups, or double unders, or get my one rep max for deadlift over 200lbs. I have personal goals that are just for me and are measuring tape of success just for ME!
While Crossfit can get competitive and all that, I love how it's very individualistic in goals you want to reach for you.
I still run and still like running and probably always will. The combination for me has been dynamite. I still am up five lbs more then I would like, (but that's partly from eating like crap on the two week trip I went on and partly because I am gaining strength and muscle. ) I am trying to get it down so that next month when I start trying to get pregnant, I am at a starting point that I am happy with.
Yep. That's right. It's time to get pregnant again for the third and FINAL time. I CAN'T wait to be finished and not have to EVER do it again! Labor freaks me out still, and I REALLY don't want to push a baby out again. But I have done it twice and I know that as much as it will SUCK and HURT and be SOOOO painful and blallahhhhhhhh!, I can do it again. One. More. Time.
And of course that means I'll have to get my body back one more time too. But the thing about this next time is I'll be working towards a goal that will not be derailed because of having any more babies, which really makes me happy!

So for the next month and a bit, I am watching what I eat, exercising as hard as I can and prepping my body for the ordeal ahead.

And of course I am going to blog my way through this next journey. It will be fun. Right..... OK, it will be great to be through this stage in my life! Yes!
