Today, my friends, is Day 46 of the HCG diet, day 21 of phase 3, the primal hypothalamus-resetting stage. Wahoo!
What will you eat tomorrow, Lyssa?
I don’t know, anonymous blog reader asking the question. I am trying to decide. What do I miss this most?
I honestly don’t miss much. I miss wine the most. Wine with dinner, wine out with friends, wine with my favorite shows. Scotch too perhaps, a nice little glass on the rocks. It’s snowing like crazy in Aspen today, so a little spiked hot cocoa would be nice. But I DON’T miss pizza (since I’ve been making the healthy version) or pasta or even really bread. Though some tomato basil soup with bread dipped in it would be nice.
My number one thing I don’t miss? SUGAR. Can you believe it?! I certainly can’t. Which isn’t to say I won’t have chocolate tomorrow. But it IS nice not to miss it. I don’t really want to mess with that.
More thoughts on “THE END” tomorrow, but I am super excited about how I feel right now. Clean eating FTW!
Now I am going to rant a little. But just a little. I just did a workout from a trainer who calls this particular workout the Sucker Punch workout, or the female version of the 300 workout (this is related to Vanessa Hudgens crossfitting, because she and the other Sucker Punchers trained at the same gym as the 300 workout). Point number one: I have done the 300 workout in under 20 minutes. So there doesn’t really need to be a “female” version.
That aside, I decided to try it anyway because it looked sort of fun. 5 sets of things: 135-155-175 deadlift (I went 145-165-185), rest, 3 strict chinups (really? that’s it?), rest, 5 min amrap 1-armed kb swings (he suggests 26# or 36# for double “points”, I used 40#), rest, 5 min amrap goblet squats, 5 min one of three things, mine was 20 pushups no breaking between pushups (rest is plank). You can check it out here (pdf).
It was too easy. I mean, it was fun, and it’s sort of challenging to do the same exercise for a full five minutes, but it’s also just repetitive. I feel fine, but not challenged. So that’s the rant: why does the “girl” workout have to be easy? Now back to my regular CrossFit programming.
