New Addition to the Blog

I put a weight loss ticker at the top of the blog. Seeing my pre-baby weight, and my weight now gives me hope, and momentum.

I worked out yesterday and today. I did not have time to post yesterday because I was on the road most of the day and just could not type. I will say this, the whole30 challenge that I am doing is really resetting my system. I had 8oz of pure apple juice yesterday at lunch (first beverage besides water in 2 weeks) and it gave me the WORST FARTS EVER!! I think I will stick with water.

Yesterday the excersize was front squats, I set my 6 rep max at 125#. I know its not a ton, but I can build from that. Then the WOD was 4 pushups, 8 situps, and 12 jumping lunges every minute on the minute for 12 minutes.


Today we warmed up and did Bench press I set my six rep max at 130#. Then the WOD was run a mile........I wish I never got OUT of shape!

ball slams and kettlebells

great workout today! front squats , I set my 6 rep max at 125#. Itll get bigger.

My own body weight was down to 243 this morning. I am happy with that.

The WOD was kettlebell swings followed by ball slams (15 lb medicine ball, slammed to the ground) 25-20-15-10-5 reps each alternating exercise. I am beat.

Halibut steak, asparagus, and a Yam for lunch. YUM YUM

Strong People are...generally more useful and harder to kill.

I didnt post after last workout. Too dizzy. I did shave 46s off my baseline time.

Crossfit is going great. I got the greatest compliment yesterday. One of my staff said, "Dr. Miller, you look like you have been losing weight".

It made me feel good. 244lbs on the scale this AM but I think I may not see weight loss as fast as I would like. I dont care about the # what I care about is how I look and feel.

Today was my last day of 1 on 1's. Now I get to go into the real classes. I may even go tomorrow to SOS (sufffer on saturday). But I may just go shooting. I am not sure.

We worked on sumo squats, overheat squats and some other lifts I cant remember. The WOD was 30 seconds of pushpress followed by 1 minute of rowing x4. I did 1100M of rowing over the workout. I beat alot of the regular CF'rs.

I made a mango gazpacho last night to pour over poached eggs, so I think I will have that for dinner, not sure on lunch yet.

September 3rd

Another day of Crossfit down! I had a great workout today. We worked on the WOD warmup and then we did some kettlebell and dumbbell work. Hang power cleans, and snatches with the dumbell and kettlebell. Then my WOD... 200M run followed by 15 kettlebell swings for 8 minutes, I think I got four sets in, I cant remember, because all I could think about was how much my stomach felt like their was an alien trying to get out.

I started fish oil today. I do not like the liquid kind. YUCK! I think I will stick with the soft gel pills. I will just drown them down with my smoothie instead of mixing it in.

September 2nd

Before I write about my workout today, I want to write about my paleo diet. I have subscribed to eating a paleo diet. Meat, lots of veggies, fruit, little starch, NO sugar.

Last night I wanted to tear everybodys heads off! I was hungry, but even after I ate... I was hungry. I think my body was having a sugar tantrum.

Today Chris and I talked about nutrition. Then we worked on front squats. My WOD was [250M row, then 12 ball slams] X4. I feel so good after my workout. I didnt get to blog at home because out internet is down. so now it is later in the day and I am starting to get my sugar tantrum feeling. Good thing I already have my dinner planned....

Can you OD on nuts?
