CrossFit Diet


At 7pm yesterday, 17 of the St. Pete CrossFitters showed up for the first "weight management" meeting. It was really great to see that kind of a turn out by both men and women. This is all being led by Jay (head trainer), Wendy (assistant trainer), and Sam (nutritionist).

This will all take place over the next 12 weeks and we're starting simply and will fine tune as we go along. So the first focus is just two things: 1) write down everything you eat 2) estimate portions. So no calorie counting and no restrictions. We were provided handouts on measuring portions (based on handfuls) and all provided samples of a day from the journal of Jay, Marc (head trainer), Jess (Marc's wife), and Ed (Sam's husband).

Day 1 for me: 130lbs, 24% body fat. My goal over the next 12 weeks will be to lose 10lbs and 4% body fat.

This morning, our WOD was: 4x800m Run with 2 minutes rest in between. Because my foot still hurts and because I would much prefer to run, I opted to row the 800 instead.

My splits were 4:16, 3:59, 3:55, 3:57

I was trying to negative split but just missed it on that last set. Oh well.

So Hurricane Ida was demoted to Tropical Storm Ida and came on shore near Biloxi, AL. We've had lots of cloud cover and a little rain and we're supposed to get a lot of rain tonight with blue skies again tomorrow. It makes for a dreary, lethargic day.

Time to curl up with Wilma and take a nap!

  1. Carolyn,
    Great way to track progress, here on the blog!
    But one correction: I'm not a "nutritionist", just a foodie. In Florida, you truly need a degree in nutrition/science & it's a licensed position as well. Our girl, Monica, is a dietician (nutritionist, so to speak), but I'm just overly interested and pretty well read. Most of my stuff if practical - planning, macronutrient analysis (like Zone 30/40/30), etc.
    But so stoked you're tracking like this!!
