THIS TIME - Do it right...
Look closely at the amount of "other food" I consume. Make sure my dinner plate isn't loaded high and definitely no seconds
Tonight I'm organising hamburgers - So I'll make healthy burger meat patties, and I'll have that with salad and some sweet potatoes - yum
Todays WOD - was a killer...
"Roy" (I think) 5 RFT
- 15 Deadlifts
- 20 Box Jumps 24"
- 25 Pull Ups
I did the DL with 70kg (Rx was 100/70)
Rx'd the rest
Time - 31min !!! Shit Maree did it in 21.?? and she had 70kg
I did all the pull ups in sets of 5 - these slowed me down the most - the first round was hard before I found my second wind
Weight 89.8 - LETS GO.... low 88's is the target - but still have energy

This morning
WOD "Michael" 3 RFT
- 800m run

For this WOD I should have had running shoes instead of the nanos

Rest day
Quads are needing a rest. I could do a half-arsed WOD after warming the quads up (like yesterday) however that's not going to help.
Went to the TCI training session last night to watch and support the other 2 masters who are going to The Mount
I also want to go skiing tomorrow so need my quads firing properly for that
Weight this morning - 90.2 not sure what's going on - not eating that much but weight not coming off. Didin't drink much water yesterday and I know that isn't helpful

Still feel smashed but did the WOD anyway
Quads feel shredded...
WOD: "Elizabeth" 21 - 15 - 9 (12min cut)
- Full squat cleans (Rx60/43) um I did it with 40kg
- Ring Dips (use the lightest band - too many to get through for the cutoff)
Time 11.44
Weight - not telling as scumbag scales added 2.3kg from yesterday - clearly wrong

That smashed me!!!
So I decided to go to the Crossfit classes this week, instead of those called "Boot Camp". That meant going to the 7.00am class this morning
The workout was similar to the Bootcamp one just harder!!!
WOD 35min cut
- 100 Pull Ups
- 100 KB Swings ( I did 80)
- 100 DU's (I did 80)
- 100 OH Squats (I did 80 with 35kg)
Time 34.48 !! and I was wiped out
The Pull Ups took over 12 mins - If I could have done those in under 10 then doing all 100 reps each would have been possible
My forearms were smoked after KB swings which made flicking the rope around quick tricky and slow(lots of stops)
Weight this morning 89.4 Good
