Fran and nutrition

Yesterday was a rest day so Brian and I attempted Fran.

Fran:

21-15-9
Thrusters 95lbs
Pull ups

Fran is a lot tougher than she looks. I completed Fran in 12:05. My goal next time I attempt her is 10 min.

I was actually surprised a bit that I was able to do all the thrusters at 95lbs; which was incredible for me. The more I think about where I was at 4-5 months ago, there is no way I would have been able to do this. It's amazing to me the kind of strength and power that I have gotten from doing these workouts. Will I continue to do them for the rest of my life? Maybe, maybe not. I know crossfit is just but one drop in the exercise ocean, but it works and it works really well; especially for my style of working out.

Right now I'm also trying to focus on nutrition a bit more than I have, especially since I have to guide people with their eating habits, so it makes me a bit more focused on what I'm eating. I finally started reading a nutrition textbook that I borrowed from a friend, but that will take me a while to get through. For now, I'm trying to find different foods that I can eat as I know I'm not limited to just penut butter sandwiches and chicken for protein.

  1. 10 minutes is not a big enough goal. You will be surprised but shoot for 8 minutes or less.

    Also as far as nutrition goes, try the zone diet
    www.zonediet.com or just ask and I will e-mail you a PDF file with all the basics about it.
