Two weeks!

Hard to believe, but we're now into week 3 of this little experiment, and it's actually been a bit easier than I'd expected. It's helped immensely that I've been near home and able to get clean food relatively easily when I needed it. As CS demonstrated earlier this week, travel is fraught with landmines. As long as I plan just a little bit ahead, everything has worked out fine. I'm not overly encouraged by the scale, however.

Part of the problem stems from the bad machine I was using at the beginning of this little show. I'm quite sure that it was 5-10# off from the start, as my trip up on the better scale earlier this week showed that I'd actually gained weight over the first 10-12 days. This can't be the case, but I don't know how to adjust or account for it. So, all I can do is keep plugging away and doing what I know will work. It's done it before. I just don't know if it will be enough to keep me ahead of CS for the overall title. I'm going to need every workout/clean eating day point I can get between now and the end.

Which means CS still has a very legit shot at free steak.

THE WORK:
W/U - 500m row
Lift - 5x clean, clean & jerk (125#)
WOD - 12min EMOM (Odds: 6 hang power clean (115#); Evens: 30 airdyne sprint)

THE PLAY:
1 slice of frittata
1 hand of grapes
kale smoothie
1 hand of almonds
1 hand of pistachios
2 dijon-balsamic chicken thighs
1 1/2 hand brussel sprouts
1 hand of plum tomatoes

Points: 2.5
Total: 31.5
