AND WE HAVE A WINNER!!

THis is true... they have excellent eye sight. We'll have to start by infiltrating their ranks, pretending to be one of them... Any volunteeers? <crickets chirping> ok well maybe just bribing them with food is better anyway Also i second the motion for pomegranate AND mango juice boxes

At long last I was able to conduct a proper search for a suitable meeting place. Far from prying eyes (unless you count guard-turkey eyes and birds can't always be trusted as we know), accessible only to the skilled (well as skilled as a clumsy assassin like me anyway ), brave, few I found this A possible "Valley of the Assassins" There is even a tree in the center for posting a watch... Surrounded on all sides by rocky slopes, it seems the perfect place to gather and plan. My hike ended up only being a mile long but I spent most of it climbing down and then back up out of this little valley. I would have gone longer but alas the darkness began to descend and lest anyone begin to wonder where I had gone, and (heaven forbid) come looking for me... I had to return to base. Also I didn't know that turkeys made such a racket when they take flight! It was startling to say the least... also I fear I cannot guarantee the presence of juice boxes

I have come to the realization that I need to make a better plan if I am really going to level up these HSPUs. To that end I found a schedule to follow from my favorite crossfit box... I am going to start using it as part of my warm up routine. intermingled with stretching exercises you do them in sets 3x5, 5x3, 4x8, 8x10 by the time you get where you can do 4x8, you should be able to remove a cushion/plate/whatever you were doing to make it easier and go lower. I also decided to add inverted burpees to the schedule, as they require handstand action. I have continued to practice pullups.. still so close to an unassisted one i can taste it. but the only thing to do is keep trying. right?

The last couple days my work outs have included burpees ("and there was much rejoicing... yay") so I've been getting them in plus some. (too bad we can't do them in advance )

oo yummy.. i might have to try that!! it sounds easy

go for it... always jump in first And like Zebarah says you can spread the catch up out over a few days if need be

Ditto on that.. trial and error is the best way. Seems like every magazine and workout website has a different idea about what we need ... Listen to your body and give it good fuel. keep up the good work guys.

oh now there is a good challenge. I'd join you for that one!! terrible /awesome indeed I have a friend who does crossfit at a relatively new box in Fisher, Indiana, I think she did (or started) on ramp last summer, but had an injury setback... That wouldn't happen to be your box, would it?? That would be too weird... I just finished my first year of crossfit (much interrupted because of moving) but I'm afraid I drank the kool-aid... ha totally addicted.

This. This is why NF is sooo cool. You ARE awesome, never let anyone tell you differently. Cause you ARE off the couch, and you are making awesome progress Way to level up your life!! Keep it up and ps cool shirts ALWAYS make poses cooler

Looks like you are doing great!! you will probably blow right past your goals

I'm in awe! I've done parts of the 300 workout but I haven't had the guts to give it a go through yet... Also SO COOL about geting accepted!! That will be completely awesome! You rock!

also will inverted burpees count towards the 100 burpee challenge? its a different movement all together...

ooo those look like fun!! i'll be adding those to my regimen. Where do you crossfit, and for how long? I love that stuff!!

it was part of a workout... and it happened to be raining but yeah sometimes it's just because its there

running with a sandbag.. in the rain not me but I've done it

I'm in i love getting outside no matter what the weather is

I use this website all the time for finding my mileage.... http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/

I understand the feeling. I spend a lot of time traveling so that involves eating food other people have prepared (not in restaurants), so I have to guess a lot too. For me it's easier to pick something similar and estimate. (not so much calculation involved and I get bored with that too easily) I know some sites will let you build recipes and set portion sizes and everything, which is definitely more precise but maybe not any more accurate if you don't really know what went into the meal. Go with what works best for you for now and then see if you get results. If not, maybe something needs to change.

So I got my pullup practice in this week. Tuesday- Friday I did 3 sets of 5-10 each, usually starting with ten and then by set 3 I'm down to 5. haven't done so well with the HSPU practice but I got to go to a crossfit gym 4 days (YAY!) so we did things like push press (two of the days) and power snatching which will add to my strength, which will add to my ability to push my own body weight off the ground (upside down on my hands). here's to a great weekend and more domination of goals next week

Doing great Angel! and so are you My main concern is not the total calories but the balance btwn fat, protein, and carbs. Obviously I have a ways to go. But the first step is writing it down so I can actually see what I am eating. I need to figure out tuesday: Fat 116.3g 41.6%Carbohydrates 254.4g 40.4%Protein 113.7g 18.1% Wednesday: Fat 123.4g 43.6%Carbohydrates 218.7g 34.4%Protein 140.3g 22% Yesterday: Fat 122.4g 46.2%Carbohydrates 195.8g 32.8%Protein 125g 21%

I can do several in row with assistance, so I'm planning on working up (or rather down) to less and less help. I always attempt a few with no help first and then use the lightest band possible. When there is no pullup bar available, I do body rows. The more horizontal you are the harder they are. Have you read Steve's article on doing pullups? http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2011/04/25/do-a-pull-up/ it's a good one

That's why i use a journal too. Easy to bring along. I found an app yesterday for Loseit.com so it's nearly as easy, with the benefits of showing me how much protein, carbs and fats I've eaten all in a nifty pie chart. And I always have my phone on me...

annnnd done! I hate burpees, but i also love them

Yay Burpees! so It's still possible to play catch up on this right? it's only day 8 after all
