Day 21 is has just ended for me (unless I go snack up within the next couple of hours)
Breakfast (620am)
-3 eggs, sunny-side up

Eating the chicken sausages together with the eggs seems a bit odd, no?
Lunch at Flame Broiler (11am)
-Beef veggie bowl- no rice, beef, veggies *yawn*
-16 oz of unsweetened ice tea
WOD (6p-7p)
-Cash in with 400m run, then follow with 18-12-6 of 135lb thruster and burpees with 5 pullups in-between and at the end (i.e. 3x5), then finally cashout with a 400m run...20min cap
Result: 19min5sec...phew!
Dinner (830p) at Chipotle
-Steak bowl - steak, fajita veggies, sour cream, salsa, guacamole (plus another 3oz of guacamole on the side)
-3 oz of pampanu fish (i think that's what it's called)

100 burpee challenge
Ok, so I'm laughing as I type this up. What if there are consequences if we have even a sip of alcohol before the nutritional challenge ends? I, Homer Maniago, propose the 100 Burpee Challenge. For everytime we have alcohol before the 60 days is over we pay for it by doing 100 burpees the next day. Obviously this will work under the honor code and will definitely make us think twice about being rediculously bad. Who's with me? Anybody?..Anybody?...helllooo? (I understand only 4 people somewhat follow this and I could very well be talking to myself).

Days 17, 18, 19 & 20
So I haven't actually posted anything these past few days and you're probably wondering why. It's called "shame." Those 3 things that I feared per my Day 16 post apparently all came true. Let's see if I can remember what I had.
Day 17 : 'twas an alright day...
Breakfast at IHOP (745am):
-Colorado omelette
-24oz coffe
-4 oz of mixed fruit
Lunch at Flame Broiler (12pm)
-Flame Broiler works bowl
-16oz of unsweetened ice tea
Snack
-5 oz of Apple Crisp by Paleo People...expensive but awesome
WOD:
-"Pizza and Beer" - 125 kettle bell swings at 53 lbs for time, but every minute on the minute 5 burpees must be done...therefore start with the burpees.
Result: 7min.28 seconds....this is a forearm burner and something that would probably make someone throw up.
But then....
Dinner at the Tilted Kilt in the LBC (8pm)...come on! it was a guys' night out and it was a buddy's birthday
-4 oz of grilled herb chicken, mixed vegetables
-8 oz bentley margarita (not paleo)
-2 norcal margaritas, on the rocks, double shot
-half pint of dos xx beer
-2 irish car bombs
-about 6 oz of fries (regular, garlic, and sweet potato)
-5 oz of Banana Crisp by Paleo People
That was Day 17.
Now for Day 18. Woke up hungover but like a trooper I pressed on...
Breakfast: None (didn't wake up in time for that)
Lunch at Wood Ranch Grill (12pm)
-10 oz of prime rib
-8 oz of broccoli
Dinner at Honda Ya in Downtown LA (Little Tokyo, yakitori and sushi place, 6pm)
Yakitori are skewered dishes, but they're not very big. Think of sticks about 4-5 inches long with meat stuck to them.
-2 pork bellies
-1 chicken liver
-2 bacon-wrapped sausage
-2 something somethings. I forgot what they were called.
-3 oz of salmon sashimi (not yakitori)

This was a buddy's going away event so we decided to move it to a hotdog/bar place called Wurstkuche:
-pint of an amber beer
-pint of light beer
-buffalo, beef, and pork with sweet peppers hot dog (yes, with the bun)
Day 18 done and now for Day 19
Breakfast (none, again)
I went to the movies and watched Hangover 2...movie sucked...had small popcorn
Lunch and Dinner (I had to put this together because I was in a haze for the most part)
-probably 12 oz of carne asada
-lots of tortilla chips with a guacamole dip and non-bean dip (this was freakin' awesome...i think it was made from cream cheese and salsa)
-???? oz of beer (Pacifico, bud light)
-few oz of skinny margarita (didn't help)
-more ???? oz of beer (went to a bar)
Day 20
Breakfast at Denny's (5am)...woke up in my car :)

Good morning and Happy Wednesday! I need to refocus because I think I can do a lot better in this challenge. Let the 45 Day Challenge begin! Anyway, I weighed myself this morning at 6am...170.8lbs. Not too shabby.

So...
So recently I've been having conversations with some people regarding exercise and nutrition. It came up because one person in particular is having a great amount of stress at work and at home, and their fading physical health. Naturally I talked about crossfit and the paleolithic diet because heck, that's what we crossfitters do no matter how douche (spelling?) we sound. I explained what crossfit is and the idea behind it but somehow it progressed quickly to the price of becoming a member.
Obviously I talked about the higher membership fee of a crossfit gym compared to the globo gym that this person currently has. I made a point that a globo gym can only take you so far especially when you don't get the knowledge and support of an actual trainer on a regular basis like you would at a crossfit gym. Pay more now and get results OR keep paying the low membership fees and see absolutely nothing? Plus I think it's more fun to do workouts together with other people, creating a competitive and intense environment, than having to half-ass curls and treadmill runs alone. This person didn't budge, not even a bit. Price is important and I certainly understood that because of our current economic state.
Ok, fine. Crossfit is expensive and there is no money for it. Got it.
Maybe I could help this person out by talking about going paleo in their diet. I'm not the most knowledgeable person in the world regarding this subject, but I was able to point out bread and sugar = bad, meat and vegetables = good. To help my cause, I even emailed them some literarture and links to websites (i.e. robbwolf.com). I asked them to try it for 30 days, heck, even try it for 3 weeks because I'm sure they'll be able to see some results that it will work. This person responded with one excuse after another. A couple, in particular was "I know, I know...but it's too hard" and "(grains) is like a drug and I need it". Mind you, this is the person who knows the problem, wants a solution to the problem, gets a fire-proof solution to the problem, but can't muster up a little sacrifice to fix it.
Luckily that's how the conversation ended and this person walked away because I was just getting annoyed. I might have said things that I would regret so in a way that was a fine. It did make me realize something about some people...not everybody, just some. There are 2 kinds of people, the "go-getters" and the "pity me" type. Given the same problems, the "go-getters" will take the initiative to seek for help, seriously take up sound advice, and then try to fix it asap while the "pity me" type will wait 'til someone pities them enough to fix the problem for them. Unfortunately for the "pity me" type, there aren't that many willing to help as that's not how the world is.
(I know I probably didn't deliver this as well as I could but I was really bugged about this today)
