What is CrossFit All About?

The CrossFit prescription is “constantly varied, high-intensity, functional movement.” Functional movements are universal motor recruitment patterns; they are performed in a wave of contraction from core to extremity; and they are compound movements—i.e., they are multi-joint. They are natural, effective, and efficient locomotors of body and external objects. But no aspect of functional movements is more important than their capacity to move large loads over long distances, and to do so quickly.

Thursday 1/22/2009

I was not able to work out today. All day meeting for work in Seattle.

I just finished reading, Mastering The Zone on the plane today!

I know I have changed my blocks a bunch of times, but now I feel that I have a plan...
Since I want to gain muscle mass and still burn fat I will eat an extra block a day. Supposedly that should help me gain a pound of muscle a month. The zone recommends that I eat 17 blocks per day so I will go for 18.

I will break those up into three 5 block meals, a 2 block after workout, and 1 before bed.

I was eating about every 3 hours, I learned that if you are truly in the zone, you should not be getting hungry until 4-6 hours after your meal. If you are getting hungry and you are feeling sluggish or loopy your carb to protein ratio is too high and you should decrease your carbs by one block per meal.
If you are hungry after 2 or three hours and your mental state is still alert then you need to add a block of carbs to your meal.
So, I may be adding an extra block of carbs to my 5 block meals throughout the day.
I will also be doubling or tripling my fat intake.

During my meeting today everyone ordered lunch from an Italian restaurant, calzones, pizza, pasta, sandwiches..... looked like a heart attack. I stuck with my homemade burritos!

breakfast: 5 blocks
tortilla
5 oz ham
1/2 avocado
2 apples
24 almonds

lunch 5 blocks
same as above

snack 5 blocks
same as above

Dinner 4 blocks
tortilla
4 oz turkey
1/2 avocado
3 glasses of wine

Wednesday 1/20/2009

I was traveling today and had to work out in a hotel. I decided to run on the treadmill. I ran 2 miles in a little under 20 minutes without walking. My lungs felt great but my legs and lower back were really sore from deadlifting yesterday. I was happy with the 2 miles though. That is the first time in a VERY LONG time I have been able to do that.

Food:
Today I was out of town in Seattle. Jayme backed some burritos, apples, and nuts for me but I had dinner and wine on the company dollar.
