I did go away for a few days leading up to and over the weekend. I managed to keep my weight under control. Well the truth is I went up about 7 pounds because I didn't get a lot of workouts in. I was just determined to get my weight back down before I did a post again. So I am down a portion of a pound from where I was last time I post -about a week ago. I suppose it is a good thing you can go wild and binge over a long weekend -go up about seven pounds and get it back down in about a week. My percentage of body fat has gone way up -but it seems to fluctuate up and down a bit as my weight goes up and down. Actually after my binge weekend-many pieces of pizza and chicken wings-I was up to 207 but my bodyfat was a little under 20 percent. I thought "great I didn't work out and I ate like a pig but I gained muscle and lost fat ( according to my bf % reading anyway). The next day it had jumped back up -so I guess easy come easy go

I'm out of town for a few days, so there will be no crossfit type workouts for a few days. Managed to get a bunch of push ups and close grip push ups down inthe hotel room. Nice thing about push ups is you can do them anywhere.

Winston Churchill said "if you are going through hell-keep going". I think he was refering to the battle of Britain -but in a way it applies to almost any but situation in life-put your head down and just keep going. Somehow comparing the Battle of Britain to Crossfit workout seems a little trite- however something about them -even thought they are really brief- you just want to get them done and get it over with. I seem to be experiencing a little drop in weight- maybe due to the crossfit? I am less than 10,000 push ups/chins from the 200k mark -should be able to hit 200k before the year is over. I am hoping on hitting a quarter of a million by new years. That would take an average of over 330 push ups or chins a day until New Years. This is a little more than I have been doing lately but - I think I will push for it (no pun intended).

I have been playing around with crossfit workouts a bit. Playing around is probably the wrong term. They are brief but beat the crap out of you. Some days I have been foolinsh enough to do two of the workouts in the same day-they just seem so brief you feel like you can get another one in. Half way throught the second one you kind of think "well this was a mistake". I have been trying to use the weights indicated on the crossfit site-but I also have to admit sometimes this is challenging. These workouts have a way of showing you how not in shape you are. Found an interesting blog. Mr Low Body Fat link is below.

I started this blog in Feb of 07. Around the time I started I weighed 210.5 lbs. Today I weigh about 205 so you could say I have only lost about 5 pounds in the last two and a half years-lots of push ups-apparently not a good weigh loss strategy. However lately for the most part my weigh has been hovering closer to 200 pounds most days- which I suppoae is more like a 10 pound loss. In general my goals were not really to lose a ton of weight-just trim off some of the fat. The push ups and chin ups numbers continue to gradually go up and that has been my primary goal.

Came across this on you tube. It is called the "dot drill". Good way to keep your push ups interesting.

Not saying regular push ups are too easy for me yet. Not sure I could manage these. Push up /chin up numbers are working out all right this week. Shouldn't have any trouble getting more than 200 k done well before the end of the year-who knows maybe 225k?
