what day is it?

Day 2 & 3, 

I am confused. Totally actually. I am writing this with a day lag. Or am I?  I think I am on day 3. Or is it day 2 and the days have just been REALLY long? Or it is day 3 and I am losing my mind. Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Let’s just roll days 2&3 into one, just in-case it is one of the above. What does it matter? The only date of any influence is the end day, which is the meal after the crossfit Australian regionals, end of May, something something (I better check that). Note: I am not competing. I am just your ultimate fan, suffering as you are in your strictness, minus the 3x WODs per day. 3-4 times a week will do me.

Live/

Apparently DIET is 95% the most important factor in weight management/ longevity/ whatever (or look good naked and fat loss), THEN SLEEP, and THEN TRAINING. So by my rational, lying in bed trying to sleep (and maybe thinking about paleo cookies) is more important to my physique than the 5 min AMRAP medicine ball of torture programmed at my box today? Nah not buying it, my new rule: eat well, move as much as I can, and then get to bed early. Simple. In that order. Oh my what would Robb say?

Sleep priority - I tried this last night. Training finished at 7:30. Dinner at 8. Bed at 9. Asleep at 1am. Wake up at 5:30am. So much for that. Ghastly. I might need to hone-in the long blacks (2x per day) and be tired whilst in adjustments, or just being a walking zombie. Zombie? That will help my fellow crossfit friend’s training at least, as they can run away from me to practice GPP. I don’t know. Is sleep really that important? Maybe I am one of those ‘get by on 4 hours per night’ people? (Glances in mirror to check for bags under eyes)

I didn’t cry today, and did a heap of work. I am feeling rather energetic actually… and chatty. Yuck how very upbeat of me. I will start freaking people out soon with new me. Grumpy Josie is known and knowable. Happy positive Josie is just too strange to comprehend. How vulgar.

Achievements/

I ate well, went to training (all on my own), got told I made someone proud, ate less nuts, lost 600grams (I am not buying into the whole9  rule of no weighing for 30days). I like progress and constant reassurance. I also like materialistic rewards, but I am trying to not be ‘that’ person and trying the ‘fit back into my skinny jeans without budgers’ as a reward.

Eat/

I have been putting my foodness into calorieking. Happy to share but far out how much more of me can you really take? Bottom-line, take home message: (buzzword bingo - I am in marketing you know!) Ave around 1200-1400 cals, 100g fat/ 100g protein/ 16.3g carbs/ 12g sugar (vege/ coconut derived) & 7g fibre. Stop me now. This space is getting obsessive. I blame the Robb Wolf podcasts. 

Move/

I went to bodym, did my crossfit training - Strength: 1-1-1-1-1-1 C&J @ 38kg. Note to self: crap weight. I need to get a new CFT stat. WOD: 5 rounds 15 PU (on knees as I am a weakling), 5 Power Cleans (RX was 40kg), did 35kg= 7:23. Happy with that, more happy for going 2x in a row.

Motivation I love you. Perseverance let’s date. xxx
