Still struggling to post and journal on the weekends. Everything was kosher with the exception of some stuffed french toast on Sunday morning. Long metcon wod on Sunday evening was really rough for me, but I was able to do all the burpees full out without any shoulder pain.
Added some running on Friday. A running friend told me that doing one week of 1min run/1min walk followed by the next week of running 2min/1min walk... so on until you don't need to walk is a good way to get into a strong running routine. We'll see how that works out
WOD:
3 set max effort ring dips: I used green band for bar dips since the others felt too easy during wods lately and I figured that would be more of a challenge than ring holds that last 2 seconds. 8,7,5
Metcon:
7:39
subbed 8 plank pushups for hspu
Also tried smaller meals throughout:
Meal 1 (8am):
4oz salmon
walnuts
Meal 2 (11am):
2oz salmon
almond butter
All my veggies went bad at work, so I was stuck in the carb dept.
Meal 3 (2pm- last chance to eat before xfit or I'll puke everywhere):
4 oz roast beef
apple
almond butter
Meal 4 (8pm):
4oz buffalo
2c brussel sprouts sauteed in olive oil with pine nuts
Eating more frequently has helped with mid afternoon hunger, but I need to find a better way to schedule and balance. I didn't eat nearly enough today (particularly protein) and, as it's 9:30pm right now and I ate at 8pm, I can't really stay up late just to eat. So here's the dilemma: Do I eat more scattered across 4 meals instead of 6, or do I eat 6 meals closer together than 3 hours?

I would try just planning meals every 3-4 hours, no matter what time of day that turns out to be. You might have to tweak that closer to WOD time.
ReplyDeleteI'll try. Last time I ate around 3:00 before wodding up, I felt nauseous and sloshy about halfway through. Maybe with the strength training before a short metcon, it'll be easier?
