Day 177

Christmas Eve WOD at the box today!

PARTNER WOD1: 8 MIN AMRAP
15 adjusted push ups
10 6kg medball clean
100m run
Rounds: 4+25
--2MIN REST--
PARTNER WOD 2: 8 MIN AMRAP
10 25kg thrusters (other partner holds 10kg plate over head)
10 plate burpees
Rounds: 4+6 
--2MIN REST--
PARTNER WOD3: COLLECTIVE MAX CLEAN IN 8 MIN
I cleaned 42.5kg [NEW PR!!!!]
Group total (3ppl): 107.5kg

Today's WOD was pretty fun. It was short, movements were simple and it really tested power through intensity. Even though I felt as if I could have cleaned 45kg, i'm happy with 42.5 as it is a new personal record.

My room is finally starting neat and tidy! I have to get my room into shape before I leave for camp so little animals (mainly mice and cockroaches) don't move in whilst i'm gone!!

Today I also baked a vegetable dish with tofu - it's high in protein - to take with me on my camp. This is so I don't have to settle for instant noodles or plain rice... My family isn't very vegan friendly lol. But it's ok! I am coming prepared!

IF (window 11am-7pm):
8am - coffee
11am - banana icecream
2:30pm - turkish bread with pasta sauce and veggies
5pm - veggie rice paper rolls with a peanut butter dipping sauce

Day 176

I woke up a little tired as I got home at around 9pm from my workout at 7. I don't think I fell asleep to maybe midnight... I need to work on getting some valuable sleep. But as always, the grind is on! And I woke up at around 5AM.

Today was a little more productive than yesterday. I hung up a pile of clothes. I still have a huge mess on the ground... I've been trying to meal plan what i'll be eating during my camp in a few days. I want to start eating more without gaining any/much body fat, so my foods are going to have to be clean! I also believe I can mesh a little bulk along side IF.

IF diet diary:
5am - 9am: fasted with 1 scoop of BCAAs
9am - 11am/12pm: fasted with 1 coffee
12pm: oatmeal
2/3pm: smoothie
5pm: rice and leftover cauliflower, a chickpea/hommus/tomato pressed sandwich
Water: 4-5 600ml bottles

Watched the new Star Wars movie today! It was GOOD but I felt as if they took took long in getting to the point in some scenes. After I headed out to Newtown for lunch and my dose of Gelato Blue.

I had the "curry" plate which included mixed vegetables, black-eyed beans, rice, papadum and salad. Lentil As Anything is literally my favourite place to eat at! If it wasn't so far, i'd visit more often.



I dropped by Gelato Blue at one of the best times... Happy hour! Each scoop is $3.50, as opposed to the regular $5. I'm holding the caramel in my left and mango in my right. Mhmm!

IF is going good btw!
6am-9am (workout): 2.4L water. No preworkout or intraworkout today.
10am: 1L BCAAs
2:30pm: curry and then gelato
6pm: watermelon and spiced soy hot chocolate
Calories =  approx 1200 and i'm not even feeling hungry.

If I had meal prepped 1200 calories over 5-6 meals, i'd most probably still be feeling a little peckish. But IF allows me to have big meals which leave me satisfied. I don't normally eat this little though. I was out for the majority of the morning/early afternoon and I go to bed early, so my feeding window was unintentionally shortened. I normally consume around 2000-2400 calories.

2xmax pull ups (9 for each)

200m run

I didn't really feel like working out after but I didn't want to just go home... So I practiced DUs for 20-30 mins, did 3x5 20kg bench presses and 20 sit ups. There was no focus in this extra work out. I should have just done the CrossFit WOD again! Ugh, I think I will just do double WODs from now on since I have no proper program to follow afterwards....

Attempted an escape room with my friends today! It was FUN. We failed... so many times. We received LOTS of help from the directors and took way too long haha. But it was good and I would attempt another escape room again!

11AM Meal 1: mangoes
2:30PM Meal 2: 6 plates of sushi, vegan choices of course!
