262.6
Today will mostly be a rest day. I have an appointment to get my hair cut at 6:15, so I'm not going to make it in to CF today. I may do some light exercises, pushups, air squats, etc., but nothing major. Although, I do have a thought in the back of my head to go to LAF tonight after my haircut and do some bench presses. I know I'm really weak in the bench press and right now, with my increased body weight, it would make sense to build that back up again. It'll help with pushups, burpees, and any of the overhead pressing movements.
On the weight, at least I know now how bad it's gotten. An achievable goal I believe is 255 by the end of September, and then reevaluate and see what I think I can do by the end of the year. To get even more granular, let's say 258-259 by the end of August. I know from past experience that the weight comes off slowly for me. Diet and Exercise combined seem to do the trick, but even there it comes off slowly so I need to make sure I'm not putting too much pressure on myself. If I can maintain the diet though, I should start feeling better and seeing the stomach pull in within a week or so. This is something else I know from past experience.
Food:
2 Eggs
Bacon
3 Sausages
Red Bull, sugarless
2 fish tacos w/o tortilla
Yogurt - honey, walnuts, blackberries
2 pieces of pastrami
2 string cheese sticks
No carbs so far!
Super important to be strict on the diet and keep away from the carbs. Right now, that's all I'm asking myself to do - stay away from the carbs! Do I want my shirts to keep bulging? Do I want to keep struggling to run at CrossFit every day? Do I want to keep fighting my own body? The answer to all of these questions is no.
One other thing: keeping a daily journal on here is critical. This is how I keep myself accountable and how I measure progress. It worked in the past and it shouldn't be any surprise that when I stopped journaling, that this is when I stopped making progress and started regressing.
Light Workout:
5 rounds
10 Step-Ups
10 dumbell presses (#15)
10 Air Squats
Not really a workout but just enough to break up the stiffness and move a little bit.
