If anyone is interested, I have a pair of Rebook Nano 2.0 for sale for $40. They are a men’s size 6.5 but would fit a women size 8. Brown Camo – I have worn them maybe 3 or 4 times. Bought them on trip out of town when I forgot my sneakers and they are a little too small for me. Let me know if anyone wants pics!
Remember to post your WOD and Nutrition Scores to comments, today. Nutrition scores will range from 1-3. You get 1 point for working out (anywhere!), 1 point for eating quality foods (no sugar, gluten, alcohol, or processed foods) and 1 point for measuring your intake. The 6am class has 1 point toward today!
Scott W asked how many blocks a double stuffed oreo is… 1 cookie is 2.5 blocks of fat and 1 block of carbs.
I figured since it is the first day, I’d embarass myself a little. This is a video I made a couple years back before a No Bread Challenge – Since we are also trying not to really eat too many simple carbs like bread I thought it might be fun to share. I keep wanting to make a another one – Crossfit problems… someday soon maybe 😉
So it’s a 3 point day for me. I had some questions about dinner last night because Sara and I had made chicken wings here at home. I thought we may have gone over on protein blocks, but it appears we were dead on.
Happy Zone Day, everyone! I just ate breakfast and now I feel pretty full. Like, a bit too full. The mountain of vegetables waiting for me at lunch seems pretty daunting. This is going to be FUN!
If you haven’t read my Zone blog yet, hop on over there. http://www.saraczone.blogspot.com. I really want it to be a place where we can all read and comment (Please comment! I love comments!) and laugh at this whole process a bit. If you want me to post anything, I will gladly do so. Just e-mail it to me at scolket [at] gmail.com.
Okay, I’m inspired by Sara C. I’m blogging my month too. It probably won’t be as funny as hers, and the photos won’t be as good, but that’s okay because I’m not a professional photographer. But I will tag the crap out of my posts because that’s how librarians roll.
6:12 rx.
Only 2 points for the challenge. So now Mel tells me I have to eat my blocks of protein, carb and fat TOGETHER! I was just picking at my allotment all day.
3 points for me today — back in the zone after vacation and loving it! did the CFNE ‘open test’ today and had an 8 rep PR over july — not bad for the first day back!
8:15. Did the KBs Rx, but used the red band for the dips.
And… 3 points for the day. However… this is a ridiculous amount of food. I think this is going to deteriorate into green drinks in the vitamix. Lots of spinach, kale, a little banana and strawberry, a bit of coconut oil, and a scoop of casin protein. Voila… balanced. I’m not quite to drinking meals yet, as it’s only day one of “eat till you burst,” but I see it coming on pretty fast.
Maybe try changing it up to more nutrient dense carbs like sweet potatoes, squash or rice, preferably brown, for at least one of your meals.. That will help cut back on the volume of food being consumed and your are still within the quantity and quality requirements without having to result to a liquid diet
4 something minutes
21-15-11 (cuz me not smart) for kb and dips

3 Points so far…this is hard.

Love the blog. Funny, inspiring, motivations and a bunch of great ideas I’m gonna aboslutely steal!
I think it’s a bit ironic that the URL to your blog almost looks like it spells “sarcasm” when you first take a glance at it. Quite suiting.

3 points. today. Did not get my time on the WOD. Unfortunately I set the clock myself and that did not work to well.

As long as you count them toward your fat blocks…every 3 almonds is a block of fat
