amberino21 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Hi barb! Your meals sound pretty good in the protein and vegies (although day one lunch had no protein?), always aim for 2-3 cups of vegies and don't forget to add sufficient fat. For your workouts, could you have a couple of HB eggs as soon as you wake up? Don't forget you postWO too - lean protein and starchy carbs (vegies like sweet potato, pumpkin etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb E Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 Thanks Amberino21 for the tips! There actually was also some grilled chicken in that salad at lunch on day 1 I still don't quite get the food before the WOD when it's so early in the morning. So I'm munching on some groud beef, but I'll be in class in 45 minutes - so where will this food be sitting then and will I be getting any benefit from it? Is it just the signal that I'm going to be working really hard in a short while? Day 3 morning - feel puffy and a bit spacey CrossFit today includes testing 1 Rep Max for Front Squat - I'll be happy if I can just do one without fallin' on my butt!

amberino21 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 It is just a signal that you're about to do something I think postWO is more important, food for recovery and refuelling is vital! good luck with the squats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb E Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 Thanks! I found today that it's not a good idea for me to do that as that is the first time ever that I felt a bit edgy on the stomach! What I did do differently though is I ate sooner when I got home and I didn't count that as my breakfast which I normally do! Thanks! Oh and though I didn't fall on my butt on my Front Squat I did have to bail out sooner than I wanted to - dang shoulder mobility!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb E Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Day 3 - what does the timeline say? Hangover? Yeah. I thought I might miss this one since I really didn't eat as far off as many folks but I was a tad off track the last month or so...hence my decision to do this now. Ok today Post WOD - Ground Beef and Sweet Potatoes with a bit of spinach Breakfast - 2 eggs, spinach, bacon Lunch - Giant Salad - protein was beef Dinner - Was out and about so stopped and visited with friends - salad w/Chicken Breast and a bit of Vinaigrette CrossFit Today STRENGTH Front Squat 1RM I don't have a Front Squat and intended to simply make sure I could do something other than a Goblet Squat and not fall on my butt! As I added weight I realized I was going to get too tired getting the bar into position and so decided to use a rack after all. It wasn't long after that that I had to bail the bar at 60 pounds. Strength isn't the issue, mobility is, my frickin' shoulders!! Well my wobbly core didn't help - can I blame Whole30 for that? WOD 3 Rounds 10 min. cap Barbell Weight: 65/95 14 Forward Stepping Front Rack Lunges (Started as suitcase but then went to just air - Wobbly Core strikes again! ) 14 KB Swings 1.5/1p (20 pound Kettle Bell) 7 Good Mornings w/ KB in Goblet Position (20 pound Kettle Bell) 6:22 The hardest thing today?To not step on the scales - which are buried in the closet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb E Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Welcome Day 4 - You suck. Slept like crap last night and that after I bragged yesterday that I had already noticed I was sleeping better!! I don't know if I'm behind and still in hang over or if I jumped ahead into taking a nap but I could so just go back to bed. I wonder if I drank too much Kombucha yesterday? I did have several glasses - it was SO yummy on such a hot day! I'll try to limit that today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb E Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Breakfast was tasty! 2 eggs scrambled with Broc and Peppers on a bed of baby spinach and some Coconut Oil drizzled over YUM!!! I do hope the eggs are enough protein - usually I have meat in the morning too but no work out today and my body wasn't screaming for it so I didn't add any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberino21 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 A serve of eggs is as many as you can hold in your hand - that's probably more like 3-4. If you're adding meat on top, 2 would be ok, but a bit low otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb E Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Thanks!!That helps a lot! *Note to self* - Do not buy Guinea Hen eggs ever again, tasty but a zillion would fit in my hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb E Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Lunch was salad (same basic as earlier in the week since I make a giant tub up ahead of time) and the last of the ground beef. There wasn't lot of beef so I cut up one of the Jerky Sticks from Gourmet Grassfed and through that in. That was at about noon - it's 2:23 and I want to crawl in bed and take a nap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
