Today

Today, i am back to earth. With last week being so exciting, with new skills and pbs (and some rxd's), tonight showed me how far i still have to go.

But......

No beating myself up, so self sabotage, just learning.

Food wise, was good. Some milk with coffee, some rice (a little) with dinner, but still close to totally clean.

Exercise was the wod.

4 rounds

6 muscles ups (did 12 muscle up progressions)
12 box jumps 32 inch (did 24, just couldn't get up there)
18 knees to elbows (did high knee raises)

21 odd mins, which was slow, but at least i got through it. Troubles with grip as my hand is still split from fran and cft deadlifts, but all in all I am happy with my progression and and where i am headed.

Progress

So it has been a few days, but I am back. It has been ok, not perfect by any means, but not too bad.

Friday was CFT, and I had 3 prs (woo too). 145kg back squat, 170kg deadliest and 70kg press. Getting ever closer to 1000lb cft club.

Friday night was a mates birthday party, and other than a couple of beers, I ate well and had a great night. As an added bonus, a guy I know was there who I normally avoid, as he normally has a bit of a dig at my weight (and I do not know him well enough to take it as supporting me). But Friday he came up, pointed at my gut, and said "wow you have lost a bit, you look good". Kinda a nice day.

Sunday came and it was my worst eating for a few months, but still better than the past. Today was a good solid 8/10. So I am getting there.

Thanks all for helping and reading.

Today was a good day

Today's wod was not something I wanted to go do. 15 min AMRAP of 3 mins double unders (and I always have to sub singles), 3 mins burpees (ahhhhh), 3 mins wall balls 10kg, 3 mins kettle bell swings 24kg, 3 mins box jumps 24 inch. Pretty much hell for me.

But all of a sudden, I got double unders. Not well. Single single double and all, but I did them in a wod and all. New skill made Scotty a pretty chuffed little boy.

Eggs and spinach for breakfast, lamb and vegetables for lunch, quiche and beetroot salad, and tomato salad and zucchini relish (home made) for dinner.

And i wore some shorts I have never fit in before for the wod. All in all, a good day.

Commitment

Ok, so i have been really bad at this. I have not written much, and the whole point of this was to help keep me accountable. So I am doing something about it. I am going to write here most days. What I feel, how I train, what I eat.

So today I got up for crossfit, was totally exhausted from Fran last night, and went back to bed. Poor I know. All I did today was a 45 min walk at lunch time!

I ate pretty clean today (and a special mention to my wife for steak and salad for dinner), but I had a cheat with some chips. I am pleased my cheats have been less often and less HUGE, but I still have a work on there. I am finding bread hard to beat as well, but I know I can do it.

I have a big goal this year, 20 kg lost. I will keep you posted!
