I started following some guidelines in the book Carb Nite (I apologize, the site is a little scammy and hokey) over the last 10 days. I waited a full 10 days of Ultra Low Carb eating, and decided that the night of Day 11 would be my insulin-spiking feast! During the 10 days I ate…
I was worried about this one, because all these weighted lunges as of late have really taken a toll on my emotions, (speaking of emotions, I need to update you all about my Amino Acid Experiment!) But.. I was good! It was good. WOD: 12 Minute AMRAP 20 – ABMSU10 – Overhead Lunges (95/65)5 –…
And by Transformers they don’t mean machines, they mean transforming normal people into hot, crying messes. At least that’s what happened to me! First, the good news. We were doing some silly strength cycle (I hate strength cycles.. I shouldn’t, but I do.) so I decided to find my C&J 1RM again, which I haven’t…
Dave’s brother, Jon, and his wife, April, were in town for a few days visiting. Dave somehow convinced April that she’d love CrossFit, so she agreed to come with me. Yippeee! We went to an afternoon class, and did the following: WOD: 6 Rounds 1:00 ME Wall Balls (20/16):30 ME Box Jumps (24/20″) *Step Down…
Essentially, I am depleting my body of carbs, starches, and sugars in an effort to force it into ketosis, to force it to burn fat instead of the food I’m eating for fuel. The first day was the hardest, but after that it was no big deal, and so far today has been great too.…
So I went and got my bodpod done again. My results were identical to my previous one in January, except I weighed 2 more pounds this time than before. My lean body mass is still at 134, perfect. I also decided that since I did my bodpod, that I’d go ahead and knock off the…
Today was our 2nd bring a friend day of August, but I didn’t bring any friends. 🙁 They’re all at CF, or they’ve all decided they have no interest in being a part of that aspect of my life. Ah well, I’ve quit asking people. So Dezi and I decided to do our own little…
I thankfully made it back into the gym after several days of packing, moving, throwing away, sorting, organizing and setting back up. We relocated one office space to a new unit in our current building, and lucky us, we get to do it all over again with our other office space, which is also going…
Alright.. seeking advice from my Crossfitter friends! What do you all suggest for leaning out/losing fat while still maintaining your strength? I’ve just about had it with myself. Some info: I eat pretty well, mostly paleo. I am gluten free. I eat some fruit, some sweet potato, a little dairy/cheese (cream or kerrygold in coffee),…
Lately after finishing certain benchmark and Hero WODs, I’ve found myself saying, “next year I’ll RX this one..” Which turned into me wanting to make a list of goals to work towards and then put it out here, so I can attempt to hold myself accountable. Next Year I will RX the following WODs: Murph…
