birthday, WHAT?!

WOD: 8min AMRAP
            4 HSPU
            8 KB Swings 53#
            12 GHD SU
            then
            1 min hollow rocks
            1 min burpess
            1 min squats

Every year I feel like I have to "prove" to myself that I still have what it takes. I'm sure I exactly know what it takes, but I walk into the gym on a mission to KILL the WOD for the day. My 30th birthday I did my first unassisted pull up (11 in a row, thankyouverymuch), 31st did this crazy workout with 5 consecutive rope climbs for 5 rounds, 32nd (see above). It was 103 degrees when I got into my car to head to the gym so my "kill it" attitude was quickly forgotten when the reality of the heat sunk in.

FOOD GUY: Last week (or the week before) I shared with you that I was working with someone to help me with my food. He suggested that I log my food for a few days and then he will get an idea of what I'm doing so he could make suggestions. I tracked my food. I realized that some days were better than others. Overall, I don't make crappy food decisions. I tend to lean towards quality food and reasonable choices, I just tend to not stay consistent on my fat intake or I will eat like 800 calories one day and 2000 the next. It's a roller coaster. I admire people that have this under control because I do not!

I heard back from him yesterday. I went almost exactly like this (not exaggerating): "Congratulations, I reviewed what you have been eating and the good news is you are doing EVERYTHING wrong! So...if you commit to my suggestions, EVERYTHING will change!"

I'm laughing. What the hell.

So, starting on Saturday, I will follow his suggestions and report back in 10 days. I give him credit. Everything he suggested was reason, nothing fancy, nothing expensive. This will be very manageable.
