January Update

Its been a while since my last post and not for any good reason but I will try to sum up the last few weeks.

X-Mas was tough. I am a creature of habit, I like my routines and when my routines are messed with I fall apart. I continually tell my girlfriend that I am a simple man and I truly believe that. I feel like my needs are simple, I get up go to work go to gym go home sleep start over. Very little changes from day to day and that is fine but when you throw in Christmas parties, long weekends, booze and sweets I get crazy. My diet goes to shit and my self control more closely reassembles a 10 year old with ADHD who got into his mom's diet pills than an adult. Lets just call it like it is I was lazy and ate and drank like it was my job.

Got to go watch the USC Trojans smash Penn St in the Rose Bowl on Jan 1st. That really has nothing to do with this I just wanted to put that out there.

Now that things are getting back I feel like I am starting to make some gains. I have been doing a consistent schedule now of

Monday:
6pm Crossfit
8pm O-lift

Tuesday:
6pm Crossfit

Wednesday:
6pm Crossfit
(8pm O-Lift I take if I missed Monday O-Lift)

Thursday:
off

Friday:
630pm Crossfit

Saturday
7am Mt Wilson Trail Race training run
9am Crossfit
10am O-lift

Sunday:
Off or Run

The O-lift classes are whats really helping me. My strength is not bad but my technique is coming along making my lifts better and better. I seem to PR every class.

My body weight is starting to tick down and although I have been bad at it I am still zoning. My tendency is to be pretty good all day then it goes to shit at night but I am getting better and the more I do it the easier its getting. I really think losing about 10lbs will do me wonders.

I feel good about where I am right now considering my activity level form July through September. Now if I can stay close to the zone and keep going to the gym I will be ok.

Now I need to start getting back to the things I love/hate and that's endurance work. I broke out "The Hate Machine" this week and now I'm running at least once a week.

I will post some of my current PR's soon and keep them update
