Entering the Zone
Lately I have been reading a lot about crossfit as a training program, I’ll have a more detailed post on the workout side of things after i have done it for a few weeks. For now I will say that the workouts are killer and I love them so far.
Part of the training regiment is the Zone diet. I read a few articles on it and picked up the book which I started last night. The article that really won me over was “Tupperware man” by Greg Amundson. This, along with the meal plans outlined by crossfit and a scale to weigh the food, had me ready to go.
So far today I had a pre-workout meal bar, and then hit the gym at 6:15
Breakfast at 9 consisted of:
- 4 eggs, scrambled
- 2 pieces of whole wheat toast
- 12 almonds
Lunch at noon will be:
- a 4oz chicken breast that I seasoned with buttub (sooooo good)
- half a cup of pasta
- 2 apples
- 12 almonds
Afternoon snack:
- 2 oz piece of salmon from the cafeteria downstairs
- an apple
- 6 almonds
Dinner/after dinner snack will be a zone proportioned meal of taco’s / margarita’s for cinco dey Mayo. I have yet to plan these out
My goal is to stick with this program at least until I run a 7 mile race in July, and if I am doing well on it, to continue it through running the Men’s Health Urban Athlon in Sept
I’m excited, bring the pain
