I’ve been sick this past week, so I’m still not doing the burpees very fast.  Wake up, do 10 burpees, hack up a lung, do 10 more, hack up another lung, etc… However, what I have been doing is slowing them down and hit all the check points, like doing an actual push up (down-up) rather than just dropping to the floor. If I’m gonna go slow, I might as well take advantage of it!

No days missed again! Total at the end of the week… 231 burpees.

I hear some of my other co-workers decided to join in and started catching up by doing burpees on the beach in Hawaii… I’m not sure if I believe them or not ;-P

WOD: CrossFit Total

1 Rep Max:

  • Back Squat
  • Shoulder Press
  • Deadlift
Add ’em up!

RESULTS: 

  • Back Squat: 315# PR
  • Shoulder Press: 125#
  • Deadlift: 345#
Total: 785#

COMMENTS:

I really wasn’t feeling the heavy lifting yesterday for some reason, which is unusual since I normally love it. In spite of that, I did mange to get a PR on the back squat. The other two, not so much. Both are lower than my previous PR from some time ago.

Primal Week 2

Ok, so not so good this week. Most days I was good and did actually prepare a food at home. However, I did also have a few off days (typically after Id had a few drinks). Last weekend I did cook up the egg muffins (aka mini crust-less quiches) and stuffed peppers. The quiches where awesome, the peppers… no so much. I never did get around to making the chicken salad last week which resulted in me eating out a bit still.

As I said, I did earlier… I did have few breakdowns: Went out with the co-workers for sushi sake on Thu (followed up by Taco Bell) . Then out on Sat with another friend (followed up by Taco Bell and a police chase next to me… read story). And then Sun was wings with accompanying not-so-primal sides and drink.

Here are a few  meals from this week:

No days missed this week and I did finally start doing them in the morning again. I always think its better to just get them out of the way.
