Day 8

Wow.. that's a lot of catching up to do. Let's just say cheat days were filled with unhealthy nutritional values
Morning Weigh-in: 258.4... Whaaaaat???
Last night's sleep: 11 hours... that's why 258. haha


Foodstuffs
0730: Cheerios and nonfat milk, 2 glasses of water.

1130: 8 strawberries
1400: spinach salad with roasted chicken breast and honey mustard dressing.
2100: nonfat cottage cheese and canned peaches (drained)

Workout (explanation from the WOD website)
"Fight Gone Alright"

In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. The stations are:

  1. "Chuck-ball", 8lbs thrown as high as you can
  2. Sumo Deadlift High-Pull, 16kg kettlebell
  3. Box Jump, 20"
  4. DB Push Press: 25lbs
  5. Burpees

The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of "rotate," the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.

My score: 219
That's about how many cups of sweat i produced too. haha.

Supplements
-One-A-Day
-2 Glucosamine
-3 Omega-3

Other Notes
The switch from white to brown to no rice has been tough. I tried no rice for Lent, and my fast quickly became non-existent. Brown rice isn't too difficult for me to eat; the only problem is that nobody cooks it but me, and I get lazy to cook it. The portions of rice that I eat have drastically decreased since starting BLD's biggest loser, and even more since starting GRFS. I've had 2 cups about 3 times/week. I'm trying to get it down to 1 cup 2 times/week.

Day 4

WOD: 100 jumping pullups for time - 5:25.63

Day 3

Shorts, beater, and shirt weight (tonight): 262.8. i'm not gonna weigh myself every day. the change isn't drastic enough day to day so the results appear discouraging.

Breakfast: A cup of Mountain High yogurt.
Lunch: A cup of Mountain High yogurt and a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios and a pint of nonfat milk.
4:30pm "Dinner": Corned Beef, the last two short ribs that magically appeared from last night, about 2 cups of rice (boooooooo), an individual string cheese.
Post-workout (9:30pm) dinner: A bowl of shrimp and vegetables (looked like peas and collard greens to me) in watered-down oyster sauce.

WOD: Tabata everything. My total score was kind of low for what I expect of myself, but that just means I've gotta work harder, right? And guess what??? I warmed up!

GRFS Day 2

-Morning weight was 263.2. I guess last night's 261.2 was outdone by nilaga. It's still about a 12-pound drop from less than 5 weeks ago, when i clocked in at 275.0.

-Breakfast: Yogurt and some Knorr's packaged rice that I found. I could pronounce almost every ingredient, or I knew where it came from. Not too much Saturated Fat (5-7% DV).
-Lunch: Unfortunately, went back to that rice because I didn't wanna risk going into starvation mode. After, I grilled up a package of steaks. 2 steaks in a total 3-pound package. I ate one. Probably not a great idea to nap an hour after.
-Dinner: 5 "Turboed" Short Ribs and just went to town on steamed Broccoli.

-Supplements: One-A-Day, 1 Omega-3, 1 Glucosamine
-Snacks: About an hour before CrossFit, I woke up and had about 5 oz. of the other steak.

-Workouts: It took me ~45 minutes to mow the lawn... I guess that's working out. CrossFit at Greenlake WOD was 12 Thrusters (Squat to a Push Press) and 21 Broad Jumps, 5 rounds for time (but only made 1/4 of the warmup... thanks, Ate... again. haha just kidding)

Foundation CrossFit 6-Week Get Right For Summer Challenge

Day 1: Monday, April 20, 2009

-Breakfast: Approx. 1 cup of Mountain High Strawberry yog(h)urt and a PB&J sandwich. Jiff is legit peanut butter. Danish Orchards strawberry preserves is all natural and has maybe 4 or 5 ingredients. Potato bread isn't very healthy though. 2 cups of nonfat milk.
-Lunch: ~4 oz. "Turbo"-broiled steak and ~2 cups of white rice
-Dinner: Nilaga and rice. I honestly don't know how much I had, but I can say for sure it was a lot more than I should have eaten.

-Stuff I snacked on: 1 cup of that yogurt, 1 banana
-Supplements: One-A-Day Men's, 1 Omega-3 gelcap (3/day is recommended), 1 glucosamine horse-sized pill (2/day recommended)

-Workout: Worked out at Greenlake. WOD was Tabata Squats, and 50-30-10 Lunges/Bench Dips (minus the warmup)
