Mon, Oct 4

Yikes, definitely feeling sleep deprived today. We got Smallville from Netflix and spent way too much time last night trying to catch up. I didn't get to bed until after 11pm, and wow did 5am come around quick!! Between 7 and 8hrs of sleep a night is optimal for me. Anything less & I definitely drag.

FOOD

BF = 2 fried eggs, couple handfuls of grapes, & couple handfuls of cocoa-dusted almonds, viactiv chewable

Snack = clementine

Lunch =  chicken fajitas (minus cheese & tortillas) & strawberries

Snack = clementine

Dinner = chopped brisket, beans, fruit/spinach smoothie, small piece of bday cake (belated celebration)

** I have noted the desire for small snacks between meals. A clementine or two usually does the trick. In the past I'd say I would tend to eat more in a single setting but now I've noticed more that I don't eat as much during a meal and then in another hour or two have the desire to have a tide-me-over snack. Dunno if that's a good thing or what, but since consensus seems to think multiple feedings throughout the day are good, I'll go with that. Sounds good to me. Thumbs up.  Otherwise, somebody please correct me...

WOD

3x CFWU
Strength:  DL -- 5x75% max (140#), 3x 85% max (159#), 1+x95% max (178#)    I did max 3x
4 rnds:
  20 wall balls, 14#
  100' walking lunges
  3x rope climbs

Completed 14:28 RX.

I think I got rope burn on my leg too. I do like me some rope climbs, but the last 3 were really tough! I can usually get up the rope in 3 pulls, but those last two took me 3.5 pulls (ok, probably more like 4 pulls). AND... this time it wasn't the wall balls that killed me. I'd have to say those darn lunges were making my legs burn. Buns of steel!!
