Yesterday was more of the same. I did a workout that entailed 25 pushups, 25 pullsups, 25 burpees for 5 rounds for time. I did it in 26:30 which isn't bad but not great either. I have felt average in my workouts for quite some time now. I guess I am waiting for a tough workout which I just breeze through, which will not happen in crossfit.

Here is what I ate on wednesday. Please note that this is a really strict diet with the primary focus on gaining lean tissue (slabs of plumpy muscle). If you are reading this and would like to follow a diet with the goal of weight loss in mind, eat the fruits and veggies but just curtail the fat consumption to a small fraction. I am eating 5 times the fat I usually would so maybe follow this and eat 20% the fats I have listed, if you have fat loss in mind.

Post-workout Breakfast (4 block): 1 cup of pumpkin, 1/2 cup of apple sauce w/ 1 splenda
1 cup of skim milk and 2 tbsp of peanut butter
2 whole eggs and 2 egg whites
1/4 cup of cashews

Lunch (4block): 1 whole avocado w/ 4 oz. of 96% lean ground beef
4 cups of broccoli w/ 2 tbsp of olive oil-based dressing
1/2 cup of pumpkin w 1/2 cup of apple sauce

Snack (2 block): 2 sting cheeses, 1 pear, 1/4 cashews

Dinner (4 blocks): 4 oz. of chicken cooked in 1/2 onion, 2 tbsp of peanuts, and 1/2 tbsp of olive oil (garlic flavored)
1 cucumber, 2 roma tomatoes, 1/2 tbsp of olive oil all mixed together with 2 tbsp of grated parmesan cheese
desser: 1/2 apple w/ chili and lime juice (I have a mexican girlfriend)

Snack (2 blocks): 1/2 cup of fat free cottage cheese, 1 apple, and 1/4 smoked almonds



I hope this helps enyone out there who is curious about nutrition or would like to amplify their performance. I will gladly take any questions and address them in future posts.

Cheers,
