Ron, Tom and Eric with Brian coaching.

Had a good nights sleep and feeling better this morning.

Still being a little upset about no weight loss in my weigh in yesterday I jumped on the scale just to see if it came out at 251 again. I still had the thought in the back of my head that maybe the scales are broken. I was really happy to see 249 pop up. That made me feel good and confirmed that what I am doing is working even though the results are slow and don’t reflect on the scale the day I think they should.

Worked on planks for our warm up and the Rings for our skill.

The WOD included bodyweight (as the Rx) deadlifts. I enjoy the deadlifts and do well with them. If it just requires picking up something heavy I can do it. I went with 255 lbs, Ron at 205 lbs, Eric at 170 lbs and Tom at 135 lbs.

A big issue with the deadlifts for me is a period of dizziness after I complete the deadlifts. Part of that could be a side effect of the Flomax I take. Anyway, to go directly from the deadlifts to the box jumps I have to take a few seconds to recover. If we were doing pushups right after the deadlifts that would work perfect. I could just fall down.

I did do actual box jumps for the first 5 sets, going to step ups on round 6. Still using the short box. Eric and Ron were going 26 inches and Tom about 18 inches.

What hurts today?—Cold almost gone. Ache in left arm is back after starting workouts up again. Also left shoulder. Knees and right shoulder OK.

Eating—Continues on track. Glad about the 2 lbs on the scale this morning. Just need to keep it up until next weigh in on Monday.
