(8/23/11)
Three rounds for time:
Run 800m
20 Ball slams (20, 15)
Time - Rxd 15:56
I walked close to 200m like a wuss - lungs were on fiiiire.
Omar and I have been watching the CrossFit games via ESPN on Xbox Live and I’m all motivated (and jealous). I’m just a little over a month into exercising (ran my first mile since those Presidential fitness tests in middle school) and I’ve got a helluva way to go.
Goals
- Real push-ups
- <7min mile (currently 8:00)
- Pull-up
Not even rushing it, so it may take me forever, but damnit, I’m doing it.
30 Days of Crossfit+Paleo COMPLETE
I don’t know what was up with tumblr but I haven’t been able to log in the past couple days (I’d enter in my info and it’d redirect to the login page - hmph).
SO I DID IT.
I did my first FIGHT GONE BAD and scored 226 (not rxd but scaled appropriately judging by my complete exhaustion and disorientation afterward).
Today I did “Tosh” in 29:40. I was told that’s not too shabby for being brand new and being a self-proclaimed running hater.
I was sloppy with Paleo this month. I stayed within my 9 cheat meals but only technically seeing I got lazy lots of days.
What’s next?
Sticking to CrossFit - it’s too much fun and something I look forward to rather than classes I used to memorize and count down till it was over.
Of course I’m staying Paleo; it’s changed the way I view food forever. Probably moving towards a 80-85% position. Honestly, cheats not only make me feel guilty but physically shitty afterward so it’ll be self-limiting.Two months of 90% got my body conditioned to expect real food instead of junk. Butttt if I want to have a margarita or sweet tea more often, I feel like I can handle it without falling off the wagon.
From now on I’ll post my WODs so I can keep track of improvements and really good meals. Deal?
Day 28 Crossfit+Paleo
I feel so drained today. Lethargic and not hungry. Mehhh.
Food: 1/4 smoked chicken, whey+strawberries+coconut milk
WOD:
5 rounds for time:
5 Dead lifts at 50% of 1MR (80lb for me)
15 Hands release pushups (ring push ups for me)
Time - 4:48
Tabata double unders - highest streak is your score.
41 singles since I’m so damn uncoordinated and can’t get double unders down.
Day 25-27 Crossfit+Paleo
Still busy, I swear.
Good food and good workouts.
Highlights:
Food -
Paleo fried okra - just subbed cornmeal for almond flour and vegetable oil for olive oil. SO DAMN GOOD.
Paleo cookout with brats, burgers and more fried okra.
Workouts -
Two rest days, whoops! Can’t wake up in time for morning WODs.
Today I did -
Run 1 mile.
Death by clean and jerks.
Run 1 mile.
Times - 8:00/6+6(45lb)/8:57
Ran a mile without stopping which is a huge deal for me. That’s the first mile I have ran in years! Unfit —> Fit, please!
