So today is my rest day so enjoy those Turkish Getups everyone :) Also Erick and Camie got after me for my 1200 calorie a day goal, so I will increase that to 1400-1600. Food for today will not reach that goal however because it is my family's assigned day by the Stake for the Missionary Fast through out the Stake...so Fasting today until dinner.
Yesterday Iforgot to bring in my food journal but are well. B-Protein shake with almonds snack- beef jerky L-cottage cheese and boiled egg snack-cheese stick and apple D-chicken soup, boiled eggs -and lots and lots of water after work out-protein shake
Push press: 45, 55, 65, 70 WOD: 4 rounds plus 10 getups with 18lbs and 16" box.
I like turkish get ups. They are weird and awkward like me.
My biggest wish is for everyone to NOT count calories. This diet method is based on the first law of thermodynamics (Change in energy = Calories in-Calories out), which is a fundamental law of physics but doesn't really answer WHY people gain weight. Don't misinterpret this for, "I can eat as much or whatever I want." We know by now that WHAT we put in our mouths is significant (understatement). I could talk about this FOREVER but if you're interested in this specific topic, do some reading on Gary Taubes' blog. He does such a great job of explaining the fallacy we've been fed by our government and doctors. Start with this entry...and I have both of his books if you are interested in borrowing them.
Thanks Heleen, I think i'd be doing great if I could cut out sugar, counting calories is way too hard for me.
I really enjoyed working out with the 9:30 class;great work all!
Push Press: 65, 95, 115 WoD: 5 rounds even, I think. 26# KB for the Turkish get-ups, and 24" box for box jumps.
Food: b. smoothie (24 oz). Two pieces of french toast, with pure maple syrup. I know, I know, I can do better.
Heleen, please post what you eat, I would love to see what you prefer for meals and snacks.
We all get ideas from each other as well as motivation and encouragement. Please post, if only to show your times or rounds or reps. That sense of community and responsibility to our gyms community will help solidify you in your commitment to improving your fitness. Please post!
And by the way, the entire gym should plan on signing up for the CrossFit games. Here is the website so you can learn more about it. It is really fun and there is nothing to lose! games.crossfit.com.
Great workout 9:30 class. It made a difference in my energy level working out at a later time for me. Maybe if I get up at 4AM I will have the same amount of energy by 6AM.
Push Press: 65, 70, 75 a PR for me! WOD: 4 rounds + 7 Turkish Get-ups. 10lb and 10" box jumps mixed with step-ups
I really enjoy keeping a food journal. I used to do it but have gotten out of the habit. I can see my need for more vegetables! Yesterday: Water - 108 ounces Breakfast- Protein shake mixed w/ water Snack - Hardboiled egg, Clementine and cheese stick Lunch - Turkey sandwich on Dave's killer bread, no cheese. Sweet potato chips. Dinner - 1 6oz piece of chicken, 1 1/2 cookies (bad, bad) I have been trying to stay away from sugar (I'm an addict) and noticed a difference in how I felt after I ate 1 1/2 cookies. That is a good lesson for me to not eat sugar.
Dinner- I think I made up for fasting...eat a huge salad with the works. Lettuce,tomato,celery,boiled eggs, cheese, etc. and I ate about 5 oz. of beef jerky. Made the mistake of going shopping at Costco while hungry...let just say my children were delighted, Ben not so much. I have also had lots to drink, my body was craving some water. I'm excited to be back in the gym again tomorrow.
Rest day for me, whichni have to say I needed. I am so sore from my pull ups.
Food B: protein shake with tropical fruit mix S: mixed nuts L: chicken ceasar salad and diet coke S: dark chocolate and cashews D: Asian Salad and turkey hot-dog
Today has been my hardest day yet of dieting. I felt very low energy and light headed. Hopefully my body will adjust soon to having no grains.
Food diary: B: Protein smoothie with fruit and spinach S: small apple and handful of almonds L: pork and shitake lettuce wraps (leftovers!) S: 2 stalks of celery with almond butter, few oz of chicken breast leftover from rotisserie chicken D: Pan-seared wild caught salmon over sauteed spinach, steamed green beans with ghee and toasted slivered almonds Supplements: Fish oil, Super-B complex, Vitamin D, Magnesium, digestive enzymes, probiotic. These are the ones I take every day so I'll just post them this once. Lots of water.
B: Protein smoothie with fruit and yogurt S: 1/2 C pistachios L: Salad with hearts of palm, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms; Pork, Bacon, turkey, chicken hearts (organ meats are good for you!), beef, 12oz soda. Guess who had lunch at Tucanos?! S: Grapes D: Same as Heleen (see above) S: small protein smoothie
Okay, sorry for the 3rd post, but wanted to suggest if you are feeling sluggish without grains try taking B-Vitamins and/or using Emergen-C once or twice a day.
Today's food: a handful of Townes house crackers, 2 bottles of Gatorade for while I was a ref for 3 straight games, 1/2 serving of olive garden lasagne, 5 bread sticks, and a salad with no dressing.
So today is my rest day so enjoy those Turkish Getups everyone :)
