Potpourri for $200, Alex

So I've meant to post several times in the last few days, but am finally settling down to actually check in. What would have been a few posts is now going to be one, all-over-the-map catch-all. That means bullets!

• Zone - The diet has been going well. I'm really settling in and am finding that planning out my food and taking it with me is making life soooo much easier. On my busiest days, I workout, go to work and then go to class within a 6am-9pm timespan. Not having to worry about food is making me more productive and happier. I've only had a few instances of feeling cranky about the (lack of) food. They are fleeting moment, thankfully!
• Weight - In my first week on the zone, I lost 2.2 lbs, going from 137.2 to 135lbs. Considering that I didn't exercise for 3-4 of those days, I'm psyched! That's a 5 pound loss from January 24. Prior to adjusting the diet, my weight was steady at 140-141 for months.
• Training - On Thursday, I got in a track workout (intervals) and then went to Crossfit a few hours later. Through it all, I felt great and my workouts were right on target. On Friday, I went snowboarding at Liberty. Despite not having been on a snowboard in about 3 years, I was able to pickup where I left off. The months of Crossfit must be working b/c I wasn't sore at all and had no trouble riding all day. The next day, I felt great.

So all in all, things are going well. I just came back from the bike shop ride, but it deserves its own post. Coming soon. . .
