Good start to the week. I should be a lot more focused, seeing as my workload will decrease, along with my extracurricular activities (I think…) I always love having new people workout with us to motivate me, so having a Marine there today helped me a lot. We’re halfway done with the challenge this week, so I really gotta step it up to see some results. I’ll really put in the work this week. School is almost over!!

Ok. So. This has been a busy week for my in terms of school and stuff. Got barely any sleep in the beginning of the week, and then had to get through clinical the rest of the week. Tuesday was rough since I only slept for an hour the night before…I even fell asleep without Crossfitting. BLEH. I’ve only worked out 3 times so far this week, and I hope to run after Fil-Night. We’ll see though. What a crappy week. Maybe I’ll add an extra at the end. I dunno, I want to keep Crossfitting forever anyway. Hahah. Ok, time for some Fil-Night action. Probably the last time I will be acting in this thing ever. Maybe. Coz sometimes it’s hard to walk away from things like this.

Challenge Day 7 (Playing catch-up!)

Done with week 1!

Sleep: 6 hours

WOD: Football!! For two hours! [We won 7 touchdowns - 3 touchdowns]

Nutrition:

8:00 – 16 oz skim milk

10:10 – 3 poached eggs, 3 slices of “Canadian bacon” (it was really just ham), 1 slice of an English muffin, hollandaise sauce (the devil made me do it!), 16 oz skim milk

17:30 – Royal Red Robin burger sans bun, sans fries, sans mayo, two melon slices, 3 glasses (maybe 12 oz each?) of water

20:00 2 string cheese, chocolate milk (my new guilty pleasure), handful of nuts

Football was awesome today. I haven’t played in a while now, so it was great to be out there to hit some people. Crossfit has DEFINITELY made me quicker and stronger. I got off the line fast on defense and I thought I hit pretty solid today. My passes were pretty accurate on offense too, so I’m happy overall. It just feels good to do something with all the exercising that I have been doing. It’s like today I got to reap some of the benefits of working out so much. Ahh, I cannot wait til June 1st! But honestly, that’ll just be the next checkpoint.

I’m a bad cheater. (Day 6)

I wish I had time to work out yesterday. Oh well.

Sleep: 6 hours

WOD: Rest Day

Nutrition:

8:45 – 16 oz skim milk, 1/2 cup of watermelon

17:45 – 16 oz of water

19:00 – 1/2 cup of watermelon

20:00 – 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, 1/2 cup of peaches, 6 oz pork loin, 5 tiger prawns, spinach salad with Parmesan cheese, mushrooms, dried cranberries, cheddar cheese, and oil and vinegar, 16 oz milk

23:30 – 1 string cheese, 12 oz chocolate milk, handful of nuts

Tried to cheat today, but also tried to keep it reasonable. Nothing I ate was overly “bad” for me, so I think I did alright. Too tired to blog again yesterday, especially since I had work this morning at 7. I’ll blog again tonight. Go Seahawks! Aaron Curry!! HOO RAH!

Challenge Day Cinco.

Five days in the books!

BW: 183.0 (Damn. Must have been that dinuguan!)

Sleep: 9 hours (Skipped clinical again — felt crappy in the AM with my ankle again. But rebounded, like usual!)

WOD: ASRAP in 15 minutes of 5 30# Thrusters, 10 Burpees [8 complete, +5 thrusters, +5 burpees (so close to 9!!)]

Finisher: stretch, and watch Mike do his KB swings. haha.

Nutrition:

9:30 – 24 oz skim milk, turkey deli meat, slice of Swiss cheese (from the sandwich that my lola made me, heh heh!), < handful of nuts, 1 apple

12:00(ish) – a little jerky, a few nuts, < 5 oz Green Machine Superfood Naked Smoothie (just for a little flavor…), 1 string cheese

14:00 – snacked on some more nuts

19:00 – 27 oz water during workout

20:15 – 1 cup of cottage cheese, 1 cup of peaches (canned), 3 oz (or less) smoked salmon, 3 oz of mixed veggies, 16 oz skim milk –> I went to work to pick up my brother, and I pretty much just ate people’s scraps, and then raided the fridge for a couple servings of cottage cheese and peaches

Man. I am so worn out. I’m going to take a rest day tomorrow, but I honestly really wanna keep active. My body weight went up a little, but it shouldn’t concern me too much. Today was tough though. I almost broke my diet a couple times when my Ate Mika kept showing me the ice cream that she bought from Ranch 99 (Halo-Halo, and Ube, of course) and my mom kept tempting me with the turon (fried banana in brown sugar wrapped in lumpia wrappers) and even had it dangling in front of my face. Thanks for the support, mommy. Haha.

Still, the rest of my diet did kinda suck today. I didn’t eat too much because I was busy doing other things (washing my car, writing a paper, etc.) I felt like my WOD results were kinda weak too. I don’t wanna blame it on the fact that I have worked out 5 days straight now, but I’m sure it contributed to it somewhat. But maybe I just need to get stronger. “Being fat hurts more,” according to Mike. Haha, awesome advice. Almost as good as Lora’s constant “Fuck-it!”‘s when I was doing my DB swings yesterday. I have the best motivators!

NFL Draft tomorrow! HOO RAH!

Challenge Day 4

Freakin’ woke up today with a bum ankle! Couldn’t walk, couldn’t stand! So I had to skip clinical. Which means hella sleep for me!

Sleep: 12 hours, but from 8:00-9:00 had to stay awake to call my clinical instructor…then I knocked out!

BW: 182.0 – new low!

WOD: As many DB swings in 7 minutes.  [173, 35#]

Finisher: 2 teams, everyone goes in plank position, or the top of the push-up. One person on each team sprints to the cherry blossoms and back and then tags the next person, and goes into plank position as well. Time is called when last person gets back from sprint.  [Team Badass: 3:48]

Nutrition (I realized that not all the food I eat are “meals.” So now this section is called “nutrition.”

12:45 (YES! Got to sleep in!) – 24 oz milk, chicken drumstick, handful of blackberries

16:30 – 1 oz beef jerky, handful of nuts

17:45 – 1 large apple

19:45 – < 8 oz of the Green Machine Superfood Naked Smoothie (I figure the fruit sugars would help satiate me after the workout), 27 oz water throughout workout (but I didn’t drink most of it, mainly rinsed my mouth)

21:15 – 24 oz of milk, 2 bowls of dinuguan (yummy! chocolate meat!)

Funny how I can wake up and barely walk, but then be able to complete the WOD. Pain is truly psychological (as I have learned in nursing school). I might need a rest day coming up. But I am addicted to Crossfit. Especially since I got back down to 182. My weight loss is a huge motivator. That’s why I watched so much “Biggest Loser” today (and Queer Eye…)

Challenge Day 3

Damn. Too tired to post last night. So here I am posting!

Hours of Sleep: 5 (I need to sleep earlier!)

WOD: Tabata Nada! Push-ups, lunge, dips, jumping jacks, and…SQUATS! [4, 10, 13, 21, 13 = 61]

Finisher: Leap-frog!!

Meals:

8:30 – 2 fried eggs, chicken tocino (sans tocino…*sniff* so it was just chicken breasts…), 12 oz milk

10:30 – 27 oz water

13:15 (late lunch coz of clinical) – 2 hard boiled eggs, 2 string cheese, handful of nuts, MAYBE 1 oz of jerky (it wasn’t that much…I just wanted the flavor.

19:45 (post-workout) – 1 oz beef jerky, handful of nuts, 27 oz of water

21:30 – 1/3 rotisserie chicken (sans skin…really watching those calories…), 24 oz milk, handful blackberries, <8 oz of the Green Machine Superfood Nake Smoothie (hella sugar, but all from fruits. Had to get my “dessert” fix in)

Like I said, hella tired last night. Probably the least I’ve eaten in a while too. Gotta get my goal!

It’s only day 2??

Just kidding. It’s not that bad. Especially since I’ve been on point with Crossfit since my surgery. OH! And today I took out the metal support rods in my knee brace, which means that my brace now supports me less. (Duh, talk about a circulatory definition. Never define a word with the word in the definition, kids.) Anyway, I want to transition into just wearing a knee sleeve in a couple of weeks, so I guess this is the first step.

WOD: 12 db thrusters (30#), 21 broad jumps, 5 rounds for time [11:51]

Finisher: The “Best Stretch in the World.” – according to Dru. Also tried a few Turkish Get-ups (20#), push-ups off the dumbbells, and threw the football around. And hit a cyclist.

Meals:

8:45 – 2 hard boiled eggs, 1 pepperoni stick, water, handful of mixed nuts, 2 string cheese

11:15 – apple (what kind? a little kind. took me about 3 bites.)

12:30 – 1.5 oz of beef jerky, handful of nuts, 1 hard boiled egg, 1 string cheese, water!

14:30 – another hard boiled egg, more nuts, more water, more jerky

17:45 // pre-workout – few nuts, some jerky, water to get ready

21:25 – turkey and swiss sandwich (sans the bread again. sorry again Lola.), 18-20 oz of skim milk, more water, pepperoni stick

Man I need to sleep. I got about 4 hours again last night. All this procrastination is killing my circadian cycle. I will try harder. I’ll also start posting up my weights and hours of sleep and any other pertinent information. Good night!

GRFS Day 1! Opening Day!

WOD: 50-30-10 Lunges, Dips; for time [4:22]

Finisher: Tabata Squats. Yummy. [13]

Meals: (since it seems so popular to add in…)

7:30 – 1 fried egg

10:00 – 27 oz of water

11:00 – 27 oz of water

12:45 – 3 string cheese, handful of assorted nuts (unsalted), 1 oz beef jerky, more water, multi-vit/omega-3 fish oil supplement

20:00 – chicken salad sandwich, sans the bread (sorry Lola — she made me the sandwich, I just ate the inside. haha), more nuts, 1 string cheese

21:00 – venti water from starbucks, 2 pepperoni sticks, 16 oz of milk, a few more nuts. I’m nuts for nuts.

So today was day one. Officially day one. I was gonna blog sooner, like some of the other folks. However, I decided not to. I decided to cheat as much as I could on Sunday, devouring as much fried, starchy, and sugary food as much as possible (like the sweet potato fries tossed in powdered sugar. That’s one way to accomplish all three of those cheating objectives.) Also hit up Melting Pot for some bombness in a fondue form. Yea, so that’s why I didn’t blog. Alas, here I am. It’s gonna be hella fun. I can’t wait to see how things turn out on June 1st. It’s great to see so many people excited about working out too. Reminds of football. Except there are girls. Not just girlie-men. Right now I am at 185 pounds. Although I know that weight doesn’t ultimately mean too much since muscle weighs more than fat to begin with, it would be nice to drop a few pounds. Quite a few actually. I want to get to 165. 20 pounds in 6 weeks. Sounds reasonable. Maybe. Oh well. Time to get poppin’!
