Chaos: That's where the fun is

[Troy Archie]

Diet Revamp
I need to follow some type of diet plan so I can not neccearilly see what I take in and controll that but to stop these lapses and crashes I've been having and have always had in the past. I'm not following the zone, I just think in zone/block format because it's handy.

16 protein 4 4 4 4
60 fat 20 20 20 -
9 carbs 1 1 1 6
All 1 carb meals consist of fibrous leafy veggies that I pretty much eyeball. The 6 carb meal is my post workout meal with carb sources coming from fibrous veggies, some stary veggies and some fruit. Amounts of starches and fruits depend on workout intensity.

*"Helen"
3 Rounds for time of:
Row 500m
21 DB Swings, 40lbs
12 Pull-ups
Time 12:44
More time and less weight than on 09/03/07 but more pain, way more pain. Rowing was a lot harder than running plus I don't think the runs were 400m last time, stupid treamill. I did the swings "Santa Cruz" style this time around too. Pull-ups gave me some problems, my hands have been taking a beating as of late and the climbing hasn't helped.
-BP 3x5-125

-Push Jerk 95-2/95-2/95-2/105-2 with a thumbed grip, much better but still not 100% on form and movement. Elbows out. Shoulder inflexibility?
-Squat Clean 7x2-120
-3R 3 STC/Ring Holds approx. 30sec/Meb ball twists
-diet good. Dinner at friends

Total Rounds 19 + 5 pull
Solid effort. 2 rounds better than on 25/02/07. Push-ups really broken up.
-Evil Whell Fun
-W Dips 2x5-25
-To the plan with a bit more. Seeing great results but need to tweak up the fat a bit.

My diet revamp has been going great. I've been seeing great results in the last week alone. No binges or munch out sessions and pretty much no nibbling or pecking between meals. My bf% has dropped a bit and I feel I'm at a good weight right now and anything lower would only be negative. I've been going hard and have been feeling a bit peckish the last couple days so I'm upping the fat x4 and will go from there.

What have your carb sources been? Veggies and fruit?

For the 1 carb meals I pretty much stick to spinich, brocolli, red/white cabbage, lettuce, cauliflower, mushrooms, zucchini, celery... breakfast is the exception though where I have a salsa with tomatos.

The 6 carb meal is my post W/O meal and I stick with the veggies as mentioned above but also have some yams and squash, amounts varying on the intensity and duration of the w/o.

Other veggies are thrown in there like green/red peppers, onions, tomatoes but what's above is pretty much my staples.

This is so haphazardous to do without a spot, bumper plates or pillars. I just don't have the confidence to go as heavy as I know I can. I have more of a workout racking and unracking the weight.

Started school this week, an added stresser to my pretty much care-free life I've been living the past 1.5 years. Missed a day because of it but made up for it and went 4 straight and a bit beat because of it. Also Started doing some intermediate fasting with interesting results. I'll have to tinker around with this a little more.

Wall Ball Shots, 20lbs
Pull-ups
Time 13:34
Got to use my newly made wall ball for the first time. 20lbs is a lot more than 10lbs. It calls for a 20' target but I was hitting approx a 10' target as my ball's got little bounce back, I should maybe make another one, if I had time...

A day behing on this one, just started school and I was everywhere at once. Felt tired and a bit stressed so I came home, had a nap and called it a WO. A bit heavier on the PC this time around a bit faster than on 15/02/07.

-Fasted for about 23 hours today, which is the reason for the major weight loss. 5lbs in one day, damn. All and all I felt alert, focused and put up a decent total on the WOD. The only bad thing I could say so far is that I felt really thin and stretched. I even looked thinner and almost anorexic. Went home and fed really well getting all my food in a 3h window. Going to have to play with this IF'n stuff a bit more.

Did this one on an empty stomach doing a bit of a mini fast (13h). Felt strong and fast, no extra work though, body bit hurt from 4 hard WOD's straight. I was 21:15 w/ 85lbs OHS way back on 28/06/05. Two years, shit.
