CrossFit at 6AM. Tomas, Tyler, Will, Steve, Eric, Dave, Miranda, Caryn, Laura, and Brett with Brian coaching.

Felt a bit stronger on my pull up work prior to class this morning.

One movement for the workout today. Squats.

I have a really hard time getting to the right depth with squats. Ok, let’s tell the truth, I simply can’t get down far enough so I go as low as I can. I really pushed to get through minute 24. I knew that the back squats would be easier for me. My depth on the back squat was much better.

The workout this morning was nothing but squats starting with 1 and then adding 1 each minute. By some wild quirk of fate I ended up going neck and neck with Miranda to the finish.

I doubt I will be able to walk tomorrow.

Eating—It was weight in day again. I really though about going to the bathroom prior to weighing. Perhaps I would be able to drain out a 10th of a pound. I really did not want to face any increase over 240.2 last week.

Some how I managed to stay exactly the same, 240.2 again this week. So the good news is that I did not gain. 240.2 is what I am suppose to weigh today. I am kind of hoping that I don’t have to go another 3 weeks for another loss but I am just going to stay on the Paleo plan.

What hurts today—Heel continues to improve and I continue to work on the stretching. I am really glad I broke down and went to the doc. It is great to be able to walk without that constant pain. Left forearm hurting from pull ups. No backache and no headache. Feeling good.

Fish Oil—Finished up my last two tablespoons of my first bottle this morning. I started on the bottle 9/11 so I made it 15 days. The bottle was $25.00 (tax, shipping) so that is about $1.66 a day for fish oil. At this rate I need to order some more while they are still on sale. Never know when that sale will go off.

The two bottles I have now are orange flavor. I like the lemon flavor much more than the orange.

Here is a link to the product I am using on Amazon.

CrossFit 101—We are getting a lot of sign ups for the CrossFit 101 with Coach Glassman on 11/28. In less that two months we will be in the new building and hosting the founder of CrossFit in the new gym. Things are going to get busy.

No class tomorrow so I get two days of rest. I need it.

Here is a picture of Chris and I going at the push press during FBG last Saturday.

What is a baby boomer?
People born between (and including) 1946 and 1964. After American soldiers returned home from World War II in1946, the United States experienced an explosion of births (hence the name baby boom) that continued for the next 18 years, when the birth rate began to drop. In 1964, baby boomers represented 40% of the population, which means that more than one third of the population was under 19 years of age. In the 1990s, approximately 76 million people in the United States were born in the baby boom years, representing approximately 29% of the country's population. Since baby boomers make up such a sizable portion of the consuming public, their spending habits and lifestyles have a powerful influence on the economy.
