I’ve been at the 500-calorie part for a full week now. It’s still weird, but getting used to it. It’s hard when my friends come into today and we’re talking about dinner and I feel like I’m holding everyone back from going out to eat and going our drinking. It’s hard when I’m walking through…

HCG Diet Day 7
Technically, this is the 5th day of the diet part of the HCG Diet. The first 2 are loading, and the more I don’t eat now the more I wish I had eaten then … an oreo brownie? a BeauJo’s veggie pizza? Chocolove chocolate bars are on sale? Man I could have eaten all that…
Here’s My Ankle
Because I love injury photos … Bruises look so nice a few days after whatever happened, huh? I’m really mobile on the ankle, went for an hour and a half walk yesterday and felt great. Woke up sore this morning in the ankle, but nothing a little MSM and ibuprofen can’t handle. Laying off the…

Staring Up the Stairs
Man I miss training in a group.The workout I made up for myself today would have been a really fun one if I had been with my training partners. Instead, it was me and Nali, and although she’s close to human, it’s just not the same. I was even wearing my CC shirt … sigh.…
CrossFit Haters are Funny
One of my favorite things about CrossFit is that it doesn’t take itself too seriously … I mean, there are PEOPLE that take it too seriously, but by and large, even they know who they are. Funny, sarcastic post from Moynihan Institute via Conditioning Research … he rips on everything from Vibrams to abs to:…
Biking + volleyball
Holy cow I never knew biking was so hard. I mean, I used to ride my bike for hours on end as a kid, we’d ride from my house to my best friend’s house to the convenience store for snacks to the library to somewhere to create trouble … but I didn’t wear padded bike…
