5:30 AM
10 Cleans - 115# - Rx was 135#
20 pushups hands off the floor.
time: 22 something.
The cleans felt a little heavy. Mostly in my back and wrists after I got going some. I did the first 5 no problem then started to fatigue a little. It was fun completing the explosive movements again. They make a person feel powerful.
I've been eating fairly clean. I missed on Saturday and Monday. I didn't have many options so I took what I had available.
My last weigh in was 190# which is already down about 5# from my previous weight.

Back at CrossFit
I'm back at CrossFit now. I will start going 3x per week and hopefully move up to 4-5x per week in by November assuming I feel good. Paleo is also going to be a huge focus. I'm tired of feeling like crap and need to get back into shape. I've never felt so good as when I go paleo. In addition to that I will be posting my food intake and crossfit workouts here.
I'd like to document my weight and measurements for a while too. I have let myself go a little and am sure I'm around 195#. My goal is to either be ripped at 195# or ripped at 185# by February 27, 2012. It will happen. I'm heading to Mexico and need to be in top performance mode by then.
Todays WOD:
10-19-2011 – Noon workout
1 pullup
2 deadlifts (bodyweight 185#)
3 situps
2 pullup
3 deadlift
4 situps
Increase reps each round.
AMRAP in 18 minutes
10 rounds +12 reps
Food intake
1.5 cups stew/soup... potato, stew meat, carrots, onion. (need to drop the potato)

Crossfit Total
We did crossfit total today. I felt good but the strength just wasn't there. I need to do some more heavy lifting. I've been going about 3 days a week but either not doing or missing the lifting days. My press stayed the same, squat went up by about 40 pounds and deadlift has gone down. I felt some stress in my lower back when performing the dead.
I'll get my lifts back up there. I need to do more lifting. That's simple enough.
My body weight has gone up as well. I'm hovering right around 197. I don't feel like that is too much but mentally I wish I was much lighter. At minimum 10 pounds.

Day 3
I traveled most of the day yesterday. I did pretty well.
Food
----------------
3 - 1/4lb hamburger patties
2 - brats
some sunflower seeds
no workout.
I didn't eat any supper. So I could say I'm on a 15 hour fast.
Saturday I did have some ice cream and beer to celebrate the NCAA final four.

Crossfit Games WOD 1
Crossfit -
I participated in the first workout of the crossfit games open this last weekend. The WOD was 30 double unders and 75 pound power snatch AMRAP in 10 minutes. Based on what most were doing at my gym I was expecting 4 rounds. I ended up with 5 rounds and 16 double unders. This placed me right in the middle of the pack in my region. I'm not expecting much except improving fitness.
Today, one day after my workout, my back and shoulders are very sore.
Paleo -
Smoked an 8 pound pork loin, small ham and round steak. I'm excited to eat it. It should provide my food for the rest of the week. Tomorrow I'm going to weigh myself and starting April 1, my wife and I are doing a 30 day paleo challenge. At the end, we can book a trip to anywhere we want to go. I'm excited.
