some "tricks" I use is Protein powder in coffee and yogurt, egg whites in smoothies & oatmeal, lunch/dinner foods for breakfast

kodiak cakes (protein added pancake mix), hard boiled eggs, turkey sandwiches, toast & avocado,

This morning I had 4oz oven roasted deli turkey, bean sprouts, lettuce, and hummus on two slices of fiber one bread. Yummy and filling. Greek yogurt, meats, veggies, smoothies, etc. etc.

2 Girls Scout cookies, 5 granola bites, two shots espresso mixed with a premier protein shake. Ugh, it was a rough start to my day.

Random but delicious: Spicy Black Bean Burger (morningstar) with 1egg+1/4c egg beaters scrambled. Reduced sugar ketchup on top.

This Bag: http://shop.lululemon.com/products/clothes-accessories/bags/Urban-Warrior-Duffel?cc=22394&skuId=3653350&catId=bags And a subscription to Romwod. These two things have made me a happy crossfitter lately. Great topic!

If you do please let me know! Would love an accountability pal

I know Paleomg posts her Workout Recaps which include some Fit classes which are more tabata/HIIT style

If I was the owner, I would look at myself/coaches to critique my members form/depth/reps rather than let members police each other. Our box has a GREAT community but I've even heard people complain that some people might cut reps/not get full depth etc. I never engage in that conversation though, and I've never started…

Top 3: 1. Cleans (Squat and Power) 2. Deadlift 3. C2B pullups because they make me feel bad *kitten* Worst 3: 1. Strict Press 2. Running 3. Wall Balls

I've been using natural grip but I get so sweaty that the "super sticky" tape just slides right off. Also the natural grips get folded and scrunched if you are not super careful, which I'm generally not with workout stuff. So, I would also take recommendations!

6:10 RX on 5/11/15

So this went differently than I expected. I walked in prepared to do 65, but was really encouraged by my coach, who sees me daily, to do it RX with a 25 minute time cap. He told me to just focus on being there for 25 minutes, and that the point of this is that the weight is heavy, and 65 would just not be heavy for me…

Our box is doing Murph Monday, we are allowed to split it up, thankfully. I think I might try 5/10/15 for 20 rounds. I get VERY lazy with pullups, I don't like getting back on the bar once I've dropped. But 5 kipping pullups is a good number for me, so I'm thinking I can manage that better than shooting for 10 and spending…

I love parsnips too! I make a "hash" with shredded parsnips and carrots. Fry up 3 slices of bacon (more if you like) sautee the shredded parnsips and carrots (about 5-6 of each) in a bit of the reserved bacon fat. Add S&P and seasoning (whatever you like, but fennel is nice) and add back in the chopped up bacon once the…

I've always been in the camp that crossfit doesn't burn a "ton" of calories, like those above I assumend around 200 calories per WOD on average. That's why it struck me as so odd when I was out to dinner with my Crossfit pals after doing Grace. The group was guessing how many calories they burned and people were saying…

I usually sub sweet potato with pumpkin, but in this case that sounds even worse! Regular white potato is a great suggestion.

13:38RX. This one hit me hard afterwards, I could barely get up. I really effed up the set of nine. I broke 3 times, which is ridiculous. If I did it again, which I won't until its programmed, I would just hold on to that damn bar for the set of 9.

14 minutes of light wall balls and singles :|

Pistols and Double Unders? That would be tragic.

I used RX weight, did 2 C2B for a total score of 12RX, then did the rest of the wod chin over bar for the pullup portion. 70 reps total. Weight wasn't the issue for me here. I have a feeling that every WOD will have one higher skill movement that will force people to do scaled. This is my first open, so maybe it was always…

I'm thinking that 15.1 and 15.1a is going to be the easiest and most fun of the bunch!

Totally agree with ascrit. If I'm being very honest I don't think Crossfit is optimal for weight loss. I do however think its optimal for long term fat loss and muscle gain/retention. Those two are certainly not the same and it can be frustrating not seeing those scale numbers move. March 18th is my one year Crossfit…

I ended up not rx'ing as the coach was firm on a 12 minute time cap. I did 95 and it took me 12:58. I was getting the side eye from the coach all throughout that 58 seconds :p I started with 10 reps and ended with 10 because I was not going back to that rig! but during the middle it was 5's because I did not want to push…

Today's WOD is already messing with me and I don't WOD for another 7 hours! Strength: Complete 7 sets of the following: 1 Thruster + 1 Push Press + 1 Push Jerk + 1 Split Jerk For Time: 50 S2OH 155/105 *Every time you drop the bar, complete 7 Chest to Bar pull ups I think my strategy will be sets of 10, OH work is my goat.…

I ripped so badly, otherwise I would probably do it again, which I swore I wouldn't do! 95RX/130

I use a similar recipe as a base for all kinds of meatballs! finely minced Shitake/Portabella mushrooms tomato paste soy sauce/liquid aminos/coconut aminos/fish sauce shredded zuchinni shallots/onion/green onions use a ground beef/pork/chicken or mixture in place of turkey I always double the batch of whatever variation I…

This is so true. Pre-logging really helps me stay on track.

Here are my 5015 Month Goals: -Strict Pull Up -Any suggestions for a progression program? I can do 3 consecutive kipping pull ups and 3 pullups with the lightest band we have in the box (its red, not sure what the resistance is) -Double Unders - My PR is 8 consecutive. I'm going to have to really commit myself to…

I feel you on both of these. I have all the strength to go heavier on snatches but my form is crap. Snatches really get in my head. Double unders are so so so frustrating. Our coaches say the same about just keep trying, and I'm not "allowed" to do singles in a WOD anymore. Since I've stopped doing singles in a WOD I can…
