I’m thinking back to my first Crossfit experiences and how much fitter I was then than I am now. It’s so much harder to figure out how to do this stuff (and how much of it to do) now than it was then!

Wednesday night I went over to a friend’s house and got very stoned for the first time in a while (there, I’m coming out with it - I usually get all cagey about this sort of stuff on the interweb, but hey - it was my friend’s weed, not mine :D).
I am reminded why I don’t like to smoke the stuff often:
MUNCHIES FROM HELL
I am generally okay about not eating garbage...
Davi deadlifted and bench pressed. Fuck yeah.
DLs are a little more…I dunno what…than squats for me. More likely to make me pass out? More terrifying?

DAVI squatted. Fuck yeah.
In case you were wondering I did my first post-herniation weighted squats today.

Of lesser importance:
3 X 3 @ 45
5 @ 95
5 @ 95
5 @ 135
5 @ 145
5 @ 155
I also did 150 box jumps at somewhere around 8:37. My massage therapist...
dried fruit
also on the “no thanks” list
"whatever challenge"
I am officially beginning my own today.
Here’s what I will eliminate from my diet:
chocolate (even if it’s 90% dark with very little sugar)
cheese (woe)
