Friday the 13th Update

Food
Yesterday, I finished my 2nd week on the Zone. It was a mixed bag. Towards the beginning of the week, my weight dropped steadily from 135 on Thursday to 132.4 on Monday. I was pumped! Sadly, I added 0.4 lbs just about each day after that. This morning, I weighed in at 134.4 - so a loss of 0.6lbs for the week.

In retrospect, I had a few days (Tuesday/Wednesday) where my eating was not perfect. Not terrible, just not perfect. I ran out of food and that is never good. While I didn't binge, I probably ended up adding 1-2 blocks of food on those days. And I skipped my Thursday WOD.

I've replenished my food stores and will be cooking today so I can have cooked food for the next few days. And though I don't have any crazy cravings, I may schedule a cheat food some day soon.

Training
I've decided to postpone hardcore tri training until May. With school, work and family, I just don't have time to get the 2-a-days in like I need. Making this decision has taken a lot of the (self-imposed) pressure off.

Today, I did the deadlift workout at the box: 6-4-3-1-1-1. I really prefer the 5 x 1RM, but the point of Crossfit is varied training. I pulled 175-185-185-195-205-215. My PR is 235lbs. It would have been nice to beat that today, but with the higher reps in the beginning, I just didn't have it in me. Surprisingly, my hands tore on the 215s. I got the weight off the ground and to my knees twice but ended up putting it down early b/c of the grip - argh! But I really wanted to get the rep since I knew I could lift it, but my hands paid the price. A pair of gloves may be in my future.

Tomorrow is a rest day! The plan is to hit the group ride on Sunday morning and then Crossfit in the afternoon.

Goals for this week:
1. Stay consistent on the Zone
2. Increase the number of workouts - get in a swim and bike
3. Get at least one workout on scheduled days
