Nutrition-6/26 thru 6/28-"The Weekend"

Friday thru Sunday

I haven't posted a nutrition log since Thursday's and am now back in the habit of not posting on weekend's. Again, I eat well on weekends but I'm also back to splurging again and eating some bad food on weekends and don't take the time to track everything I eat. I will try to post on Mondays those items I consumed that were on the splurge list. This last weekend produced the following list:

-1 cup vanilla ice cream
-3 chocolate chip cookies
-app. 8 oz. bbq pulled pork w/bbq sauce
-app. 8 oz. bbq potato chips
-chocolate peanut butter cups
-3 beef and cheese burritos @ taco bell
-app. 2 oz. aged gouda
-1 oz. pepper jack cheese
-2 oz. salami
-big piece of ice cream cake
-bbq hamburger w/cheese, no bun
-app. 2 oz. colby cheese
-corn on the cob, no butter or salt
-too much scotch
-bowl of honey nut cherrios w/non-fat milk

This was a pretty extensive list. You never think it's that bad until you write it down. Yikes. But it's Monday and I'm back on it.

Fitness-6/26

Friday WOD-"Sushi Roll"

Today's wod was a fun one and even though I'm still dragging ass, I enjoyed it. "Sushi Roll" was as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:

-12 sdhp, 95#

-6 burpees

-12 pullups, chest-to-bar

-6 burpees

score=4+2

The chest-to-bars were tough today, couldn't get a rhythm going. I rocked the burpees fine but still spent a lot of time with my hands on my knees between exercises. Still having a tough time pushing myself hard these days. I'm thinking I'm a little burned out. Getting back on strict nutrition and disciplining my sleep/rest will help. My sleep lately has been garbage. I'm sleeping well but it's been bad in regards to time. I've only been averaging about 6 hours a night. I've got to get back to 8. We'll see how next week goes.

Fitness-6/24-wheel and run

Wednesday

Today, considering I was fasting, was shaping up to be a rest day. But I ended up doing some wheel work with my buddy Zach and then ended up having car issues and decided to run home. Probably only a mile, but I did have my backpack on weighing in at about 15 or 20#. On the wheel, we did three rounds, 15-12-9 of:

-knee tucks
-90 degree bridges
-pikes
-leg curls
-taps

We didn't time it, just did it. It was a good bit of core work. I would say the run took me about 8-10 minutes ball park. It was leisurely but enough to give me a good sweat going and get my heart rate up a bit. I'll be looking to get after it tomorrow.

Hiatus-6/20 thru 6/23

So, I haven't made a post since Satuday 6/20. Starting that night and on through to yesterday, I took a break. My Dad came up for the weekend for a Father's day celebration and I used it as an occasion to end my strict nutrition streak and spent the past three days eating whatever. I exercised once and it was rough. Amazing how much nutrition plays a part. The eating spree culminated at 9pm last night with a piece of cake in celebration of my good buddy Ben's 27th birthday. Thank God the bad eating spree is over. It was fun but my body hated me for every bite. Pizza, ice cream, cake, mexican food, beer; it's amazing how much your body dis-likes these foods. On to better living. I'm spending the majority of today fasting but will have a good meal this evening. Stay tuned for the first nutrition log back after the hiatus.
