In honor of Memorial Day, I ate and drank a lot. I wasn't terrible in the eating department but I had a bunch of beers and they were good. Today is a new day and a good WOD and I plan to do two today so time to get back in the driver seat. I am pretty tired, could it be from not eating healthy? I did get the sleep I usually need. There are a lot of times that I feel like my body depends on me eating healthy and drinking a lot of water. I didn't do any of that this weekend and I am tired and thirsty. I think I ate veggies once all weekend. Could be a problem for me.
Good note today from Coach Chris about eating and eating right. I gotta lay off the fats and nuts a little and stick to protein and veggies. I am going to shoot for leafy veggies and ones with high water content. I know what to do, just gotta do it.
Time to get back on track.

Once, Twice, Three Times a Loser
The only consistent thing about me right now is I am inconsistent. Brutal. My mind has been racing over a million things and I am not focusing in on whats important, whats my priority? My wife has diagnosed me with adult ADHD, she is pretty serious about that, and funny enough she is going to start giving me strategies to deal with it. Since she is very well educated in the field - masters and all, I guess I need to start listening.
So what does it have to do with this blog, everything. Its my third attempt at keeping myself honest. I stop - start, stop - start, and so on. And by blog I also mean diet. My diet right now, truth be told, is better than it has been in 15 years. Seriously. I cheat here and there but it is nothing like it used to be. I might guess I was consuming 4-5k calories sometimes and that was multiple times per week. I am down 30lbs since October. Its a good weight loss but I want to lose more. I want to lose another 20 lbs. My goal is to lose 50lbs between 10/10 and 10/11. I started at about 267 lbs. Pants were so tight they were uncomfortable. Its a terrible feelings. I want to be more consistent in my diet and exercise, small goals.
Goal: lose 20 lbs
Goal: Hit the box 4 times per week min, including 2 2 adays
Goal: Be more Paleo 6 days a week
Breakfast
4 egg whites and 3 slices of turkey bacon
Snack

Wednesday May 3rd - Back in the saddle
Woke up today on the wrong side of the bed and probably shouldn't have checked the site for the WOD. My quads are still on fire and i am not looking forward to OHS and burpees. Cold is finally all but gone. I still have a cough and during the WOD coughed a lot, especially the rowing, but I managed to get through it.
WOD
3k Row
Jeremy
I have a strategy that I try and follow when I row. I want to keep my split pace between 1:45-1:50. I did the first 1000 meters in there and started to feel it. Watching 3,000 tick down is pretty painful. My mind is my own worst enemy. I slipped into the 2's briefly and then settled back in between 1:50-2:00. I finished at 11:38 and my chest was heaving and on fire. Walked around a lot and thought about bailing on Jeremy but stuck it out. Grabbed a bar and did a OHS at 95lbs and said it ain't happening today. Coach Jay told me to warm up with the 65lb bar and see how I felt. I cranked 5 out pretty quickly and he said yeah you're doing 95. Started out good, tailed again and finished strong. I just gotta keep moving. I find myself chunking the reps into digestible bits to take breaks. Why the hell do I do that?? Gotta muscle through the mind
Breakfast
Skipped - wasnt hungry at all
Snack
Skipped
Lunch
grilled chicken spinach salad with beet and olives
Snack
Walnuts
Dinner
Turkey chili. The wife makes a mean turkey chiili and it is paleo :D
I have also decided Paleo or not, I'm not drinking milk if I don't have to and my kids are getting off of it too. I buy organic but its still milk. I love coconut milk. Its great. They don't even drink that much milk anymore.
Now I am on the hunt for a paleo recipe for ice cream with a coconut milk base, I know I saw it somewhere.

Monday May 2, 2011 - Still outta gas
Still not 100% in the health department but I wanted to work out anyway. I have been sick for 10 weeks. 10 weeks is an effen long time. It plays on your psych pretty hard being sick that long. Not sure how people live with disease handle it. Gotta give em credit. Not sure if working out is smart or not but due to vacation and work I haven't made it into the box enough. I feel like I have lost a lot of the gains that I have made and that drives me to get them back and then some. Each time I take two steps forward I take one back. Its frustrating. Soon as I am doing well I have to travel or I get sick. And today it all showed.
WOD
run 1 mile
-then-
row 1000m
50 45lb thrusters
30 pullups
I was out of gas after the mile, I ran a good clip for me, should have jogged it. After the rest I started the WOD and was gassed after the row. Again should have slowed a bit. Started getting all kinds of stuff coming out of my chest. I had to row with 1 hand at one point because of the coughing. Tasted like stale smoke, makes me never want to take a puff again. Thrusters hurt and the pullups minus any bands resulted me in stringing together 3 at a time. Most I did in a clip was 7. Disappointing. I know I can do much better. 17:08 pathetic...........
Paleo, paleo, paleo - I gotta eat more leafy greens. Need to find some additional ideas other than spinach and broccoli. Gets boring too quickly. Back to the book for ideas.
Breakfast
Steak and egg whites
Snack
Protein shake with almond milk
Lunch
Spinach Salad
Steak
Snack
Walnuts
Dinner
Strip Steak and a big mound of broccoli
Fell asleep on the couch at about 9:15 woke up at 10:30 and did the dumbest thing possible, ate 7 frozen m&m's. Why did I need those m&m's? Try again tomorrow.
