Mediocre Runners

I did a fairly decent job hitting CF workouts last week, however I completely slept (literally slept in) on CFE workouts.  Soooo, I’ll be doing three this week for punishment.  And I’m doing CFE workouts starting BEFORE 5am!  That’ll teach me, huh?  Ok, here’s the upcoming schedule:

CF: Mon Tues Thurs Fri Sat

CFE: Mon Thurs Sat

In addition to the 8 workouts, I’ll start Zoning.  Crossfit subscribes to it, so I’ll keep you posted on how it goes for me over the next 30 days.  I figure I’ll give it a shot and see how my CF improves and how my overall body feels/looks.  The good news is you do eat carbs, which Sam Adams Octoberfest is part of.  Mmm….I love this time of year!  Well because I am mediocre, I’ll be eating 18 blocks.  Basically, a “block” is an easier unit of measurement for food.  So, 7 grams of protein = 1 block, 9 grams of carbs = 1 block, and 1.5 grams of fat = 1 block.  The idea is to eat equal blocks for every meal, which will essentially give you a 30/40/30 (P/C/F) breakdown in your daily nutrition.  I’ll try to eat 5 blocks per meal with a couple snacks throughout the day thrown in there to get my 18.  It’s kind of a pain weighing and measuring food, but I think it’ll pay off in the end.  Stay tuned!
