Default Hi there

Hi everyone my names sue ,
Soooo
Been pretty much primal. For a good while with periods of going off piste 😱
I started Crossfit last October which I love love love !!! At the same time I decided that I really needed to stop scales and weight defining me and my life , as In allowing the number on the scales to define what kind of day I'd have , sad happy ect . Been like this my whole life and that realisation made me so very sad . So I now have absolutely no idea what I weigh other than I'm around the same size as 6 months ago ,which for me is an incredible achievement , I've allowed my body to settle down after 30 years of yo yo dieting so I feel really good most of the time.
I'm proud of what my body can do In The box and focus on the great way I fell rather than the weight I am . Now I do want to drop weight as I'm now 43 and the heavy lifting in Crossfit is playing havoc on my knees coupled with my weight , but and this is the bugbear I refuse , simply refuse to go back to the self limiting , self hating ways that I've always had in the past !
So the scales are still out but I'm here to log , report on and take responsibility for my actions in the hope that the great supportive environment on a forum like this will give me the positive focus i need for results while still maintaining the positive vibe 😁😁😁
So sorry for the waffle long post but I'm here and will do my best to post my musings and journey here as I go along and try to formulate a plan of action xxx
