"Food Glorious Food, What wouldn''t I give for....that extra bit more...that's all that I live for...one moment of knowing that full up feeling,....I love musicals...I love singing...I love singing along in the car to cheesy songs...one great thing about working out at White Mountain Crossfit is the music blasting when we are weight training and then again when we begin the WOD...I can't always sing along as some of the music is indecipherable but the music is extremely helpful...when I can sing along I most certainly do....I sing when I run and when I clean...lalalalalaaaaaaa....
So...the food...after I made my big THIRD LAP sh*t's gonna get real proclamation a blog or two ago I have totally and completely fallen deeply into the grab and go mode...my diet is almost identical day to day...I am out of protein powder and although I am trying to get more meat etc into my diet I know I need this supplement....so...I am not going to wax poetic about every morsel...I ate a bunch of eggs...lots of meat and cheese and nuts and made a protein shake with everything but the powder... I had a typically crazy busy day and had to make it on hastily prepared little meals all day comprised of acceptable ingredients....this is boooorrrriiinnngggg.....also....negative and regretful self reflection... so last week....(I will now only write these posts after I have taken my medication!!!)
So the gym...the loud music....I had a big PR today...(personal record...) We were doing "jerk work" (if that isn't a song title I don't know what is!). We were practicing the split jerk...but regardless of foot placement we had to whip that sucker over our heads by getting under it and jumping into a very cool (in theory) lunge position and then lock our arms and stand there all huge like and make it real...I want to RX the workout Grace at the end of the month so 95 pounds is the magic number for me...I have been getting close...and today....yay me!!! I did 2 reps at 95 pounds!!! I failed on my first attempt and was encouraged (in a very typical Jon Farwell "if you fail in the front of the lift there will be demerits" sort of way) to try again....so I got under that bad boy and stood that sucker up!!! I am still pretty pumped up about it...I am starting to really get into the weight training now...which is weird because I am really a runner....I think the meat I am eating is transforming my brain...if I was eating pasta I would be thinking about 5K races and repeat 400's on the track...but my daily animal protein intake is brainwashing me I just know it...Moooo....bring on the beef....."Meat glorious meat..what wouldn't I give for...."
