Check in…Vadim

-weighed in at the tank at 191, todays weight 9:00pm 190.5- this was on a household scale after a wod (i usually drink 2-3 of my water bottles full. might be a couple pounds plus i haven't dueced in a while). I'm gonna weigh in again tomorrow morning for a better update.
-my thoughts on this: Kinda pissed I've been working hard and haven't shed a pound. At the same time, my pants are fitting loser and I'm getting way stronger.
- As i remember 3-4 weeks ago i struggled to OHS 95lb, today I slayed 165 twice. I couldn't squat 185 more than a couple times comfortably, now I do 225 5x5.
-Today's WOD- 21-18-15-12-9-6-3 cleans and 300m runs I murdered 7:20 (second to finish at 7pm!). I only broke on the 21 and 18 at ten, and i beat Cullen by 8 seconds(awesome!). No cheating honestly! This for me is far better than seeing the scale read 185 or something like that.
-Yesterdays WOD the 10 burpees 10 lunges and 200m row, 6:something, but I finished first. That also was an amazing feeling.
-Diet: I'm not following any diet but I am staying consistent. I think it may be time for me to start one though if i want to shed those pounds. This is what my typical mon-fri looks like:

5:30 wake up

-preworkout mix (Jack3d) and shower to wake up

6:00-7:00 gym: strength and core/abs

-Breakfast: Protein shake (25g Protein 130cal), Oatmeal and raisins/or fruit if we got it, or 3 eggs scrambled no salt just a little Tapotio

-Lunch at 1:00 (I eat lunch at 1:00 instead of 12:00 so I dont get to hungry by the time I gotta go back to the gym at 6:00) Lunch is always mixed veggies (unmeasured) some sort of salad. lots of greens like spinach, tomatoes, onions, carrots, whatever healthy stuff i can get my hands on. Salad dressing is always a little Olive oil and pomegranate vinaigrette. And a nice chunk of chicken, salmon, or any other healthy looking meat we got. Eat around the skin and fat.

5:00pm I cruise home from work and if I need to, I grab a handful of almonds from my stash in the center console :)

5:30 arrive home, another scoop of preworkout mix

6:00-7:00 Crossfit Class: whatever that may be

7:30 Protein shake and a light snack: Maybe a little salad or a little meat. I generally am not very hungry but try to eat something to keep my metabolism up and to refuel.

8:00 bum around and recover. sometimes this includes a small glass of red wine to help me crash out and get a good night sleep. I'm usually pretty juiced until late so i sneak a glass of wine to help me sleep better without waking up randomly.

**side note- If you've ever seen my green Gatorade bottle, I carry it with me everywhere and try to just drink water non stop. It's always in the back of my mind to just chug even if i"m not thirsty.
-Never drink soda or juices
-And this diet is pretty routine, never sandwiches or pizza or any other kaka like that (today i had sushi though, but that's only because my boss was buying, how could i turn that down??)
-I totally cut mayo which i love, cheese, milk, butter. All that good stuff is gone.

So the check in…Maxey

Weighed in at 218 this morning. Day of the dunk I was 226. I didn't want to weigh myself in between the dunks but I think it will be good since I just started the clean. I will weigh myself tomorrow morning and then at the end of the clean (20 days later).

Changes I see are pretty much everywhere. Legs are much bigger, my belly is shrinking a little, arms shoulders and chest are also noticeably more muscular then before I began crossfit.

Diet- Through the first weeks I ate as paleo as I could with a few slips here and there (mostly in the form of Bud Light). I read the clean book and decided it would be a good idea to start after the 4th because I knew I would most likely enjoy some adult beverages over the weekend. Today is day1 on the clean. Smoothie for breakfast was amazing and so was the chicken I made for lunch (can't remember which one but it was the chicken and wild rice). I think the solid meals wont end up being that bad throughout the 21 days.Compliments are becoming frequent about how it looks like Im losing weight
or getting more muscular.
