Stress x 100 = AAAGGGGHHHH!!!

2010-03-21T12:20:00.002-04:00

So many questions and so little time. Who has the right answers? Of the business, taxes, and life stress I can handle the life stress. I am good at that. The others... I don't know. So many things are pointing to a different way of looking at the world. Ready to close the book on the past and start a new chapter. hopefully a better one. Things should become clear soon... Had some ice cream last night, oh and a few tortilla chips. Diet has been good. Did have a piece of bread this past week, and the cheats lastnight. Other than the occasional sweet tooth there isn't anything I am having a problem with anymore (paleo related). Missed the firefighter sprint tri this morning. I could not find anybody to work for me for a few hours. Jenn did it solo... yea Jenn! Glad I got to work out all week it really helps with the stress levels. I did get to do the 5k row...yuk my goal was under 20 and I think i did 1929 so that made me happy. Not feel too good , but happy. See all soon.

2010-03-21T12:19:00.001-04:00

What is going on???

2010-03-16T15:59:00.002-04:00

I can say that paleo is the only thing going right in my life right now. Been eating strict just not enough, i don't think. I have one more class this week and that will be out of the way. Then a state test. no biggie. The rest of the problems involve business, money, and taxes!!! Not in any particular order. I dont know if the no sleep, or the constant pit in my stomach is better? At least I have not used junk food as a crutch. I did use patron though!!!!! If you see me wandering around town drunk with a shopping cart, just don't let me wander into traffic (i might be tempted)... Need a couple good CF wods to work the stress right out! see ya

Week From HELL

2010-03-12T21:28:00.002-05:00

Hey all, finally got to work out today did my front squats, new pr of 225. I will also post Patty's new pr of 118. She is girl scout camping all weekend. So I finished my class and took half the day off today to get some shit done. Will be at the Komen when I get off work. I had an ok week for food. Not enough that is for sure. I had a couple paleo margaritas, and I did have a couple stress induced brownies. Thought I was cured of the grabbing for the junk food for comfort. Well it is 98% better than it used to be. Well gotta go see all in the morning.

here it is in a nutshell

2010-03-10T00:59:00.002-05:00

Work, 40hr class in 4 days, 2 presentations in 2 days, and I think my wife and kids are still around. Oh yea, I am supposed to be training for a tri. WTF!!! had a cheat meal last weekend (mexican) yum felt shitty all in one... haha Dont think I have trained, or eaten enough so far this week. Anyway look at the time just finished preparing 1 of my presentations, need sleep. I really will catch up soon. Miss all of ya. bye

2010-03-03T15:36:00.000-05:00

Cheats

2010-02-28T17:21:00.002-05:00

The first real cheats of the challenge. Fri night I had Mr. Mee's I ate so much sushi I thought I was gonna puke. Wow it was good though. Felt ok after that and thought we need sweets, good thing DQ sells mini blizzards... mint oreo yummmm! Well after the guilt set in, the stomach ache started. It was enough to make me go to bed...blah! Oh yea, had some wine too. Then Sat. night I had some wine and maybe some partial cheat food I dont remember. That was my cheat for the challenge. Now i will be on track until Nautica... None of the food I ate was really worth it except for the sushi. See all this week. Later

BLOG SLACKER

2010-02-26T14:07:00.002-05:00

Ok, ok I know I am a blog slacker. I have not been a paleo slacker. I have been a CFE slacker. I did have a giant beer after the edison 5k, and sunday had a couple paleo cocktails, a couple oatmeal cranberry cookies, and I think that is it. I have been blah about doing my CFE's. Feel good for my daily wods, and I think I am a little leaner (hey I said a little) and maybe a little weaker...:( will be tweaking my training calendar for March. Only 43 days til Nautica. Wow I am scared. Have made a really good paleo meatloaf, and found that mashed turnips taste better than mashed potatoes. The "green wise" chicken sliders from Publix have been a staple the past week and a half. I love them. Will be dialing in all my meals soon so I know exactly what I will need for the Tri. See all soon. Stay Gay CFFM.

Just two bites... Twice!

2010-02-15T18:53:00.002-05:00

That is it I swear. I took all my wonderful girls to breakfast on Valentines. We went to Crave... Yum. Had a great omelette, then the craving struck. Wow their pancakes look and smell good. I had 2 bites of a pancake. Tasted good. We had a great day and some good food. Ribeyes for dinner, brussel sprouts. Then after dinner i had 2 bites of ben and jerry's half baked ice cream. YUMMMM. Stopped at 2 bites, could have been bad. Other than 2 bites twice, food has been good, but blah. Have not had time to organize thats why. We hit the gym this afternoon to make up today's wod. Work tomorrow see ya soon.

Weird Crazy Cult

2010-02-09T12:24:00.002-05:00

I realized we are some weird crazy cult yesterday. I thought we were just a bunch of like minded individuals trying to achieve great health and performance. I went to Mother Earth the food store, not the spirit, and I looked around. I found the almond flour i had been searching for and decided it was time to checkout. I get to the counter. Place my two bags of almond flour on the counter, and the girl says, "oh you must be part of that challenge". "The paleo thingy". She said "yea I have seen a few of you". What does she mean by "you". I will not sit in the back of the bus that is for sure. Equal rights for paleo people everywhere!!!!

Week 2

2010-02-08T11:16:00.002-05:00

Monday of week 2. Awesome. I have read how several people are draggin ass today. I am kinda glad i worked then. Sorry i missed the party, but glad i did not drink. Yesterday I had eggs, suasage, and pear for bfast. Spinach, arugula, chicken, and olive oil for lunch, then for dinner i had ribs, smoked beef, and grilled shrimp. OK, the ribs had a little bbq(i kept it to a minimum while cooking) and i had a small scoop of cole slaw. Had mac nuts though out the day for fat. That is it I swear. If you could have seen the cupcakes i had to fight off you would be proud. Homemade with homemade cream cheese icing!!! WTF!!! They smelled awesome.
Not a lot of sleep and i did the Fball dwod this a.m. along with "foul ball" my times were; 400-1:19, 400-1:18, WBS 1:55, 400-1:18, and 400-1:19...sucked! hopefully will do a 90min cfe on the bike today. I said hopefully! talk to ya soon, stay paleo.

Super Bowl Sunday

2010-02-07T10:09:00.002-05:00

Usually filled with lots of beer, chips, dips, and wings. Not so much this year. First I am at work today. We are making ribs, smoked beef, and bbq shrimp. "meat-a-palooza", as named by the guys at the firehouse. I have already passed on pancakes for breakfast... I will try to keep my intake to meat and fat. Did bring a salad for lunch. Might have to have a cheat and have bbq sauce. YUM! No threat of having beer that is good.
Last night we made meat sauce with the gf beef, onions, peppers, and lots of garlic, used gia russa for the interest of time. then we served it on spaghetti squash... Wow that was an excellent dinner. The squash was awesome. It really felt like we were eating pasta. Actually it tasted better. Have posted most of my meals this week. Breakfast and lunch are usually the same and boring. the dinners have been posted. We did go to Outback... Steak and veggies. A couple vodka/soda/limes did find their way into my tummy.
Do like when Sat. mornings at the gym are busy with weight being dropped, and people fighting for space to do their wods.
Let's get ready for week 2.....

Tacos... Kinda

2010-02-02T18:37:00.002-05:00

lettuce tacos with ground chicken breast, onion, red pepper, purple cabbage, fresh lime and cilantro. Topped with a heap of guac. Very good and never missed the old way. Better look out everyone, might as well give me the money now!!! hahaha

Day 1 sucked

2010-02-02T14:26:00.002-05:00

Day 1 of the "this is so stupid challenge" (at least that is what i called it yesterday) I did the wod and went to work. All was fine and almost breakfast time. Then they said your off to Estero for a class. So I thought, ok i'll get something at publix for lunch... Well lunch rolled around and they said lunch will be served lets eat. I walk in and lunch was pan after pan of ooeeyy, goey, cheesy lasagna. WTF!!!! So, unable to leave i sat and watched a bunch of fat lazy firemen eat ooeeyy, goey, cheesy lasagna. Coffee and water were keeping my stomach fooled until about 5:30 when i finally got some chicken. Wow. A few hours of hunger made me think nasty thoughts. I guess the moral of the story is even when you think your prepared, your not. I finished the night with sauteed snapper and a spinach/arugula salad toped with guac. Today is going much better. I think i will make it...

Sat. morning vibe

2010-01-09T16:41:00.000-05:00

Great Vibe at the gym this a.m. CFFM. I enjoyed it.

JBrod 1 Karen 1 (all tied up)

2010-01-08T17:41:00.002-05:00

Well, last time I did Karen, I did not call her the next day... In fact I never called her again. Honestly, between you and me, she was a real bitch. Yea we had a great fling. It was hot and heavy. Lots of sweating, moaning, panting..... you get the point. We GOT IT ON!!! For the record she left me laying there in a puddle of my own fluids. So no, I wasn't calling her back. I got what I wanted... (fast forward 10 months) Here I am going to the gym to be fit and healthy, when I walk in, and there she is. Yep, Karen. "Hi", she softly whispered. Trying not to be rude, I uncomfortably bark out a "hey", and continued my warmup. There was several minutes of secret glances. Followed by a few short moments where our eyes would meet and sharply turn away. Always wondering, did she notice? Finally, she made the move. She shoved aside all the heartbreak of our last encounter. Stepped over the fear of rejection, and came right up to me. "Shhhhh", as she placed her finger on my lips. "I have something to say, and your gonna listen." So I listened. After hearing how, like myself, she too had a hard time walking the next day. She also told me how all she can do is think of "us sweating again". She then laid it out there, "all I want is you one more time" she whispered in my ear. You know the whisper I mean. Mouth open, teeth together, almost aggressive. As I gazed at her in shock. She said, "its quiet here in the back room. let's do it here". I looked around and all was clear. That is when the tension broke.... I forcefully pushed her against the wall. Playfully, she pushed back, and we used a medicine ball to break our fall. From there everything gets crazy. All I know is that it ended with a bang.... As I lay gasping for my breath, I reached out for her hand. All I grasped was the cold dark floor. That's when I realized she had come back for revenge, and that's what she got. Well Karen if you are reading this somewhere I want you to know something....... I Faked it!

Til next time Bitch.

2010 "a little late"

2010-01-05T18:27:00.002-05:00

Wow, it's the 5th already. Hope everyone had a great Xmas, and a great New Years. I have officially started my tri training. All is well so far. A few days of wods coupled with either strength, or CFE. Clean, Clean eating. Trying to follow Paleo 100%. Sorry I missed the Ruts on Sun. could not get off work in time. I went for a bike ride though. about 40 minutes, and I think I did 13.5 miles. Just getting used to my new bike will start pushing it on the next few bike wods. Excited for all that is going to unfold with this tri training. At work gotta go. blog ya later
JB

sick!

2009-12-20T13:01:00.002-05:00

So I took a 40hr class this week, worked 56 hr and only worked out one day. Now I am sick. What gives? I will be getting plenty of rest so I can kick this early this week. There are lots of workouts to make up. See all soon.
J

Friday Already?

2009-12-11T14:55:00.002-05:00

Where did this week go? Busy, blah, blah, you know the drill. I am sore from the ghd on Monday. I worked Wed. and did the school field trip on thur. came home and was headed to the gym for the evening, and fell asleep somehow. I wont complain, I guess my body needed some rest. Back today for back squats 5x5 I pr'd at 285 my last 5x5 was 255. That sure made me happy. will be back this evening for yesterdays run. I will use that as a CFE. I have my training calendar done for the tri, if anyone doing training wants it. Maybe we can do some together. I have it on gmail so I can share it with you if you want. Jen, let's swim!!! get with me sometime..........
Everyone have a great weekend!

"QUAD DAMNIT"

2009-12-03T11:20:00.002-05:00

That is what I named that shit ass wod. Holy cow! I was all ready to do a CFE and the 8am girls shamed me into quad damnit. So then I stretched and rested for about 30 min and decided I better do my CFE, cuz later I know I would not be felling it. (or I would be feeling it if you know what I mean). So yea, 5x800 with 90sec. rest. Double ouch. My range was 3:15-3:21. Not the best, but I have a legit excuse. I am really sore from the pushups, and the pullups yesterday. I did them both rx'd for the first time since the blowout. All were tough. Had to break them up into 5's then 3's. That hurt my time, but I was just trying to push the new tissue. Diet is much better now after the T day/B day weekend. Hope I can walk for lumberjack tomorrow.

JB

Black Friday

2009-11-27T11:40:00.002-05:00

More like "FAT" Friday. At work today running calls on every post turkey ailment you can think of. I thought everybody was shopping? Had a great day yesterday. Ran the Turkey Trot with Maddie, and Sydney. The website states 25:20, but the garmin said 24:53. I like the garmin better. The girls did Awesome. I am so proud they even try, much less finish. I never did anything like that at that age. I wish we would have had time to warm up before. After, we had a great morning at home all together. Eggs, bacon etc. We had dinner with Patty's family and it was awesome. Lots of wine, and lots of great food. Sorry I had to miss out on the post turkey wod. Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend. Remember, it only takes one meal to be back on track!!!

Yeah Friday!

2009-11-20T15:11:00.002-05:00

Today is a little better than yesterday. My arm does not hurt as much and PT went much better. So glad its friday. At work tomorrow, but rest and football on sunday. Will be looking to do some CFE's to burn some cals before T day. What do ya say? Let me know. Hope everyone has a great weekend. See ya

JB

What the Fuck is wrong?

2009-11-19T18:02:00.002-05:00

So this week has been shitsville. I can't get my head right, and my body is not helping... Tue. I was warming up for the FB wod and tweaked a bone in the middle of my hand. I don't know, somwhere in a clean. So I started the wod and literally could not grab the bar, my hand hurt so bad. So I stopped the wod 2 minutes in. Very frustrated, I went for a timed mile. The rest of Tue. was pretty much the same. I mentally came unglued. A good nights sleep helped me attack 5a.m. on wed. Ready to put tue. away, I did the burpee/mile wod. 14rds which was 105 burpees, and my mile time was 20 sec off the day before. I was happy. Later Wed, my pec was not happy I did 105 burpees. I proceeded to get my ass kicked at work all night long. This morning I strolled into the gym very, very sore. My pec and shoulder very tight. I thought the 4 cups of coffee would get me through the wod. As I tried to warmup and scale the wod, because I realized pullups, and benchpress were not going to happen today. I found nothing I could really do without discomfort, or pain in my shoulder. Frustrated another day, I left without a decent wod. I got to physical therapy and explained everything. So now I cant do anything from the bellybutton up for 2 days, and she yelled at me. I guess my "greenlight" should have been a yellow light for now. Diet has also been shaky the past couple days. Not too bad, but borderline. AGHAGHAGHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

There that helped!

Get Monday out of the way

2009-11-16T19:42:00.002-05:00

Up early Sat. to leave for our weekend away. I was suprised with a trip to Miami. I was suprised that the kids were coming along. I had to quickly repack kid friendly clothes. The chaps, and thongs are not for kiddy time... hahahaha. We went to the Sea Aquarium for the day on Sat. and stayed at the Shula Golf Resort. Had some beers, and some junkfood on Sat. Oh, did I say beers? Then we had a typical Brod family adventure Sat. night. don't ask!!! Sun. we were up with bfast buffet, and off to the stadium. The girls had never been to a football game. We did not tailgate, but we saw all that was going on. We had an awesome day topped off by a Dolphin win. Everyone seemed to have a really good time. Do I see a tailgate football trip in the future? Who's in?

Anyway back to work today, to cover for the guy that covered for me yesterday. Did a little tabata treadmill 12.5% @ 7mph... OUCH. That snuck up on me. Then 3rds of 15kbs - 20 weighted lunges - 15 GHD situps. Now I am ready for the rest of the week.

America F@#K yeah!

2009-11-11T15:14:00.002-05:00

Tommy V, I salute you with my shredded hands. I salute all the vets who gave us what we have today, and those who will keep us safe tomorrow. I am not lying about the shredded hands. I have six blisters, and two have torn. Wow! that wod kicked my ass. High fives to all that did all the reps.

Did the CFE 5x800 yesterday I was in the range of 3:24 to 3:36. There was 90 sec. rest intervals. That sucked too. Little slips this past weekend with food, but I said its ok. Actually hopped on the scale for the hell of it yesterday and I am down 8 lbs from when I got my sling off. Clean eating does pay off. Not that I am trying to lose weight, but I would like to lean out a little more. I dont wnat to lose any strength while training for the tri. I hope to actually be stronger. Oh well enough of that. Is it Friday yet????

JB

I can't handle the truth

2009-11-03T16:46:00.002-05:00

First of all the wod sucked! The squats on the second round were a wake up call that is for sure. Tired and at work today. I think my back hurts from that wod I cant tell.
Clean food so far. I need to do a CFE soon. somebody?
Cya

hollow weenie

2009-10-31T15:30:00.002-04:00

At work on a beautiful Sat. Sucks I miss halloween with the kids, but i am sure they will have candy as a surrogate father until tomorrow. This week kicked my ass. I have been sore all week. A couple little slips on the food, but otherwise all is good. Have not heard from the CFE "ers" about Sunday morning run. I did hear that there might be some people running at Lakes Park. Can anyone confirm? I promise I won't run naked! Let me know. see ya soon.
JB

Real push ups

2009-10-27T15:15:00.002-04:00

So, today at PT I was chatting with my therapist. She restated one of my goals when I started, "to do real push ups". She said since I have been working out, she wanted to see one. After some hesitation I did a "few". We will leave it at that. Not real pretty and a little painful, but I did some. Baby steps right? Don't worry they won't be part of my work outs anytime soon, but they can be in my warmups. Maybe!
I have been eating really clean. Wait, I did have PF Chang's last night. Only had Beef and veggies. I know the sauce was bad for me, but soooo damn good. I did not know they have a gluten free part of their menu... Something to think about!!!!!
Trail run Sunday. Who's in??? I have to work Sat. and will be off at 7a.m. on Sun. so if 8, is not too late of a start. I am good. Let me know... Oh yea, by the way, Today's wod SUCKED. F'd me up for a long time. Although it is the first day I have lifted anything overhead. Doesn't matter still F'd me up.
To all the CFE girls, I am counting yesterdays football wod as a CFE. It sucked too. 16 x 110m sprints with 40 sec rest. Yea a real puker!
Talk to you later
JB

Bored

2009-10-24T21:43:00.002-04:00

So it's Sat. right? Patty had to leave town. The girls are statying at her sisters, because I have to work tomorrow. Soooooooo... I went to the gym to do heavy deadlifts tonight???? I think there might be something wrong with me. I guess bored working out is better than bored eating... So I did 555333111 HEAVY!!! Now I am eating a blackened steak, spinach, guac, and a few glasses of red wine. That to me, with the football on tv,it is a good night... Will try to do a CFE at work tomorrow. maybe I'll see you Mon.
JB

WORK for real!

2009-10-22T15:16:00.002-04:00

First day on shift in about 2 1/2 months. Nice to be back. A little crazy this week. No wod this morning, Patty had to leave town for a friend of the family. She will be back Mon. So our morning routine was f'd up. I will try to do a wod at work. Will be at the gym late in the morning. Very hungry today and I don't know why? Been clean on the groceries though. See ya
JB

My mind says yes, but my body say NO!

2009-10-21T10:47:00.002-04:00

When the alarm sounded at 4:30 I really felt I was physically unable to work out. So, I didn't. How's that for comfort zone? Then I got up later, decided to skip my last half day of light duty, and went to work out about 8:30. Very tight, sore back, and legs felt the same. I wound up doing the CFE wod Kary did the other morning on the rower. 3x5min with 3 min rest. 1341m,1271m, and 1279m. Kinda sucked. Might do some sprints after therapy??? Totally clean eating so far this week... could there be a week with no cheats? doubt it! Still need to hook up with cfe girls and get a schedule. cya
JB

Wow

2009-10-19T17:55:00.002-04:00

Another great CF cert. This past weekend was awesome. The wods kicked our asses, but the information shared was invaluable. It was yet another reason I love the Crossfit community. People that are tops at what they do, willing to give you everything they know. So much information... need time to organize it all. Just watch out for the "dead bugs"!!!!!!! Oh you'll see. I ate really pretty clean this weekend. Just a little too much beer. My soreness did not allow me to workout today... so I will get ready for tomorrow. Cya soon
JB

Friday Rocks

2009-10-16T10:20:00.002-04:00

Yes it is friday! YEAH!!! A little bit of light duty today and then off to tampa for the CF football cert. Sorry Fran I just could not make our date, I hope you accept my apology for standing you up. It's not you. It's me. I promise...
For all you food challenge girls, I too had a pretty clean week. The only cheats I see this weekend will be beers. Next week I will be ready to start some CFE's. So I will find out when you ladies do them, and maybe tag along. Have a great weekend. I will post on FB how the cert is going.
JB

Yes I will do it!

2009-10-15T11:14:00.002-04:00

When Jenn G. mentioned the Nautica Tri in south Beach I said sure. Later, I started really thinking about it. Then I started to get a little excited. Not excited to run a tri, but excited to push outside of my comfort zone. Once in a while we need to leave the comfort zone and do something we are not comfortable with. Sounds like a great experience, and should be a lot of fun to do extra training with fellow cfer's.

for all the girls to read

2009-10-14T21:08:00.001-04:00

Here is a link to a really great article for the ladies.

http://www.elitefts.com/documents/female_athletes.htm

Almost Friday?!?!

2009-10-14T08:36:00.002-04:00

Ouch Burpees!!! OK, maybe when the dr said to test my pec he did not mean do 50 burpees in a wod. That sucked yesterday. By round three I was doing some form of a "right-sided" burpee get up thing...? Am way too sore to bench today... Laugh! Did the 8x200m sprints with 1 min rest intervals, and some awesome stretching. I could have done Kary's favorite... Drag the weight sled... Your next. Trying to get ready for the football cert this weekend, should be fun. Oh yea, Sydney's 11th B-Day yesterday. Good dinner of sautee'd chicken and eggplant with some alfredo sauce on it. Did not have the pasta. Caesar salad, and "sunday cake". That was the cheat portion of the meal. God it was good!!!!! Talk to you later

2009-10-14T08:34:00.000-04:00

What's up Tuesday?

2009-10-13T10:25:00.002-04:00

So I am at the doctor's office, and this guy who looks like my dr., sounds like my dr., says... " I don't think you can hurt your pec now. So go and see what you can do." Really? Really! He said there is enough scar tissue to hold everything together, and the things I can't do, are just because there is not enough muscle tissue. So I can try anything, (ramped down) and work my way up. I still have therapy 3 days a week through Nov. Watch out ladies that use the bands for pullups here I come!!!! I know pullups and pushups are a long way away, but at least I can try. Good luck to the girls in their "challenge" I am there for help if you need. Stayed up way too late watching MNF and sleept on the couch with no alarm. So that is why I missed 5 a.m. I will try to get a lunch wod in today. See ya soon

JB

Monday's Blow

2009-10-12T11:03:00.002-04:00

Yes, Monday does blow. I am sick of sub-ing box jumps and sit ups in my wod's. I do go to the DR. today so maybe he will give me a better time frame. I will post an update later. Along with a food update. Somebody give me coffee.

Tha day of Football and rest

2009-10-11T14:32:00.003-04:00

Nice Sunday morning slept in a little, was up late following J. Gunter on the computer. A little laundry and a bout an hour and twenty min. bike ride with Maddie, and Sydney. Now its time for some turkey burger adn guac. Had meatballs lastnight with very little pasta, and some wine/beer. Had a cheat meal Fri. night and Sat. night. I was in a carb deficit before both meals so hopefully it was not too bad. Been clean otherwise. Back to the Dr. tomorrow for a recheck on the pec. Will keep you up to date. Have a great day watching football. Oh yea there is probably a beer, or two in my near future.

World Record Holder

2009-10-09T08:59:00.002-04:00

You are reading the blog of a world record holder. Today, just this morning, I set a new world record. I said the "F" word to more people on the road than anyone EVER! Usually... F#@KING DRIVE, or the now famous, FU%*ING MOVE! I really hate the way people drive, look, talk, breathe... well you get the picture. One more issue I have this morning. I was in 7 eleven, getting coffee and gum, when I noticed the really, really fat kid (about 6) crying to his mother that he really wanted breakfast. He was obviously dressed for school, and apparently really hungry. Then his fat mother proceeded to buy him... one hot piece of 7/11 pizza, 6 bbq chicken wings, 1 taquito, and the biggest fucking twinkie, brownie, snoball thing I have ever seen. Literally the size of a basketball. I actually laughed out loud. WTF!!!!!!
So I am back blogging. By very unpopular demand I might add. Since I tore my pec I have not blogged, I barely worked out, I did eat junk food, I did drink beer, I did do a lot of nothing, and most of all, I did gain 10 pounds... AWESOME!! Now that I can work out hard. well I can run, row, deadlift, squat, boxjumps, and situps. Still limited, but at least I can add intensity. my diet has been clean this week. A few beers the other night, but really clean. I feel great... except the arm... and have shed a few pounds this week. So for honesty, and the new bloggers I will be posting regularly. I have some really good recipes for the newbies I will post soon.

See ya later

Back but not for long

2009-07-14T16:05:00.002-04:00

OK so I missed out on all of the fun this past weekend. I wish I was around, I certainly enjoy goodtimes with great people. Even if we did lose one (sorry I missed you Mariel) Good luck have fun and visit soon. I know I could have placed high in the sport drinking events on Sat. even though I am too old to sport drink. Happy b-lated Stuntman, I owe you a drink. I spent six great days in the Keys doing a good bit of drinking myself. Along with a good bit of diving and fishing. No internet in the house we have and very sketchy cell service. A terrible thing is about to occur, I have to go back for another week. I know it is terrible. Well I had to come back to work for a day. I think I am only working 4 days this month. The rest being spent well, maybe I shouldn't say it, or the working lynch mob will come after me. Hey, it's my vacation time and I earned it. Well I will update you next week when I come home for a couple days, then back down til the end of the month, and I promise there will be pics, and stories. I will being doing some sort of wods to stay somewhat on track. hahahaha. See ya all
JB

Did I turn 60 today?

2009-06-27T14:13:00.002-04:00

I have to say that this is the first time since CF, or CFFB that I feel whipped. My body is beat up, even my bones are sore. I might have a little of the problem coach is having. I don't know if I have enough protien blocks for a proper recovery. I was a little slim on the carb blocks this week, maybe that was it. All that does not matter though, because yesterday on the CFFB "total" I pr'd 3 of my four lifts. All by at least 15 pounds. Wow! I know this stuff works. I am at work today and am trying to take it easy. Will try to the rest of the weekend. Everyone have a good weekend!
JB

Down in a Hole

2009-06-24T19:52:00.002-04:00

OK, so most of my day was spent in a hole. Actually a pipe. It was 24" in diameter, 12 feet underground and 85 feet long. Yea, not my favorite place. There is the thick wet sticky mud, and then there is the spiders. Yep, you heard me right. Big, thick, black, juicy spiders. All of this was in the name of "confined space" training. That was my day at work, hope everyone had a better day! Did I mention how sore I am today? Yes the lifting has made me sore, but the DAMN 110m sprints yesterday killed me. 16 110m sprints with 45 sec. rest in between. All under 18sec. or you get a 10 burpee penalty for each. I am built for comfort, not speed!!! OUCH! I really would have liked full use of my hamstrings in that hole today.... Thanks CFFB. See all soon.

Back to reality

2009-06-11T16:43:00.002-04:00

OK, i had 5 days in Siesta Key, that was awesome. Much needed due to the stress before we left. So we get back from an incredible and relaxing weekend, and the drama starts right up to wipe the weekend away. Does anybody want to buy a hair salon? Too much junk food and beer during the relaxing weekend. I have gottne to the point that I am over the bad eating, because it really does make me feel bad when I do it. So I thought why even do it??!! Feel good this week as far as wods go. The FB wods are tough this week. I did pr my front squat today at 235 for 3 reps. Makes me happy. Check out my Siesta Key pics on facebook. See ya. Off to a funeral tonight. JB

Push in Practice

2009-06-01T22:15:00.002-04:00

I read a great post from Adrian Bozman. It deals with gaming your wod. I will put the link in and hope you read it. It has a good point that I think some of us do. Holding back in our weak areas to save energy for the stronger areas. This is ok in a competition to beat someone, but it does not make you stronger at your weakness, when you should be getting stronger (practice).http://sanfranciscocrossfit.blogspot.com/2009/05/quality.html Finding your weakness and working on it is how you get results. Mine is blogging on a regular basis. Will work on it.
JB

Please stop

2009-05-27T20:12:00.002-04:00

OK, I had a "great weekend" you know, drank too much passed out 5pm on sat slept til 8am sun morn. Ate horrible all weekend. Now this week is filled with drama. Did the football wod today which was 7rds of 7OHS 115#, 7 24"box jumps, and 7 clapping pushups. OUCH my back is screaming. I will update tomorrow. See ya.

2009-05-22T11:58:00.001-04:00

Recovery is why you get better, not more training!

The shift never ends

2009-05-22T11:36:00.002-04:00

O.K. so now I am into the second half of my 48hr shift, won't be long now! So sorry I missed "Murph" again today. This is the second time I was at work for "Murph". I salute him anyway and will brave the workout one day. I like the hero wod's, for some reason when I am tired and want to quit I think about the guys we are honoring and what they have gone through. It gives me a little more drive, and makes me proud to be an American. Hope everyone has a good weekend planned, with lots of booze! I am playing golf tomorrow in the cajun classic, so I know beer will be my breakfast and lunch. Update ya later.
JB

Dumb F#@ks

2009-05-21T12:54:00.002-04:00

As I go through my daily life, I often think about all the dumb stuff I see ,and the stupid people I meet. Is it just me, or does everyone have as many "DFS" (dumb fuck sightings) as me? I have to start carrying my camera with me everywhere I go. I will document and pass on to the rest of the mafia. Please feel free to tell me about your favorite dumb shit experience. I will post again. I am at work now until Sat. morning. So, I should be able to give a DFS update later. In the words of Stuntman Mike "suck it"

See ya

I've fallen and I can't get up

2009-05-20T17:24:00.002-04:00

Back for good. I took a little break from blogging for unknown reasons. So today, after all the begging and pleading from hot chicks, (ok, one hot chick) I decided to "reblog". I have been doing the football wod's with J, and Brent. They are going quite well. A lot of strength work so I feel I am getting stronger. Been a little lax on the diet, so I am ready to kick it into strict gear. So listen, my dumbass decided to do the wod on Mon. (yes, "Karen") and then do the football wod of 100 pullups for time. Today is wed. and I can't walk, or move my arms, still. That explains the title. I heard there were a few drinks flowing at the CF party on Sat. big sorry for missing that. I was looking forward to getting drunk and puking on as many people as possible. oh well, there's next time. I have to say thanks to Stuntman Mike for making me laugh, and I am having his rants evaluated for psychotic undertones!!!!! Keep it up Jim. See all later.

Friday never comes too soon!

2009-04-03T14:26:00.002-04:00

I am sore. tough week, but I loved it. I am tight everywhere. Another week of great wods. Isn't this crossfit shit great!?! Everybody knocked it out this week, well those that showed. I hope everyone has a restful weekend. I work tomorrow, so Sun will be rest day. Tried to eat clean this week, but had a few slips. Constant battle. I have come to grips that 3, or 4 bad meals a week is not that bad. They really are not truly "bad". so, I can deal. Hope to see all of you soon! JB

2009-03-29T20:14:00.002-04:00

OK, so I lied. I needed to rest, but ended up doing a wod today. I guess all the food in the past days made me guilty. I ran the training tower 10 times and did push ups at the top and dumbbell swings at the bottom. Nice for a Sun. wod About 19 minutes.

Rain, Sunday, Work

2009-03-29T12:31:00.003-04:00

One of those words does not belong? Wow still feeling tired from the past week of wod's. Have had a few bad meals in the last few days. That might be adding to my feeling tired. Will be back on the nutrition this week. Lots of lifting last week. Also did some squats on Sat. Feel like I need a couple days of no lifting. At work today and the rain means I feel like sleeping. Great work to everyone last week. Hope your weekend was good and Hope to see everyone this week.
JB

Triple Mod

2009-03-18T14:46:00.002-04:00

Wow! felt a little pukie during the wod today. Needed a little 30 sec break to hold it down. Still finished in 14 something. Had to recover quick to do a 101 at 9. Feel really hungry today, trying to keep the snacks clean. Had a steak at work lastnight, that I topped with grilled veggies, a thick chunky red sauce, and a little mozz. Then popped it in the oven to finish. Felt like a cheat meal, but I thought it was pretty clean. Wow, it was good. See ya. JB

Yeah Burpees

2009-03-17T11:16:00.002-04:00

Lots "O" burpees this morning. Ugh! Really sore from the "bear complex" yesterday. I have a bruise on my back from the bar. Long weekend, sorry I did not catch any of the extra workouts for MK... Busy. Did not eat the best all weekend, but thats what weekends are for right? haha. Feel good about the 5k 24:08, next time I want 21. It was good to see all who came out. At work today and trying to eat strict. Will keep ya posted.

Just another met-con Monday.

2009-03-09T15:19:00.002-04:00

2k on the rower sucked. 7:06 wanted 7 even, so I will find 6 seconds somewhere. Did it with the damper between 5 and 6. This weekend sucked for food. At the soccer field sat. all day little food, and crap for dinner. Sun. firehouse breakfast (we all know how that goes) good lunch, ok dinner. Back on it today though. See ya

legs are sore now

2009-03-04T18:05:00.002-05:00

Nice wod, gotta love the triple mods. finished in 28:14 and thought the world was going to end, o.k. maybe just my life. Been feeling very good-have to blame the diet I guess- little slip at lunch today, but I am not worried. Tried to run Pose for the wod and made it 3 rds until my form started to break. That was to be expected. Where did today go? I need this week to slow down for like 5 seconds. Big shout to everyone that did the 24" box. I was a victim, on my third jump in the 1st rd I smoked the front with my shin. OUCH! Oh well. Earn your scars, right? Off to cook din. See ya soon JB

I know why naps were invented

2009-03-03T11:16:00.002-05:00

Hey what's up? Had a long weekend in Brandon, loved the cert. I learned so much. A lot of new ways to think about training. My calves are sore! the Pose technique is very interesting. I am not efficient yet, but I will be a more efficient runner soon. I hope!!! Also learned some "trigger point" therapy techniques that will hopefully cure some of the aches and pains of training. Worked yeaterday, so did not work out at all. (could barely walk) Have been good on the nutrition side. Maybe a little slip sat. night, but all else has been great. Will try to find some time to add a page to my blog for some cool stretching and warm up things along with the tp therapy techniques.

Who's sore this week?

2009-02-26T12:47:00.002-05:00

Happy thurs. Nice wod today, 17 flat. My hams are sore and tight from this week. Been good with food so far this week. Did have a diet dew today (wow thats good). Cant wait for the running cert this weekend. Will blog ya later. JB

First IF

2009-02-24T21:05:00.002-05:00

I know its late, long day at work. Did IF today, ate d lastnight around 6 and did not eat 'til lunch today. Pushed in the wod and felt my old friend pukie close by. Was not too hungry (well I managed) Will try again thur night/fri. Not sure if I caught up on my blocks today, been busy. Did an ass load of TGU's today at work and then ran the training tower. 5 stories-up and down 10 times. Was not pretty because I got a call about 30seconds after I finished, and I had to go and be sweaty. Not fun trying to assess a medical patient when your dripping sweat. That's the down side of wod's at work. see ya soon JB

TGIFF

2009-02-20T11:22:00.002-05:00

Back squats this morning, 4 sets of 10 @ 225 nice and heavy, but felt good. Hope everyone has a nice weekend. I will be at work tomorrow, so Sun. should be good. I really am having issue with the weight and "leanness" I am getting stronger-not dropping weight-which I understand-but I don't think I am getting any leaner- I am preparing to go totally strict and maybe even "IF" to see if I can get some change. A little more research on the IF before I start. I don't care about the weight "number" it is the BF number I want to change. Oh well, the on going story! See ya, JB

What day is it?????

2009-02-19T19:22:00.003-05:00

I am totally confused this week, and busy. Today is Thur. I got it now. Am so tired today. Work was long yesterday, was in Hendry county til 9:30 lastnight on a brush fire, and had a long night. Today's wod I was just "cruisin" did not try hspu's on the wall (too tired). I could have just skipped and gone to bed!! Did get a short nap this afternoon and will be in bed early. Ate decent yesterday, just not enough. No food in the woods! Had some seafood tonight with very little wheat pasta, I know i'm bad. Oh yea, I was attacked by a bunch of m&m's earlier and they jumped in my mouth. I just could not stop them, they were out of control. I am sore from this week can't wait for the weekend.
JB

Met Con Monday

2009-02-16T12:31:00.002-05:00

Ran the 3x800 did 255, 241, 255 then I had to try a row 1x800 239. My legs were officially shaky after that. Diet sucked sun. will have to dial it in this week. Still tired and sore buns from the lunges. see ya JB

Too tired

2009-02-15T11:03:00.002-05:00

Sunday, I am at work today and trying not to be tired. Out late for V day. Had a really nice time, great nite. The bloody V day wod kicked me down. I am a little sore from it. Great job to those who showed up to get bloody. Awesome dinner at Roy's (what zone?) great drinks, and I could not steer away from the Sunday morning firehouse sausage gravy. Will do some light wod today and some stretching. See ya this week. JB

Wednesday???

2009-02-11T17:10:00.002-05:00

Just doesn't feel like wed. to me. This mornings wod was a B... amazing how the curb pushups add to the level of difficulty. was going to head in and do some extra work, but too many things to do. Feel like I have been hungry all day and I can't shake it. Also can't stop drinking h2o today I feel like a camel, can't satisfy the thirst either. Oh well I'll try to keep ignoring it. Will be in a 5am tomorrow see ya. JB

Monday Monday Monday

2009-02-09T11:09:00.002-05:00

Back from an awesome weekend, and learned so much. A little sore and very stiff. Lots of reps with the pvc, and light barbell. Makes for a sore monday. Did I say lots of reps (I mean LOTS of reps). So much stuff to work on. Is there really enough time in the week? Lets all quit our jobs and just train!!! Fun huh? Hey something to check out, www.paleokits.org they are great "on the go" meals and they are all natural. Steve was at our cert and everyone said they were great. Maybe we could do a bulk order for a discount if anyone is interested. the money also goes to his foundation that is training kids in Camden the crossfit way. check it out. See everyone at the gym this week. Oh yea, how many blocks is 25 wings!!!
JB

Oh yea one more thing Happy Birthday to Coach!!!

Who likes Snatch????

2009-02-07T18:16:00.002-05:00

Well after 8 hours of training with coach Burgener we have lifted nothing more than 45 pounds and have learned that the oly lifts are more like ballet than weightlifting. Oh yea, we only did the snatch today that is it. The knowledge that is here teaching us is amazing. We have so many things to work on there is not enough time in the week!!!!!! Cant wait to work on everyone's snatch. See you when I get back. JB

SLACKERS

2009-02-05T10:30:00.001-05:00

Where is everyone today? Great numbers all week and a little chill keeps everyone in bed. On the wod did <115#140,> Heavy thrusters were tough. I could clean it just fine but the thruster was tough at 145. Diet was great yesterday, will be today also. Probably will just chill at the gym tomorrow. Work on some skills, don't want to be sore for coach B. Cant wait, see ya later JB

2009-02-04T09:34:00.002-05:00

Tough wod! I might just hang myself with a jumprope!!! I can do d/u's in practice, then when the wod comes up I cant do them. AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Worked lastnight, diet was good yesterday. Will be good today. Will blogya later. JB

2009-02-02T20:41:00.002-05:00

Nice mon. morning wod. Did 10 rds, started with 270# and at 5 rds had to shed 25# so finished at 245#. A little disappointed, but still got a good workout. Diet has been a little shaky since that damn piece of pizza!!!!! Not too bad today. Back to work tomorrow, so nice and strict. Am ready for bed so will post ya in the morning.

Chocolate Cake SUCKS!!!

2009-01-29T10:22:00.002-05:00

Good Morning all. Had a huge cheat evening at work lastnight. (I kind of felt like I needed it) Huge (I mean really big) bacon cheese burgers, with everything, of course. Then was the choc cake with cream cheese icing in the middle and coconut pecan icing on top!!!!! I know I am a disgusting PIG!!! The cake made me feel like shit and I still felt it this a.m. I had been very clean and strict for a nice stretch there. Oh well its over. Todays wod was "sneaky". caught up to me quick. 73 for the pullups. Huge UPS to Sarah for the 71 you were my guidance and drive and you weren't even there. Was treated to a really nice hand tear towards the end and it sucks. Great job to everyone, nice effort today. See you soon JB

HSIF

2009-01-23T15:11:00.002-05:00

Feeling better fri. I had a little stomach thing on wed. night and part of thur. I feel much better now and felt good this a.m. during the wod. Very hungry though. I did 135 for my 1st set and had to drop down for the rest. Worked back to 130 on the 4th. So, very heavy press day for me. My shoulders are weak, but getting stronger.
If you think about nutrition and what the general public is told, take bfast for instance. oatmeal, 1 banana, and an 8oz glass of oj. Sounds healthy huh? (well in a traditional way) Now take your "zone knowledge" and break that down... 8c, 2p, 2f. Looks like this bfast will lead you down the path of increased insulin and storage of sugar. We all know now where that gets us! Now take the McD's 1/4 pounder with cheese... 4.3c, 4.6p, 8f. 2 times fat is ok, and the carbs are not the best, but yes the 1/4 pounder is the healthier meal as far as we are concerned. This little story was told by Pat Sherwood, CF guru. Obviously he would not live off of 1/4 pounders, but he stated if given those two as choices he would eat the 1/4 pounder 100 times out of 100. Oh yea, no fries, or soda with that. hahaha. It really makes you think about how much wrong information is being pumped into society, and why we are the fattest country in the world. Just thought I would share that. It really made me see the "zone" in a different way. See ya soon JB

FN double unders

2009-01-20T14:51:00.002-05:00

Well started my wod 205# on the bar 21 reps. Then came the most frustrated I have been in a while. Coach and I started our d/u's at the same time. He did his 50 and was about half way through his next dl's and I was on 15. Getting one du for about every 3 trys. So I went to singles and have been so frustrated I even ate a shitty lunch. I am over it now, but still dealing with the bad lunch. I HATE D/U'S!!!!!!! they will be my new goal.

Sore Monday

2009-01-19T11:00:00.002-05:00

OOOOHHH my!!! I am back to work today and barely walking. I did not know my legs could be so sore. I honestly think it is as sore as I have ever been. Yes, it still feels good though. You know what i mean. (we are all sick like that) I had an incredible weekend and can't wait to put all of the knowledge to good use. In my own training and helping others achieve more in their training. I did take today off, but will be back tomorrow. My diet was strict all weekend, except for a few beers, and a cheat meal sun. night. Back to strict today. I will post a crazy zone fact I learned this weekend later. stay tuned!
JB

AWESOME

2009-01-17T18:53:00.002-05:00

Day 1 of my level I cert is over. WOW! So much knowledge these people hold. We did tabata bottom to bottom squats. Well on your 10 seconds of rest you are in the bottom of the squat, and that is your starting position!!!! OUCH! Then in the afternoon we did team workout. 8 member teams: 800m run, 400 95# thrusters (the team did 400) 800 run, 400 jumping pullups, 800 run. We did 27 minutes and came in 2nd. We could not start the next exercise until the whole team completed. Double OUCH!!!!! Then we drank beers out of the cooler! Much deserved. Can't wait to be done and get back so J and I can really start on everybody!!! See ya JB

Hump Day

2009-01-14T13:16:00.002-05:00

I wish!! haha Today sucked. The cnj's took me 10 minutes. Seriously 10 minutes I timed them. I knew 155 was heavy for me (x20), but that was way too long. I'll get over it eventually. Diet has been great. yesterday was strict at work (one little slip-diet mountain dew) yea, it was good. I am feeling much better from all of the holiday junk food. See ya soon, JB

Manic Monday

2009-01-12T17:21:00.002-05:00

Good sleep sun. but not on sat. was at work. Up this a.m. with new found excitement on the nutrition side of things. Downloaded a few of rob wolf's articles and like what he has to say about the zone. It is not as black and white as I was trying to make it. He is not worried about the exact ratios every meal as long as you are watching your glyc. index and caloric intake. Anyway heavy worksets of 3's on deadlifts today. Felt really good with 300 and probably could have gone higher. I love doing dl's. A couple slips this weekend on the diet but not too bad. back strict today. That article is "42 ways to skin the zone" if you can't find it shoot me an email and I'll send you the whole collection I think I have 4 or 5 articles from wolf. Bed early 2nite have to go to 5am tue. See you. JB
bubbyb29@comcast.net

It's about time!!!!

2009-01-08T17:26:00.002-05:00

Well the new year is rolling, and so am I. I have been clean (strict) zone since mon. the 5th. Sore from this week so far, but feels great. I will be back on the blog regular now. I feel that it helps keep me honest even if no one reads. I feel a little bad about today's wod I did the knotted (naughty) rope. My arms are so sore from fran and pc's, but that is no excuse. Next rope climb I will do the straight rope no matter how much time it adds. Is it possible for nobody to win tonight??? Boo Gators!!!!

Wow

2008-10-28T10:54:00.002-04:00

Today was a nice wod. I feel so weak, I only did 65# and it took 28 minutes. Oh well, if thats all I got now, thats all I got. It is nice to be somewhat back. At least I know now every wod I will be improving on my current status. I am so sore from barbara yesterday. I know today will be worse. A little nippy this a.m. huh!? I am strictly following the zone again, "as opposed to very loosely" following it. When I first got out of the hospital it was easy to not eat junk. Then with so much going on in my head it was too easy to fall back on the comfort foods of old. Also old habits. Then the guilt would set in and I would be good for like a day. Now I think doing wods will help. See all soon. JB

Guess Who's on-site?

2008-10-23T10:18:00.002-04:00

Well I was on site lastnight for a little run through on a few exercises. Nothing hard just rom stuff and I did 4x500 on the rower. All felt pretty good. So that leads me to today. I showed up at 8am and decided to scale the wod. I did wbs (20#) instead of box jumps. Wow, 5 weeks of doing nothing will kill you. I scored a 221 and felt like I could die. My whole body was shaking. I will let you know how I feel later!!! I really had a hard time getting through the rounds. I knew I would be at square one, but I kinda hoped I would have done better. I really have no expectations for my wods yet, just want to get through them. Slow and steady. Patty has everyone on look out to make sure I don't do anything too extreme. My grafts are good a little rom problem, but the main reason I am scaling is still my mcl. My knee is tender. Oh yea, what's the zone? hahaha. need to get strict! My next steady goal. See all soon.

Yesterday I went to the gym with Patty to watch the 8am crew do the wod. I realized how much I miss it. I also realized how limited I am still. I think a few air squats is all I am capable of. I can't even get both hands over my head to grab the pull up bar! I am using this week to get back into the zone. Now that I have stopped taking pain meds and my insides are trying to get back to normal. Hopefully the Dr will tell me something good tomorrow, and I can soon get back to something. Talk to all of you later, miss you. JB

I MISS THE WODS

2008-10-03T14:53:00.002-04:00

Hey all, I am healing fine. Still uncomfortable, but managing. Trying to get off the pain pills and am almost there. Only taking a couple a day. I really want to work out. I can't even do an air squat. I cant sweat yet, because of my skin graphs. So maybe next week the Dr. will have more news for me. There are some pics and updates on my other blog www.jasonbrod.blogspot.com I miss all of you and hope to see you soon. JB

Love to hate today's wod. One of those nasty great ones. W and G together are my weakest wod's. Got to work a couple mucsles to failure. You know thats why I came early, just to do it. Bfast wasn't until 9 so I was starvin. Much better now. Will update later with 2nd wod stats. see ya.

2008-09-17T10:05:00.002-04:00

Wow! Today's wod made my legs burn. Did the last 500 suck or what? I did a 13:11, big shout to the girls for their smokin times. You ladies rock! Felt good on today's triple mod. Had some yogurt, cottage cheese and grapefruit for bfast, oh yea don't forget the smoked almonds. Lots to do so I will update later. Have a great hump day!

Today's wod was good, I did rx'd in 16:40 last time I did 65# in 15:59 That is a 30# increase since May 13. My hands are still wrecked from Sat. It hurt to do the burpees yesterday, even grabbing the bar today for OHS hurt. Food has been good considering this weekend. Really this weekend was bad. Saturday I knew and planned on being bad. Sunday on the other hand I was an uncontrolable eating machine. It was like I could not stop. I finally told myself enough. I wonder what goes off in our heads that makes us do that? Oh well, back on track now. I know the slips will happen and sometimes they are needed.

Monday at work, will do the burpee wod today sometime today. A bit sore still from "badger" wow! Ate horrible all weekend and drank, so I will be strict all week to get back. Blog ya later with an update. JB

OK just did the burpee wod in 16:45 it sucks! See all tomorrow!

Friday, that means more football soon. Have I told how much I love fball season? At work today so I will do a little shoulder press and try to get some rest for "Badger", hope that goes as planned. Still sore, long week of wod's had 2 days of 2 workouts. I still have some soreness. See ya tomorrow. JB

9/11..... Take minute to remember

http://www.fdnylodd.com/9-11-Never-Forget/Memorials/Blood-Of-Heroes.html

Some people tend to forget what happened that day. When that was the day we vowed to "never forget". Now seven years later most people have a 9-10-01 attitude. Remember where you were? Remember how you felt? Remember, "all gave some, but some gave all!" Say a little prayer today and God Bless America.

Wed. already! Hit wod yesterday @ 5a.m. cuz I had to work. Back to 8 this morning. Nice MWG, triple mods always smoke me. Felt pretty good today. 10:49, beat by the girls again (that's ok I like it!!). You girls do truly push me and we don't even workout together. Imagine if we were all together all the time. We would probably be dead!!! haha Nice job today! Had bfast and will be doing a shit load of paperwork today. Will probably be at open gym. Maybe I'll see you there. JB

2008-09-07T17:31:00.002-04:00

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, football action like youv'e never seen before. OK maybe not that dramatic, but the Dolphins did give me a heartattack. So close. Cauaght an awesome workout this a.m. wow it was tough, but great. Zone food all day and a beer. Of course football what more could you want. See all tomorrow for metcon monday!!!

2008-09-05T11:47:00.002-04:00

Wow today's wod kicked my ass. Did almost 7 rounds rx'd, but that 95# was heavy. Don't know if I am a little sore from the week or what? I was struggling to keep form. I do know that the technical lifts mixed with something else are my weak wods. I guess I will get better with time. Still strict zone, one little cheat for lunch yesterday. (All coaches fault!!! haha) mine wasn't that bad. I will do some sort of wod at work tomorrow, and then I will stretch.... I feel a good stretch coming on. Everyone have a great weekend. talk to you soon. JB

Killer wod this morning! I love to hate the triple mod's, they kick my ass. Got 250, was trying to keep consistent reps for each round. Nice job to the girls for kicking my ass. You ladies give me something to shoot for every morning when I see the white board. At least I know what scores I won't be getting. haha! Must go need food. talk to ya later. JB

Fun at work! Did today's wod here at the station, nice one. Found a little soreness in my back, but nothing major. Thanks deadlifts. Nice and strict on the zone today, not even any coffee! that won't happen tomorrow!! Was strict all day and was also hungry a couple times. Maybe that is why I have been having "cheats" and been stuck on 199. Will be strict for the next couple weeks. Cya. JB

2008-09-02T14:43:00.002-04:00

Feel good today, like the deadlifts. 325 was my goal going in and I wound up doing 335. It felt really good. Patty was stronger than she thought and she did great for never doing any lifting ever. Good bfast, costco, publix trip, and a good lunch. Too much stuff to do, will see ya later.

Sunday, at work today. Lazy day yesterday after the fifty. went to Edison's for a non zone lunch, beers, and football.... I guess gator fball is better than no fball. The rest of the day was very restful and kind of zone friendly. Did not really eat dinner though. Had a zone bar late afternoon and one before bed. I really have not been super strict and I should be a little more. Yesterday's fifty bunch was awesome. I like those workouts with everyone. Had horrible bfast this a.m. Tasted great, but not real healthy. So for lunch and dinner I will be weighing and measuring. I'm sure I will get a light work out today, that will be later. Everyone have a great weekend and labor day.

No lunch, ahhhhhh! (work always messes up eating times) had a zb and worked out. Did pushup fran(no pull up bar) and 8,8,8,5,5,5,3,3,3 of dumbbell pushpress up to 60#. Then did tabata treadmill 7.5 incline @ 8mph. Not bad for Sun.

2008-08-29T13:10:00.002-04:00

Nice little 2 mile stroll this a.m. Was happy with 14:00, but think there was some left in the tank. Oh well that is the fastest I ever ran 2 miles, I bet. Ready for the fifty now bring it on. Will be strict zone today and off to bed early. zzzzzzzzz Cant wait to have a beer afterwards. hahaha See everyone tomorrow. JB

Busy day. Did not get up early for wod this morning before work. Two wod's yesterday ko'd me. Need to be fresh for the fifty!!! I did do today's wod, kind of. Did 5 sets of 100' walking lunges with the 45# bar overhead, and 10 burpees. Do not have a rope to climb. Still the lunges sucked arse. Been in the zone strict for a few days now, after the bad weekend. Feel much better. cya 8am
