I have been meaning to get back on the blog, but kept putting it off! Most people know that I have been attending the WODs religiously (5X per week), and I have been zoning… but, I have not been logging it. Hopefully, that is going to change!
The scale doesn’t seem to go down in a major way, but I definitely am leaning out… went down a pants size, and have been tossing out the fat pants… my belts are on the verge of being too big. But, what i am really pleased with is my performance… my running has been steadily improving… doing real pushups… squats are going good… LIMFAC is still shoulder flexibility… but it does seem to be coming together…
The WOD was 3X5 Front Squats… Set one was 95 pounds… i stopped after 3, because I thought the bar was going to break my fingers… I completed the set though. Second set was 115… again, failed after three… then finished it… but all squats were full ROM… third set… 95… but I popped them all, no problem, full ROM… Bottom line: definitely improved my form… so although the weight was not there, the form was in the end.
Mini METCON WOD was 50 Burpees for time… it was 4:50 something… not bad! My goal was to be under 6, and was hoping to be at around 5 Mins… so 4:50 was awesome!
OK, for food… I have added Steel Cut Oats thanks to discussions with Jared McQueen… it definitely helps me get enough Carbs… I have also been eating these “think thin” bars (http://cfscceat.blogspot.com/2009/04/think-thin.html) — Gluten Free and Sugar Free — but a little more processed than I probably should be eating. My preferred snack has been cheese, apples or berries, and almonds… anyway, here is my food log:
love me some steel cut oats – load them up with blueberries!

yum, that sounds delicious…
not to be a carb nazi, but the tsatziki has none?

Guilty as charged!
I rechecked the label… one gram of carbs per TBSP… but, its so good!
