Challenge Updates and Blog Revision

Sorry, I’ve been busy lately with work, but I’m still keeping up with my progress. Managed to get down to 170# even after eating some fast food on weekends. At my CrossFit gym, we recently had our holiday party, so on the way home, I knew I had to get some Mickey D’s and get a pic for the site. Check this out:

McDonalds Nutrition Reward

I pretty much went all out on the Dollar Menu lol.

Okay, as for my current blog entries, I’m pretty much sticking to weekly summaries every Saturday. Why? It’s rather time consuming posting all of my meals and workouts here, and Saturday’s are perfect to relax and put up a blog entry.

And I also get to post pictures of my Carbicide Saturday meals :D

CrossFit has been awesome lately, as I’ve been setting some really nice records with my lifts, my running has become more consistent, and my endurance with bodyweight movements has been improving. For example, I just pulled off a 235# squat snatch the other day! Sooooo stoked about that.

While I don’t see myself competing in the CrossFit Open Sectionals again this year, I can definitely see myself improving more and more every single day. The reason I’m not competing is because of the weights. Last year, the sectionals involved a bunch of AMRAP workouts that anyone could do, even if that meant only getting a few rounds or reps in. As for my own benefit, a few weeks of doing workouts with heavy weights I can barely move won’t create the same response on my body as scaling down a normal class WOD.

You catch my drift?

I’d rather focus more on improving little by little than trying to shoot for the stars with the Open Sectionals right off the bat. Let’s be serious…I’m not getting into the top 50 to get into regionals…at least not for a while.

In other CrossFit news, did any of you check out the Reebok CrossFit commercial yesterday during the Giants/Packers game? Here’s the extended version of it in case you didn’t get to catch it:

Day 3: Feeling Good

I’m feeling awesome! This morning, I weighed in at 171.5 lbs, which is 6.5 lbs less than my original weight of 178 lbs on New Year’s day. w00t w00t! Today’s post is gonna be short since I have a bunch of work to get done by tonight, so I’ll leave you with a breakdown of…

Day 2: I Might Need CrossFit Gloves

Why Do I need CrossFit Gloves? Okay, I’ll admit that I’m someone who was never really a fan of something like CrossFit gloves as I felt it was better to simply take care of your hands with some best practices. Things like filing down calluses and using lotion on the hands after showering. Then again,…

Day 1 of the FitFastFoodie Challenge

So this is the beginning of my new life, right? Okay, so day 1 was pretty solid. I went along with the typical intermittent fasting protocol suggested by LeanGains.com. Here’s a breakdown of my day’s schedule: 7:00am: wake up (I generally wake up at 5:30am, but New Year’s Day messed with my sleep a bit)…
