Tall socks, no shirt.

CrossFit officially today. I went to bed at 6:15, rolled out of bed at 10:54 and threw my brand-spankin new tall socks on for the 11am team WOD. Domination ensued, and I think it was mainly because of the socks, which obviously make you more bad ass. Just as these ladies.



My rest yesterday left me ridiculously 'up' and ready for today to start, and I was seriously shaking when the wall balls began.

We did the team stadium WOD from last year's CrossFit Games. My team was Carol, Marcos, Kirk, and me.
The 11am WOD:

30 wall balls #20- only one person lifting at a time
300m row
30 box jumps
30 KB swings 1.5 pood
30 push press 45#
30 deadlift 225#- only one person lifting at a time

Time 15:44!

Obviously that wasn't enough so I took my parents out to the track to hit up workout #2. Out at the track I did:

At 1:30pm
5 Rounds of:
10 pullups
10 pushups
Tire pull 25m
Bleachers with tire overhead (I'm guessing the tire was 50#, it was biggest one laying around)
40m over head tire run
Tire drag (backwards) 25m
5 burpees

14 something mintues

That overhead tire run is something that I never, ever want to do again. It was awful, and the day I see a stack of tires in front of CSCF is the day I join a new gym.. just kidding. But really, awful.

After the track with headed to Naked Fish to get a little sushi and some fried ice cream. Totally worth the sugar hit, but now it's sleepy time for an hour or two of much needed rest.

back = shredded

Second day of blogging what I eat, and I'll be honest, even though it's not like anyone will read this, it still is affecting what I put into my body. I was telling Daren today that I had a solid week and a half were I just craved sweets and pizza all day. Every day. I think I've snapped out of it a little, but that doesn't mean I won't still have to work a little at it.

0700: 3.5 oz nilgai sausage, 2 eggs (fried), one super ripe, sweet kiwi
1045: one sausage patty (1.5 oz?) and a handful of walnuts
1315: Pan seared venison steaks and a plate full of broccoli with almost a half an avocado mixed in.
1730: uh oh... Large Quizno's chicken sandwich. To my defense I was doing a service project with an organization I'm in and I was hungry. I didn't eat ALL of the bread...
2000: 2.5 oz tuna, handful of walnuts. I need to chill out on the nuts for sure.

The venison was awesome, it was just some tenderized round steak I had sitting in the freezer. I marinated the meat over night with: lemon juice, whole peppercorns, dried chipotle, garlic salt, and just a touch of italian dressing. It was so good. Way juicy and tender.

I got in a pretty good workout at 1600, but here's the kicker: I had to go it alone. I totally forgot what it is to do a WOD alone; it's just a totally different dynamic, especially when it's a tough one. This is a Schaub creation WOD.

5 rounds for time:
20 double unders
7 bear complexes with 95# (one bear complex is: clean to front squat to push press to back squat to push press. That's ONE rep!)
10 KB snatch left arm/10 KB snatch right arm. 20 kg.

18:28.

Brutal WOD and I slowed way down after round three. My back said no, and my mind listened...

Fitness blog

Alright kiddos, here it is, one more blog to add to my list. My emphasis here will be to record my workouts and nutrition. I've been a little lacking, to say the least, in the nutrition department. (read: too much ice cream). So I'm looking for a little accountability here. Comment away!

0800 with Charlie, Kirk, and The Schaub:

1K row

Squat 3-2-2-2-3 @ 225-275-315-315-315

Metcon:8:32 - 3 rounds for time of
20 135# back squat
20 KB swings 1.5 pood
20 Knees to elbows

The WOD wrecked me! Totally difficult after we finished we couldn't figure out what the worst part actually was, it just all felt bad...

FOOD:
Breakfast 10am - A large cup of broccoli with 1/2 chicken breast and egg whites.. yum!
11:30- I was forced to eat a large piece of carrot cake that a friend baked... oops
14:00- One chicken breast, half avocado, half of a very large zucchini squash, with half the juice of one lime. raisins for dessert
1700- hungry again- a couple bites of chicken and a massive spoonful of peanut butter (NOT the healthy kind)
2100- 3 small patties of ground nilgai (kind of like venison, ie very lean) and a handful of glazed walnuts. The walnuts sound horrible but they're pretty lightly glazed and low in sugar and carbs. Not perfect paleo, but a decent dessert.
