TGIF…FINALLY!!! – 2/27/09

5:00 – Got to the gym this morning and decided to practice my thrusters.  My goal is to do the 65# bar for the competition, but we will see.  I only went up to 55# today.

5(45#)-5(45#)-5(50#)-5(50#)-5(50#)-5(50#)-5(55#)-5(55#)-5(55#)

I did 5 burpees in between each set.  I wasn't timing myself either, so I rested in between each exercise.  My average on the burpees is 15 seconds for 5.  Definitely not fast enough.  I'll practice more next week, and see if I'm comfortable with 65#.

6:30 – scarfed down grapes and strawberries.  i need to get a real breakfast if i want to run later.  i didn't really pack anything today.

7:15 – tall non-fat decaf cappuccino.  went to hobees and picked up a low-fat egg substitute omelet with ground turkey, spinach, and tomatoes.  i said no cheese, but i think they might have fucked up.  and can you believe i said no coffeecake!!!  **SIGH**

10 – munchin' on fruit lather and cuties

11:30 – ran with my coworker outside.  3.78 miles.  it felt soooooooooo good!  it's such a nice day outside.  i felt like i could go on forever!

12:30 – went to daphne's greek cafe and i got the chicken greek salad no feta.  eeeh, i wish i got the sandwich instead, but i resisted.  we also went to peets coffee, and i got another iced vanilla decaf non-fat latte.

5:00 – muchin' on fruit lather and grapes

7:00 – we had hot pot tonight.  it was yummy, and i didn't have any noodles.

Jan is doing this for lent, and even though I'm not catholic, I'm going to join her.  Let's see how my will power holds up. No refined carbs for 40 something days…..WOO HOO!  I will allow some sweet potatoes, and anything that is not made with flour(like mung beans noodles.)  Wish me luck ladies!!!

I added the extra SDHP in the end, because I finished way to earlier.  So I challenged myself a little.  When Jan and I were talking about this WOD monday, I was suppose to do the 65#.  LOL.  What a joke that was.  I tried it this morning, and I would not have gotten through the WOD.  I did 55# last time, but that was for max rep.  I need to work on elbows staying up and wrist back as far as possibly.  My chest keeps going forward too.  I have to work on getting the chest to straighten out.

6:00 – Mainsite WOD today.  1-1-1-1-1-1-1 Push Jerk.  My load was 65-70-75-80-85-90-95(F).  I'm sad I failed on the 95, but it was getting hard for me.  I tried a few times with the 95# too.  Oh well, next time!!  We did TABATA for squats, and I had a total of 98.

8:00 – 5 oz of jumbo shrimp with broccoli and asparagus.  dessert:  4 fruit lather pieces. (345 calories)

Stomach Flu GO AWAY!

This weekend Tran and I were in Seattle and I ate a lot on Friday/Saturday.  Let's see if I can name it all.  Friday, I had coffee(which included dairy), and sushi(which included carbs).  Saturday, I had multiple danishes from different bakeries, chocolate mousse, coffee, etc etc.  Here comes the bad part….I didn't really have a "real" meal all day Saturday, so I wanted something to hold me over until our dinner Saturday night.  We stopped by this diner called Wynm, and all they had was junk (denny's style).  The one thing I found was a grilled chicken sandwich w/ a side salad.  I got that, and tran ordered some fries.  I ate most of it, and some fries.  We got back to the hotel, and I took a nap.  I woke up, and I was not feeling good.  I could not digest the food that I ate, and it felt like I could smell the damn fries in my throat.  It was nasty.  I was uncomfortable the whole night, and had diaherra all day Sunday, Monday, and even till this morning.  I am home sick today, because I want to run to the toilet in the comfort of my own home!!!  What sucked was that I was on a food tour Sunday, and I couldn't eat any of the samples that they were handing out!!!  I was so pissed.  I felt like shit though.

I want this to go away so I can eat something and go to my crossfit classes tonight.

8:20 – an apple (81 calories)

10:30 – two egg whites(33 calories)

12:00 – i went to go eat pho with kimmy. i had half of the noodle with beef and beef balls.  hopefully this will stay in my stomach. (approx 287 calories)

3:00 – small bag of nuts and some fruit lather(yes, they have them at tj's again!!!…woo hoo!) (310 calories..WOW)

5:00 – protein shake (229 calories)

i hope all this food im eating stays down. 

6:00 – Huong ended up doing the filthy fifty, so Tran, Jaye, and I decided to do the WOD.  It was squat cleans 1-1-1-1-1-1-1.  I freakin' suck!  LOL.

55-65-75-85(F)-80-85(F)-85(F)-80(F)

When I started to fail, I noticed that my elbows were bent outwards instead of staying straight.  I need to practice this ALOT more before I can do anything heavier.  **SIGH**

7:00 – KB class.  We practiced snatch today, with some high pulls.  This was fun, and I'm getting blisters!

AAAH, I feel so much better after going to workout.  I know I can eat dinner w/o having it bother me all night now.  WOO HOO!  I heart working out!

8:15 – 4oz steak with broccoli and asparagus.  dessert: fruit lather!!! (417 calories)

APPROX TOTAL CALORIES CONSUMED: 1357
