I love the title of this pic - "The Motivator!" Perfect!! I need TROB out there at 11:30 today to motivate my butt during these freaking lunges!

Breakfast is rough for me Zoning with strictly "good" food. 4 blocks is the absolute max I can stuff in. Today, 6oz ground turkey sauteed with 3/4 cup tomatoes, 1 cup green pepper, 1/2 cup poblano pepper (a handful of crumbled bacon greatly improves that "dish", but alas...), 1 grapefruit, 1+1/3 tsp olive oil, 3.3g EPA+DHA, 2g vitamin C, 400 IU vitamin E, and a bunch of water (that poblano was a bit sassy).

---
So that was 4 blocks. This is what 5 blocks in the morning does to me (warning, some salty language)

Breakfast for me was 3 eggs, 2 slices of bacon, 2 oz. homemade sausage, and 2.5 oz avocado. 6 Blocks protein & 22 Blocks Fat. Columbia La Minita Coffee (this stuff is stupid good) 2.5g EPA/DHA

I need more suggestions for quick protein blocks for my snacks. I grilled 10 pounds of pork chops and 10 pounds of chicken breast this weekend and separated it into 3oz bags in the freezer, but I need some other ideas for 2block Protein block snacks....

Breakfast: 3 eggs (local farm-raised), cooked in Tbsp bacon fat, cup spinach, 1/4 cup tomatoes, handful diced red onion, 1/2oz grated cheddar, served with 1/2cup picante. Two clementine oranges on the side. Mug of green tea, another mug of Brueggers coffee on the way to work.

This is my toe from Sat, starting to heal up now, but still going to see the podiatrist later today.

My guess is a chip fracture involving the DPJ.

Erin Atkins says:

I am now traumatized from that vid

Erin Atkins says:

April 18, 2011 at 2:38 am

Larry, I make egg "muffins". Egg whites + anything else you want to add (I use bacon, onions, mushrooms...) and pour in muffin tins. Bake in the oven. These are actually pretty good cold and make an easy portable snack. I haven't tried them with the whole egg, but I bet that works too.

KLowe says:

7 eggs, 3 bacon, Trio Bar, Black coffee

Erin Atkins says:

April 18, 2011 at 2:46 am

WOD: 17:34/ 404 steps. This is what happens when you are short.

Breakfast: 1.5oz turkey sausage, 2 scrambled eggs with 1 TBS of salsa, 1 banana, 9 cashews, cup of black coffee, 2.25 EPA/DHA (2.1 grams total)

Larry Lowe says:

I have a proposition for the Food Challenge Committee.

Getting 8 hours of sleep is going to be difficult for me given that I can only make the 6AM class (yes I know I could go to bed earlier, but that too just doesn't work for me). I get about 7 hours per night. Here is my proposition. Can we substitute sex for 8 hours of sleep to get a bonus point? Sex is just as primal to our system as sleep. Just thought I would toss this one out there :).

Josh Kennedy says:

Functional fitness....

KLowe says:

Larry,
What is that?

Josh Kennedy says:

April 18, 2011 at 3:11 am

Got an appt with Robert OCampo at 3pm today to find out. What the heck is DPJ?

Kerri says:

April 18, 2011 at 3:27 am

I've done this same thing with sweet potato and bacon as the 'stuff'.....good little balanced snack, and great on the go like Erin said!

Larry Lowe says:

April 18, 2011 at 3:33 am

I will have to give that a try. Thanks for sharing!

Jason says:

April 18, 2011 at 8:27 am

That's my teammate!! Great idea!

Larry Lowe says:

Can't come to 0600 this week since Amanda is managing the Youth Holy Week Devotional Breakfast all week.

Home Gym:

Helen - 9:30 Unbroken, but felt like I was running through molasses

Then 100m walking lunges just because everyone else was doing it. - 3:00

DaveC says:

April 18, 2011 at 3:45 am

My vote is: if you do that for 8 hours instead of sleep everyday, I suppose a bonus point is deserved. :)

Push jerk 85# PR

16:45 PR, 400 m walking lunges

breakfast: 2 eggs, 1 orange, 18 almonds (triple my fat)

Ben Jarrell says:

April 18, 2011 at 4:25 am

Hah, I knew what that vid was going to be before I even clicked on it.

I can't even eat 4 blocks in the morning. I eat the same breakfast more or less every day- two eggs, an orange, and almonds. I feel pretty gross if I eat anything more than that.

Ben Jarrell says:

April 18, 2011 at 4:26 am

How do you measure the "stuff" block-wise?

Ben Jarrell says:

April 18, 2011 at 4:28 am

Mine is similar. I usually eat 6 almonds or so, plus the coconut oil I use to fry my eggs, which is around 1 blocks worth.

Ben Jarrell says:

Kerri says:

1 egg, 1/2c egg whites, 1 slice of bacon
Whisk mixture, and microwave for 2 1/2 minutes. Voila! Microwave Omelet!
1/2c strawberries,& 1/2c blueberry/raspberry/blackberry mix
Decaf Black Coffee
Repeat 5x/week!

Slade White says:

April 18, 2011 at 5:16 am

So wait, you didn't have any carbs? Also, what's the official position on bacon or sausage? They aren't lean, so are they favorable?

DaveC says:

April 18, 2011 at 5:23 am

I thought what I heard was that bacon was on the evil food list?

Erin Atkins says:

April 18, 2011 at 5:28 am

That's the tricky part. The recipe I have uses 15 egg whites for 12 "muffins" which is 1 1/4 egg white per muffin which is less than one block per muffin. But if you add bacon, it may add up to a block per muffin. I plan to play with the recipe and maybe use the whole egg or try to use two egg whites per muffin so that it's easier to measure.

Made up FGB, 383 RX'd. PR by 39 reps

I'm not on a team, but I'll join in with my breakfast:
3 jumbo eggs, 2 slices bacon, 1 sausage patty; 1/4 apple, 6 oz coconut milk with a teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 cup water.

I think that's 5 blocks P, .5 block C, and 30 blocks F. I lost 4 pounds while on vacation because I didn't have a bathroom scale to tell me if I needed more fat or not, so I'm somewhat trying to make up for that, but if I could, that would likely be my breakfast everyday if I'm training that day.

Larry Lowe says:

April 18, 2011 at 7:17 am

That is a great FGB score!

Rich C. says:

April 18, 2011 at 7:19 am

14:30 rx'd
4 eggs, 5 slices bacon, black coffee, 1.8g EPA/DHA
9 blocks protein & 20 blocks fat

Russell says:

April 18, 2011 at 7:39 am

I am on a team but one of our team members had to drop out! So I guess we are looking for a replacement.

Break fast for me was:
3 eggs
1.5 ounces of ground Venison.
1 Whole Pear
2 blocks of dried apricots.
20 Blocks of Fat from Pistachios

So 4 Blocks Protein, 4 Blocks CHO, 20 Blocks fat.

Oh yeah, geekspeak for distal phalangeal joint. The joint in the middle of your big toe, not the one where it connects to your foot.

Jimmy Pleasant is looking for a team, so he can be your third member.

Strong work!

Jason says:

April 18, 2011 at 8:26 am

I would post what I ate for breakfast but my brain in currently blocking out everything except pain! 18:39, which was last in class, but a PR by almost 5 min! And yes, my wife destroyed me in this workout. Warmup matched PR of 155 Push Jerk.

Patrick says:

April 18, 2011 at 8:28 am

185# Push Jerk
400m Prowler Push, started with 90# on the horns but had to jettison the bumpers after about 20yds. The CFHSV concrete parking lot grabs that sucker like a magnet, the asphalt in the Matrix and Old Town parking lots is much better for prowler pushing. Just in case anyone else wants to give her a whirl.

Robert S. says:

What everyone needs to take away from seeing how/what athletes like Tye, Russell, or myself eat is that we have been very strict with our nutrition for a LONG time. This has afforded us the opportunity to make slight changes that will result in performance or body comp gains, and we understand how that change will effect us. I was reluctant to post my food for this exact reason, however everyone needs to remember that ALL of us started with the baseline zone Rx and stayed with that for at least 6 months before making any changes. It takes a long time to be tuned into how subtle changes in your nutrition will effect you.

We want everyone to start with the basics and then build on that knowledge after you've given your baseline Rx time to work.

As far as bacon or sausage goes, I count that as both protein and fat. The reason behind this is the large quantity of fat that I consume daily. If you're eating a baseline zone lean cuts of meat (which bacon and sausage are not) are better choices becuase they provide you with a better ability to control fat blocks and the 06:03 ratio in your diet.

16:34 "Shout Out" to Dean who slayed the 400 meter walking lunges. Stayed around and watched Tye press through an amazing "fight gone bad" score.

Brady Wakefield says:

April 18, 2011 at 9:21 am

So after reading all that, i think im hungry!

24:30 rx'd thanks to Lesha or I might have not finished. This is a PR since I didn't finish last time. Pain is the word of the day!

Tye says:

April 18, 2011 at 9:33 am

Thanks, definitly went after it with a different approach this time. Not killing myself on the rower to get 20 calories and accepting 16 the first two rounds was huge. Really helped me recover well to start each round.

Josh Kennedy says:

April 18, 2011 at 10:09 am

And Podiatrist Dr. OCampo confirmed this afternoon that it was indeed a fracture at the DPJ. of course, can do nothing about it except "6 weeks rest". Which helps me little since the Western States 100 is in 9 weeks. So thus, he said be careful for 2 weeks then ease back in.

Dean says:

April 18, 2011 at 11:06 am

400m walking lungs came in at 11:13. felt good, but i think i will def be paying for it tomorrow. bring on the pain!

Eric Hedges says:

April 18, 2011 at 12:21 pm

5 eggs 3 turkey bacon handful of almonds and 4 grams of omega 3

The WOD today pretty much sucked and can only imagine what it will feel like in the morning!

Patrick says:

April 18, 2011 at 12:28 pm

Post Op shoe feels alot better than jamming that sucker in a close-toed shoe. Yeah, I'm the king at jacking up my feet.

Jamie Flynt says:

April 18, 2011 at 12:55 pm

My very first class after CF 101...all I can say is "ouch". 167 steps at the 15:00 cut off for the scaled 200m. I had about 20 more lunges to go but my body didn't appreciate what my mind was saying. I'll get it!

Robert S. says:

April 18, 2011 at 1:23 pm

Welcome aboard, Jamie!

This is a horrible WOD to call your first. Great work!
