Today’s WOD was pretty hard core. It is hard as hell doing any overhead work when you are on a ship and the ship is rocking and rolling in 15-20 foot seas! It really fucking sucks! Just do it right Nike? I did manage to get up to 145# which isn’t too bad. There was a moment that I thought I was going to loose the weight when at the top, the ship rolled and I literally almost buckled under the weight. I didn’t and was able to hold for 2 seconds before setting back down on the floor. The MetCon was a gas burner! I completed in 26:38. I’ll take that (Like I have a choice). BTW, I’m digging this walk everyday. I get about an hour of sun and it’s starting to show… I have the beginnings of a killer tan!
NUTRITION:
I ate pretty good for most of the day… I still haven’t been able to get away from the peanut butter! It’s the worst thing I do… I just love peanut butter and honey on a spoon! I imagine if I do not kick the peanut butter and honey habit, I’ll never get back down to 195#…

419 pages that breaks down each move and adds all the supplemental exercises too. There is even a section that covers nutrition. I really like the content of the book.
