Ok so I'm still on the bus. I got off the bus on Saturday for a little while but I didn't go too nuts. I got off on Saturday at the USC-UCLA game but that is a solid excuse. I ate a pre-made salad at a Raiders game on Thursday at the tailgate while everyone else had hot dogs and beer. I felt like a total gay but I sucked it up. In the past this kind of weekend would have been the kiss of death.
Old Pat logic:
Thursday:
"I'm at a football game; you can’t be on a diet at a football game. Just have a few beers and its not a big deal."
Friday:
Morning: "Well its Friday and you broke the diet yesterday what’s the big deal it’s just one bagel."
At lunch a couple hours later: "It is Friday and you already f-ed up breakfast, screw it give me a western bacon double cheeseburger!"
That night: "Well I had a bad day no reason to clean it up now, give me a 22oz Fat Tire and a plate of fries with that french dip"
Saturday:
"Its game day, I can’t eat clean at a football stadium, I'll take two bacon wrapped hot dogs along with 4 more beers please."
Sunday:
"Well I already blew this weekend, I will just eat whatever I want today then start all over again on Monday. Yeah that’s what I will do, back on the bus on Monday this time for real (sound of beer bottle opening at 10am.)"
I could have easily justified blowing the zone out for the extended weekend but I held strong(ish) and only gave in a little.
I am sure there are others that do this same thing but I was able to keep it together; for the most part. Saturday I did the "game day mentality and ate like a pig. Sunday I ate clean till dinner then had sushi and a beer. Not too bad. I know I should limit it to cheat MEALS not cheat DAYS but hey its game day and my Trojans had bruins to beat.
Had some good WODs last week caped off with "Death" on Friday. It wiped me out and my legs are still killing me today. I skipped workouts on Saturday because of the game and dinner with the in-laws then Sunday it was a mixture of laziness and conservation. My legs are still shot and my hip was bugging me on Friday so it was a good thing to give it another rest. (That is how I justify it so go to hell if you think it’s a lame excuse)

Did you row 1000m after each of the rounds or just one round of 1000m and then 21-15-9?
Our wod was "Fran on 'roids:"
21-18-15-12-9-6-3
-lunges
- 95# thrusters
- pullups
- KTE
35:14, rx'd
I used 98# because of our stupid bar. Going from pullups to KTE absolutely blew. This one sucked so bad. It was only me and one other guy this morning. Weak.
It was 3 full rounds of all of it. In total it was 3k row, and 135x front squat and sit-up.
That sounds hard. I did KTE last night. I hate them but after pull-ups I would really hate them
