Day 8: Friday Weigh-In!

Weigh in: 186.  Down 5 pounds and 1 notch lower on my belt.  Acceptable progress (especially considering yesterday's Frenchy lunch and that last night's dinner of water, water, and more water turned into water, chocolate, and pistacios).

Breakfast: 16oz. haf caf Americano with half and half.

I need to stop getting coffee out, because all they have is half and half or non-fat.  I shouldn't have half and half because it's mixing carbs and fats. Besides it's cheaper to make at home.  Upside: today begins my departure from caffeine.

Snack: 24 oz. water, 1 sugar free mint.

Hefty snack, I know! Meh.  I needed the water and I didn't have any good munchies in my desk.  Upside: it's easy to get enough water while at work thanks to the trusty water cooler and my giant sippy cup!

Lunch: BBQ chicken salad from Claim Jumper, 3 bites of cheese bread, 24 oz. water.  

Yes, out again, however, I had a gift certificate and the salad was wonderful!  Possibly a new favorite though it was covered in carby tortilla strips.  Next time I'll order it sans tortilla (though I did try to scrape some off).  Upside: I enjoyed my three forbidden bites of bread and then gave it to the dog.  Gideon enjoyed the cheese bread very much. Also I'm doing great on my water intake!

Crossfit workout:

Power clean 7 reps (with increasing weight?)

And this where Crossfit begins to break down for me.  There is really no way for me to recreate this workout without a gym.  Looks like Wii running tonight and maybe some weight work and I'm thinking some hip extensions would be a good idea too.  They kill when you're doing them, but your abs stay tight for days.

Dinner:

Carne Asada Burrito (caved and ate the tortilla)
And lots of lots of water


Exercise:
Or instead of the planned work out, you'll flake and just lift weights until your arms hurt.  I need to get in some cardio tomorrow I was draggin' all day today.
