Crossfit Day 3!

I'm posting this a day late, but better late than never. I had issues with actually tracking my food in my tracker yesterday. I have been trying to use My Fitness Pal to track it, but it was having major issues loading yesterday. I stayed where I wanted to stay though, so that is good. I also have been bad about taking pictures...mainly because I run a daycare and it's hard to snap pics of the meals sometimes LOL 

Instead I fell back on the old tracking program I was using called LOSE IT! When I say fell back, I should probably explain. I was using LI! to track (when I was being good) but when I started doing Crossfit I couldn't find any of the exercises in there so I checked MFP. Well, I noticed at that time my calories were WAY off from what LI! said they should be. LI! said I should aim for 1629 calories, and MFP says 1280. I played with a few calculators online and they all said 1200's or so also. And of course, me posting this is reminding me I wanted to talk to my trainer about it last night so I will shoot him an email since he did my weight and measurement/body fat % yesterday and would probably be able to lead me in the right direction as to which is more accurate. 

Anyways, eating was good yesterday...but the part I wanted to really focus on was the exercising :D Yesterday's workout consisted of:

30 air squats3 front elbow plank's at 1 min each 
Upped our jog/run to 1400 meter run (I had to walk the last 400, my legs were shaking too much on me)
40 Kettle bell squats 
40 box steps (Hubby and the kids did jumps)

I feel like my run is getting stronger, although it's still laughable to passerby's I'm sure, it's definitely getting easier for me and my endurance is lasting a lot longer. The exercises pushed me, but I didn't wake up as sore today as I did the first day, so that's great! My family is loving it so far!
