Day 45 - Weight 295.2 lbs. - Again, with the WODs!

Prayers and props out to my pal John going in for shoulder surgery tomorrow. I think he's more nervous than he might like to let on. I also think he's gonna rock the house. We love you, John.

Three WODs in a row is a lot, but it's also something that can be done. Yeah, I'm kinda sore all the time. Yeah, I am sometimes wondering how much of my energy should be focused on this CrossFit thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Complaining is in my nature but my nature is changing. God is great. I'm less sore than I used to be and I recover more rapidly. Once I further grease the groove with this exercise and eating stuff it'll take less work and energy--it'll still be hard work but won't be so tough on my day.

My body does not feel like I did three WODs and an endurance homework over the last three days. This is apparently due to my hard work in the gym; smart work in the gym; learning to self-massage with a lacrosse ball; eating paleo; resting regularly, and getting plenty of sleep. This stupid Paleo eating works. John & Cheryl at CrossFit joked that I was forced to rest Thursday. I feel so good now that I almost don't want to rest. I think I can physically do five WODs a week plus two endurance homeworks. It may not be feasible time-wise, but who knows?

My wife Alice did her first real WOD today and kicked it hard. She felt guilty finishing first, like she must've done something wrong. hahaha  The heavier weights will come, Terkey Gerl!

Patience, Daniel-san.

Anyway, I get Thursday off. In a few short days we'll have one week left. Oh, and by the way, I saw 295 on the scale today.
