I am weak. The WOD I did today with Dave H sounds quite easy, yet it kicked my ass. I have learned that my shoulders are quite tight. I have also remembered why I would cut back the intensity on some workouts. It has to do with my job performance, I have to be able walk and run. After Tuesdays workout I am sure if needed I could run but I would not be near my best. I need to remember that I have to go full bore when the after effects won't harm my job performance. I do still feel like puking after several WOD's a month., but perhaps not enough.
I think my diet though improved will be a large obstacle to me making my goals. I find it hard to impose my diet on my wife and daughter.

The beginning
This blog is an opportunity to record and share my journey from man to beast. I started crossfit on my own about April 1, 2007, after Dave H told me about. Since that time I have done only crossfit, One exercise with Steve S, and two with Dave H. I also worked one morning with an Olympic Weightlifting coach. Other then that I have been on my own. Most people in my gymn have just looked at me like I'm crazy and even question whether or not I know what I am doing in the gymn. A few people get it and we just smile and continue to work.
In the beginning:
Workouts: mainly weights or running heavily influenced by body building type workouts.
Fitness level: for Globo gymn I was average. For crossfit not even close.
Weight: 195lbs
Height 6'0"
Diet: Poor to say the least. Few fruits and veggies, lots of pasta. Very irregular meals.
After about three months:
Workouts: Crossfit
Fitness level: Beginning to make a mark on the crossfit scale. Still a beginner CFT
Weight: 177lbs+-
Height: N/C
Diet: Zone like. Lots more fruits and veggies virtually no pasta, breads were of the wholegrain with flaxseed variety. I say zone like because I did not weigh anything and basically followed the idea after reading the book of increased protein and healthy fats and making sure everytie I ate I had carbs protein and fat.
February 2008:
Workouts: N/C
Fitness level: greatly improved can do many of the WOD's as Rx'd or close to it.
Weight: N/C
Diet: Not much of a change, trying harder to get things into blocks and have 4-2-4-2-4-2 day.
This marks a change in my workouts as well as now I am training with Dave H at a Crossfit gymn when the time allows. First w/o yesterday, with dave H. Today If I was horse I would be on my way to the glue factory.
4rnds of 50 squats and 500m row. 18:24 not great but it was after some good squat therapy.
my splits were fairly consistent for the row. 1:58:8/1:59:0/2:02:6/1:57:8.
The transformation begins!!
