Well, actually I've been back since Nov 30th, but I wanted to make sure it was going to stick before jumping on the bandwagon again.

Man, 2012 was a HARD year for me. Not only did my weightloss completely STOP but I found out that I have anemia and spondylolthesis - a pretty severe back condition. Then . . . I was told that I shouldn't do any load bearing squats because my spine could slip further. So it was basically quit Crossfit or have surgery where my spine would be fused together and breaking it would mean I would be paralyzed.

Those 3 things combined totally messed me up. They took their toll. After months of fighting, I just had to stop. It felt like I was pushing, pulling, fighting, doing everything in my power mentally, physically, and emotionally and things were either not budging, or getting worse. I truly needed a break.

So since Nov 30th I've been slowly implementing one change on top of the other, & now, I'm doing Jillian Micheal's Body revolution and . . . I BROKE THROUGH MY PLATEAU!! When I got on the scale I was in shock haha. I still don't think it's really set in. : )

My backs a little tweaky so I'm babying it and icing it, hoping to be back in the swing of things in a day or two: don't freak out over things you can't control - it all adds up in the end. A 93% and a 100% both = an A ; ) (at least at Akron University.)
