Okay.. my ego is in check, I started over this morning and I dropped my weights... I also super-setted each muscle group and only took 30 sec rest in between each set, 60sec in between each muscle group... I was in and out of the gym in 1 hour and 10 min this morning... FTW.
What isn't for the Win?? the difference two days of cheating on a diet makes...
The left is Flex Friday May 10, 2013... the right is this morning....
Same weight... but puffy! Stupid Gluten and Dairy!
SO... I'm back on track. I'm more motivated than ever, I had a good discussion this weekend with a very good looking man about potential and how unless you recognize your own potential and go after a goal... everyone else wanting it for you doesn't make a difference.
So this was breakfast, my snack, and my lunch all in one photo... started off the morning with 2 oz of chicken before my workout, after my workout a Protein-Cookie... more carbs than protein, but exactly what I needed after my workout.
Why do it like this? I don't eat my breakfast before I go to the gym at 4:00- why? Because it's 4:00 in the morning... I'd have to eat breakfast at 3:00am to digest it enough to function... not in my agenda. I also learned during my time on the Whole30 that if you fuel your body with protein before a workout, it will go into "work mode"... and will use the fat stored for your energy if you have been depriving it of the sugar it normally wants. I also know that after a workout I need complex carbs and protein to build muscle and repair.
SO... I didn't get a full night's sleep due to allergies and my drive back from Waco, but I did start the day off well- so I'm trying to stay on track!
The only thing I haven't struggled with in the last 2 weeks is the water!
My ego is the big problem... I do so well in the gym at Crossfit, I'm not used to the pansy weights I need to do in this program... I can deadlift 315lbs, I 5 repped 245# the other night in a 5min AMRAP... I did 60# this morning for 4 sets of 20... I can only do 5# on my lateral raises... I can only shoulder press 12.5#, when I can jerk 165# at crossfit... see my problem? The numbers, the movements... everything is SEPARATE and I want them to translate. IT DOESN'T. It's different.
That's my lesson, I am trying to live two different lives- which is exactly why Lloyd told me this would be hard, that I would really have to commit... but I'm ready.
September 21 is not that far off... and I have a summer of work ahead of me. 17 days of kids at work, 18 days of my work for this school year... STAY FOCUSED.
Here is my snack for the day, I ended up eating it like an hour late, and I have a wicked headache- not sure if it's allergies, dehydration, the garlic on the chicken I ate this morning... but I'm miserable currently. Definitely need a nap.
I finally took some meds, felt a little better... but my whole day went to crap... I didn't eat lunch during conference because 1) I didn't feel like it and 2) I had just eaten my snack an hr before... When I got home I did do a protein cookie and shake.
I then took a wonderful nap, hoping to be human again afterwards...it worked for a short while. I dropped by my student's baseball game, then headed to go squat (finished my workout from the morning, but didn't actually CF). My tastebuds did not feel like leftovers, so I called up Texas Roadhouse and got carry out.
Took a shower, chatted a bit :) and then headed to bed... well, I layed in bed and fell asleep with my phone in hand. It's so nice to be excited when my phone goes off.
Phase 1, Day 1 Complete.
