I don't. BUT make sure he gives everything to you STRAIGHT. Make sure you understand everything he says. Pick his brain down to every last detail.

I am seeing an MD physio tomorrow. Does anyone wonder anything to hit the doc with while I am at it?

Why? Kap, I was thinkin about it, yesterday, and it's so quiet here... I think there are only 2 or 3 of us that are actually ever here, at all. Sad

SHOUT DAMNIT!

Alex your bf?

Getting ready for hurricane Alex

I knew something was mentioned the other year, I just recently figured it was the engagement announcement.

At least we know who pays attention, around here... right guys?

Lol....

Stag?

Congrats! Start a thread KPD to tell us about the ceremony, reception, stag and all that.

KPD got married

Welding?

I remember the fun those welding shouts were.

WTF is the matter with you?

Take pics? why, if I use my laptop while sitting on it it becomes a magic flying futon and I can shoot lightning at you in person.

Shit I dont know man, where did it go? Take pics of the new futon!!! You sleep on the thing or only sit on it?

Well folks, I have taken time off and think the mold thing was the problem, so tomorrow I start my next program and journal for it.

Hmm, what happened to that mold thread of mine?

They are all getting rowdy like Roesthlisberger in a bathroom stall

Ok, let's get this going again.

Haven't been able to post in here for a while, so here's a little update.

Really slacked off for most of this year, was pretty much just off and on and the last few months I was mostly off. Got started back again with Crossfit, probably in mid October and was going pretty good until about Thanksgiving. I was sick from the weekend after Thanksgiving until the beginning of this week and I let myself recover the rest of this week. Haven't exercised this week other then walking my dog, which isn't horrible, did about 2 miles everyday except Wednesday because it was raining. Tomorrow starts a new 3 day crossfit cycle so I'd like to get started.

Also, I'm going into full fat loss mode right now. I've gotten fat (for me), my clothes aren't fitting right and I generally feel uncomfortable. I'm not sure what I weigh right now, but I could probably lose at least 10-15lbs. Hard to tell where I'm at because my muscle mass is down but my weight is still up. Obviously still doing crossfit, I'm just really going to start tightening the screws on my diet. I've already gotten rid of (read: eaten) all of the junk food in my house and have started working on getting stocked up on what I should be eating. Of course Christmas is coming up, so my challenge there is all the cookies that my mom and sister make. I'm still going to eat them, I'll just need some self control. I know what I have to do, I just need to do it.

Today's WOD looks kind of rediculous, if I workout today I'm probably going to do the split jerks from earlier in the week.


Started off good so far today.

5:20am
3 whole eggs, over easy, with salsa and black beans
2 strips of bacon
small glass of green goodness juice

9am
trail mix
piece of sharp white cheddar
piece of havarati
blueberries

12:30pm
chicken breast
salad
tangerine

Ok, fell off the wagon a bit over the weekend. I think I just needed to get it out of my system. Got on track today and I'm ready to get going.

7:30 am
walnut bran muffin
glass of milk

10:00 am
trail mix

1:00 pm
shrimp
salad with evoo/balsamic vinaigrette
tangarine

6:00 pm
2 pork chops
mixed veggies with salsa and black beans
2 super epa pills

7:00 pm
22oz smoked porter (beer)

8:30 pm
chunky peanut butter

Overall not too bad. I was running super late this morning which is why I just had a muffin and milk. Also, need to step up my vegetable quotient.

On workout days I would normally have protein powder, oats and honey between lunch and dinner. I need to make sure I have something in that slot on days I don't workout.

Weighed in at 192 this afternoon, about what I expected. I want to get down to around 175. I think the first 10 will be relatively easy after that it will take a bit of effort. Well see how I feel once I reach the sticking point. I don't see much reason to try and force it to much beyond that, I'm not interested in losing weight then gaining it right back.

Squats:
135x3
165x3
185x3
205x3

Would have attempted another set @ 225 if I had a spotter.

Had very low energy during my workout, it was probably from sitting at that lunch. I feel like I'm at about rock bottom with my strength, so it can only go up from here.

Pretty much snowed in this afternoon, wasn't able to workout. Diet hasn't been much to write home about either.

I'm going to toy with the Zone Diet over the next two weeks. I feel like I need some kind of structured diet plan to get me on track. With the holidays coming up this week it's going to be tough to follow it all out, so I'm going to get a feel for it now then the week after New Years I'll really put it to work.

The main premise is that the macros are eaten in precise ratios at each meal (40/30/30 c/p/f) so everything is weighed and measured. This is an idea that I'm normally resistant to, which is why I want to get a feel for it, but my portion control has gotten out of wack so I need some direction

I put a meal plan together to see what a typical day might look like.

Breakfast:
3 eggs
2oz Canadian bacon
1/2 English muffin
2/3 cup of onion
1/4 cup black beans
1/2 cup berries
2/3 tsp butter
2 fish oil caps
coffee with 2tbs half and half

Lunch
5oz chicken
4 cups spinach
1 1/4 cups broccoli
1 apple
2/3 cup bell peppers
1 1/2 cups mushrooms
1 2/3 tsp olive oil

Snack
1/2 cup yogurt
3 almonds

Dinner
7.5oz tilapia
6 Tbs brown rice
2 cups green beans
9 crushed almonds
1/3 tsp olive oil
2 fish oil
1 orange

Snack
1 cup milk
1/2 tsp peanut butter

Looking back at that plan, it appears that I miscalculated some of the amounts, I must have read the chart wrong. Breakfast was ok, but it looks like I'm off a little at lunch and dinner.

5:45
3 eggs
2oz Canadian bacon
1/2 English muffin
2/3 cup of onion
1/4 cup black beans
1/2 cup berries
2/3 tsp butter
2 fish oil caps
coffee with 2tbs half and half

11:15
5oz chicken
4 cups spinach
1 1/4 cups broccoli
1 apple
2/3 cup bell peppers
1 1/2 cups mushrooms
1 2/3 tsp olive oil


2:30 pm
1/2 cup plain f/f yogurt
6 almonds

6:00 pm
7oz tilapia
6 tbs wild/brown rice
1 cup green beans
9 crushed almonds
1 2/3 tsp olive oil
tangerine

8:30 pm
1 cup whole milk
1/2 tsp peanut butter

Not bad, I was debating whether to use 135 or not for the deads. In hindsight I should have, as I didn't have to break them up at all and they were very easy.

10:30 am
tuna (mayo, celery seeds and brown mustard)
2 slices whole grain bread

Front Squat 1-10-1-20-1-30 reps

Post total load (add up all six barbell loads) to comments.

155x1
115x10
155x1
75x20
155x1
45x30

Total: 700

The sets of 10,20 and 30 were properly weighted. I could have gone higher on the singles, but I didn't know what to expect. Interesting workout though, my legs are shot.

I'm so freakin' sore today from the deads yesterday. My whole body is banged up! No workout today, I was too hung over from last night. Can't say I'm missing doing another 1-10-1-20-1-30 workout.


No sense posting my diet, it's been terrible. Back to business tomorrow though.

Run 2K (1.25 miles)

14:47


Decent time, should be a closer to 2 miles in that time though. I'd like to ultimately get my 5k time around 20 minutes.

I've started to use fitday to track my diet, so I'm going to stop posting it here.

Yesterday my totals looked like this...

2156 calories
107g fat (38 sat., 15 poly. 34 mono)
151g carbs (30 fiber)
149 pro

That's 45/27/28 f/c/p.

I skipped a snack because I got a late start and it was almost 8:00 by the time I finished dinner. Not bad, I'd like to get more fiber.

I got the book The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth for Christmas and I've gotten some new ideas. I bought a lot of new vegetables to try today. I would strongly suggest picking up this book, especially if you find yourself eating the same things because you don't know what else to eat.
