spent the last week on Vacation in SoCal... don't even wanna talk about my diet... but i did manage to log 22,786 steps walking sea world, the zoo, and various other activities! half way to Bree! i can honestly say my diet wasn't terrible, but it was in no way clean, and i drank allot of beer, which i don't normally do since it slows down your metabolic rate and i'm trying to lose weight lol all in all back at it hard and fast starting friday!

so for a while now i have been doing workouts in my yard. for the sake of accountability, i have invited a friend of mine, who is a marathon runner, to join me in my homemade crossfit chaos! i am twice his size and weight, however he is quite strong for his size, and i'm just fat . we tend to do tractor tire flips and other various activities. we are pretty competitive and time all of our WODs. on saturday i smoked his skinny white butt in both WODs that both contained running, lifting, and sweating. IT WAS GLORIOUS! (Fat People 1:Skinny People 99 it's time for the comeback!)

Monday 6/30 workout: massive water balloon war. it was quite epic. lasted 3 hours. felt pretty gooey after it was over meals: breakfast- post workout recovery snack- Quaker rice cake x2 lunch- grilled chicken breast x2 + Garden Carrots x6 snack-handful of raisins x2 dinner- 10 piece chicken nugget from mcdonalds i know i could have done way better with my dinner choice but i was at VBS and dinner was provided so i chose between big mac and chicken nuggets.

Sunday 6/29 workout was just an over active day of VBS, decorating and hosting opening night game time. Meals: Breakfast-post work out recovery shake snack- 2 handfuls of raisins lunch-BBQ chicken, pea salad, corn. snack- 2 handfuls of raisins snack- 2 cliff bars snack- dish of ice cream+ cupcake. Meal planing could have been better, felt like dinner was very chaotic, goal for today DO NOT REPEAT.

Saturday 6/28 WOD: (4 Rounds) 10 Tractor Tire Flips 20 Situps 10 pistols each leg 100m sprint (2 Rounds) 10 Lumber Jacks each arm 10 curls each arm (25lb) 50m Broad Jump. total time 14:51 Diet sucked NEED TO EAT CLEANER!

IT'S FRIDAY!!!! While most people's ideal Friday is a party or hanging at the club/bar, my ideal Friday is moving and decorating my church for our annual VBS! what a workout! i have added over 4,000 steps to my Mordor challenge in just the last 3 hours, a little more that 2.5 miles up and down stairs! Meals: Breakfast- banana x1 + red apple x1 snack-banana x1 + red apple x1 lunch- Subway foot long, turkey & bacon, avocado on flat bread, no cheese, + spinach, onin, honey mustard snack-banana dinner- grilled BBQ chicken breast x3 cheat snack- small choc. chip cookie at church today feels pretty good i will not weigh in again until tuesday next week, got a big WOD coming first thing in the morning! G'night Nerds!

awesome goals and motivation, i too am motivated by my children, because i flat out want to meet my grandchildren! welcome!

yeah sorry didn't catch that typo, would be hard to do a jumping push up lol and yes i bring myself down slowly i don't know if it's quite 5 seconds slowly but i also hold for a breath at the top before i start my descent.

love your enthusiasm! i unfortunately go that talk from my doctor at age 25 "lose weight or die" but it sounds like your heading in the right direction, stick to the diet, stick to the gym. have you looked into doing one of the 6 week challenges? i just started one on sunday this week and i'm already down 7 pounds!.

modified how? i struggle to stay true to paleo but i try, it is just so hard for me to cut out grains completely, i can limit dairy pretty well and stay with non preservative food choices but other than that its the grains.

i struggle with the same thing i find the jumping push ups works really good, also i do lateral pullups, and i sit under the edge of my childrens trampoline with feet straight out and do pull ups from a sitting position this works great, you can even bend your knees a little to help assist you. good luck keep pushing
