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 Edited by bigstabile1 on 12-12-2009 04:08 |

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 Edited by bigstabile1 on 20-12-2009 04:09 |

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 Edited by bigstabile1 on 21-12-2009 10:27 |

15-12-9 Deadlift, 115lbs jack knife push-ups 5:58 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. |

Today's a rest day. When ever I miss a couple workouts I always debate whether or not to just stick with the Crossfit WOD schedule. In the end it doesn't really make a difference and I prefer to follow along with the schedule. 5:30 am Smoothie (protein powder, milk, oats, frozen blueberries, peanut butter, olive oil) 10:30 am tuna (mayo, celery seeds and brown mustard) 2 slices whole grain bread blueberries/blackberries 2:15 pm cheddar cheese tangerine almonds 6:00 pm pork chop rice Salad (spinach, broccoli, peppers, salsa, black beans, parm. cheese, bacon bits, olive oil and red wine vinegar) fish oil 8:15 pm whole milk almonds Edited by bigstabile1 on 22-12-2009 23:05 |

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. Edited by bigstabile1 on 27-12-2009 02:57 |
