Today’s WOD was just another okay workout. I just didn’t really feel like going and really didn’t want to test my knee out with the bent over rows. The knee held out, but started hurting towards the heavier weight while doing bent over rows. Maybe one of these days the knee will just stop hurting like it started… Immediately. Fat chance I know. Speaking of which, I am down to 223# now. So I have lost 12 pounds total which just isn’t enough! I guess I am going to have to continue to drop my food intake until I finally start seeing the improvements I wanna see. Easier said than done for sure. Food is an addiction you just can’t get rid of. I would love to be able to see it as only a fuel, but that dreaded sugar (a.k.a Crack) just makes food taste so fucking good!
NUTRITION:
I ate pretty good for most of the day… Although I did fall off the peanut butter wagon again and had three spoon fulls of peanut butter with honey dripped over the top. I know, not helping the cause…
