Tuesday

METCON

1 round for time:

30 Squat cleans 95lbs
30 pull ups
30 Push Press 95lbs
30 box jumps 24"
30 Sumo Deadlift high pull

13-14 minutes....

I actually forget my time for this one, it was around 13-14 minutes. Every night within 30 minutes before I go to bed I have a 2-4 block zone snack. But the night before this WOD (Monday) I ate a really good double chocolate brownie the size of my hand. I put peanut butter all over it and washed it down with a glass of whole milk with vanilla protein mixed in. It was delicious!! All day yesterday I paid for that brownie and my workout suffered as well. I felt like I drank a bottle of liquor the night before. I did not have the normal hungry feeling I have before every meal at all yesterday, and felt full and sluggish all day. It was awful, the brownie was good and I want to say it was worth it... but when trying to move such a light weight for a squat clean tires you out after 6 reps it was not worth it. I will think twice next time I just cheat in the middle of the week like that. On a weekend night I tend to drift from being so strict or a holiday i will cheat as well. But that is a matter of enjoying or celebrating the occasion. The payout for eating like that is not worth it otherwise.

After big meals or cheat, I fast. I find just skipping eating for about 16hours or so goes a long way on resetting my body. I can totally relate to this post.

It is amazing how food affects us so much. And maybe cutting back on my meals the next day might be the answer. I honestly do not think I could fast or skip any meals, but maybe reducing blocks is a good idea. I actually feel better after a night of drinking then I would after a night of double chocolate brownies....
