Ok, the PLP is getting to be no funand I am only half way there. Not really it is not too bad it is all the other stuff I do with it. Like 100 45 lbs KB and 26 burpees today. So 30 was the count for the PLP.

I changed tactics to make it a bit easier.
10-Kb 10 burpees 10 pull ups
10 KB 10 lunges 10 push ups
10 KB 10 burpees 10 pull ups
10 KB 10 lunges
10 KB 10 push ups
10 KB 6 burpees
10 Kb 10 pull ups
10 KB 10 lunges
10 KB 10 push ups
10 KB
It is not that much eaiser. I then did a very Baby "Isabelle" 30 snatches with 65 lbs in 2:13 Should of gone heavier, next time I will do the girls weight :)


I have been getting in more protein, I was feeling very drained. I am happy with the weight loss. I want to go a bit farther with it, then worry if I have lost any muscle. I don't think I have, just not much endurance.

Make this a great week.

Well, I went out this morning to get in my Kb's and burpees in. I have to say this was the first time I believe I bonked. I had not ate since 4 pm the day before, I could tell while out there. The last 50 KB's just killed me. I broke the up way too much, I actuall thought about not getting in my 100. I pushed through it.

I have been remodling part of the kitchen this week. So when not working out I am doing that. I hate waiting for mud to dry.

6-ish got out and hit my PLP 28 reps today. I have to say lunges are way easier with out the wall ball and back pack with weight. Almost like cheating :) After 30 will be back at the extra weight.

Hope you have a super weekend.

I decided to break up some of the excersizes I have been doing, they were getting too much. So today I got out early and did the KB's and burpees. 50 KB's then 16 burpees, then finished up the 50 other KB's. I had to break up the last 50, got to 35 then break.

At lunch I got out and ran 3.6 miles. Legs felt like crap, they did not want to work at all. They started to feel better around mile 1. It was not the fastest run but I did get it in.

Then after dinner I went out and did 25 reps of PLP. So glad I get to drop the pack tomorrow. Might be easier on me tomorrow, I hope.

Have a great day tomorrow.

Typical breakfast- veggies and turkey bacon. It was from yesterday. This morning was PB and banana wrap. Dinner was wild salmon with asparagus wrapped with prosciutto, with corn on the side.


I really hate plumbing!!!!!!!!!!!




Between changing out three electrical boxes to one and plumbing in for the ice machine it took 5 hours. Do you know how much water squirts out while your running from the valve 150' away? Do that a couple of times and when hunny got home I was pretty pissy.

I went out at 7:10 to get in my 100 KB, 14 burpee's, 24 PLP. Man the lunges turn's my legs to jello. I leave quite the puddle on the mat.
On to tomorrow!

Nothing much going on today. I have been remodel all day. Coated a bedroom, reframed the entry to our bedroom. Then got the rock up on all but one wall in the kitchen.

I timed my warm up today 19:02
100 KB @ 40 lbs
12 burpees
23 reps of PLP with weights in pack.

I then did back squats 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 I topped out at 205, not a lot but I felt pretty good with it. I should be up at 265-270, I will get back up there.

Well I missed posting yesterday. Not much new, KB's, burpees and PLP then into push jerk from behind the head. 1-1-1-1-1-1-1. Not much of a jerk more like push presses. I can't get my knee's to bend to get under the bar. I got up to 150 lbs. I was done after that.

Today, I got up early and got in a nice 2 mile run. Then spent the rest of the day working on the house. I got the closet framed up and the room hung and taped. That leaves only a little corner of the kitchen to rock and I will have replaced every piece of wall in our house.

I did get in my Kb's--100 burpees--10 PLP--22 after the second set of KB's I then put on the pack with 15lbs in it. Man o man, doing the lunges with the pack and the wall ball overhead is plain mean.

I hope you have a great week ahead of you all. Give it your best.

Linner: left over veggies with mushrooms and chicken.



I then added these chicken sausages, I fake it a lot with food. This one worked really good.



Today haul from the garden. Two nice red cabbage and our first spaghetti squash, it is a really good thing we like the squash because we will have a lot. Probably 20+ growing on the vine right now.



This pic shows the spaghetti squash growing out of the green house.


Today was a good day.
I started with 20 KB swings--
my 4 burpees--
20 KB--
19 pull ups--
20 KB--
19 lunges--
20 KB--
19 push ups--
20 KB--
This got a good sweat going.

I took 5 minutes then set up the deadlift @ 185
The crossfit workout of the day was,
as many rounds as you can do in 12 minutes.
400 meter run
5 DL
I got in 4 full rounds @ 11:58 I gotta tell you this was my first runs since doing in my back. So it was quite the test for my back, I was gasping for air after the runs but I made sure I set myself for the DL. Could I have gone heavier? Maybe, could I have been done for a few weeks as well, sure. So great choice on my part.

Hope you all had a productive day as well.

This mornings pic.



At the end of the 7 day mini. 6 lbs difference from then to now.

Started the 52DC today. Lots of stuff going on around here. I am seeing a phycologist, hoping to get me out of my funk, time to get on with life. Dr has me on wellbutrin it has really helped me.


I have not lifted since I threw out my back during the last 52DC. It feels really good. Todays workout started with
20 Kb @ 35 lbs--
2 burpees--
20 KB--
PLP 18 pull ups (no extra weights) I had used a backpack with 15 lbs in it to do my PLP up to 15 reps. I will go back to the backpack @ 20 reps.
20 KB--
18 lunges (these I do with my 18.8 lbs wallball overhead. I do these also with the backpack, so I did these with 34 extra lbs with the pack.
20 KB--
18 push ups (I start wide, then bring them in as I get tired) W/backpack too.
20 KB--

Then on to front squats. Nothing impressive but I did them and could walk after. Started @ 115x3-- 125x3-- 130x3-- 135x3-- Started to fall forward in the squat so called it good.

Food: Onions, bell and sweet peppers, spinach and ham. Eggs were on the side, 4 of them. Steak and some beans and 1+ cups of mixed veggies, for dinner.
After doing the 7 day mini our eating has changed, we eat twice a day now. Breakfast is later in the morning 8-10 ish. Dinner has been early for a while, before my wife goes to work, 4-4:30. Snacking has disappeared all together, no dairy and the only wheat I have is a wrap, PB and banana for breakfast, twice a week.

So since the last challenge I have lost 15 lbs. I am going to work very hard to keep it going.





Not a bad first day.
