Daily Food Diary

Here is the question... How can I dial-in my diet?

Answer... Write down everything you eat for a week and see where you fall short.
Everything seems to be a formula?... Well, this is because your body is a machine and if your machine needs rocket fuel, don't put regular gas in it!!! You need to give you body what it wants and for me with my CrossFit training and Judo and CFE... I need to pump rocket fuel into my system.

As I finished "The Hard Routine" I came to understand how much diet plays into everyday fitness and then into elite fitness. I use Dr. Barry Sears-Zone Diet- to track my intake and measure my foods. This week Jordan and I will be doing another experiment in nutrition... we will be recording our food. Everything and I mean everything...

Fasting-Day One

Last night in the car with JoJo we talked about what it was to fast. We talked about the spiritual aspects and the health aspects and the communal aspects... we talked about when we use to fast at "The Treehouse" and what it did to us as a couple. Fasting brought us together with one focus. We prayed, talked, complained and then ate together. I read a book called,"The Spirit of the Disciplines" by Dallas Willard and learned about the deepness and freedom that comes from fasting.

Last night after Jordan and I ate dinner I started my fast. I will continue the fast until Wednesday night. I will break the fast with Jordan and comm group. It will be a total of 48 hours where I will only drink water and some juices such as beets, carrots, apples, and tomatoes. The juices are for the health benefits that come from a fast.

WOD:
Run 1 mile (5:28)
Two minutes of each:
Row (Concept 2 Rower at level 7) (29)
30 pound Dumbbell thrusters (31)
20 pound Medicine ball cleans (16)

My total was 136 and my mile was 5:28
