Aaron is placed on the DL!

So Aaron never did make it back to the gym. He felt okay on Friday but I guess on Saturday he was really sore and had to roll out of bed. He said he had a really hard time walking to the bathroom. That made me laugh. He said maybe when he felt better he might come back and get in another workout. I said that's cool and let him know to check 0ut the CrossFit site and see if there are gyms up there that he might want to check out. I said that I would even go up there with him if he wanted.

As for eating....I am dialed in during the week. When I can pack my lunch, eat what i have at the house, and snack on the "packages" that i have put together. When I put myself in situations where other food is available to me that is not Zone friendly is when I fall off target. This usually happens on the weekend when I go to concert in the park, or have drinks with friends. The choices that I make during this time are not horrible for me but they are just not what i should be eating. Like I'll have a handful of trailmix with cherries and chocolate. I'm just talking about a handful but the number of nuts, dried fruit and chocolate that comes in that handful puts me over the top in terms of carbs and fat. And we're talking about just a handful.

The workout at the gym on Friday was miserable. It was called "WTF." This one was a tough one. AMRAP in 20 min of 15 deadlifts, 10 back squats and 5 overhead squats. Since it was Friday and I pushed myself all week I decided to stick with it and went with 75#. Man it was tough. I really felt it in my lower back and abs during the squats and then my shoulders were screaming on the overheads. I got 8 rounds and a few deadlifts. On Saturday Mike M. ran the course and we did a king of low key not too intense 3 rounds of 10 burpees, 15 wall balls, 20 box jumps, 25 sit-ups and a farmers carry down and back. I did 12# wall ball, 24 inch box and 35# farmers carry. Time was something like 18:27. It was a good one and I felt pretty strong.

Then I went and watched the Beavs get crushed by Penn State. UGLY. I spent more time sitting in the yard getting sun then watching the game because I just couldn't take it. Oh the Beavs continue to break my heart!
