Day 3 of 81

I had no leftovers to take to work today for lunch. This is both a good and bad thing. It's good in that I have consumed everything I prepared for JG and I and there's nothing sitting in the fridge that could potentially be forgotten about until months later (yes. that happens. a lot). It's bad in that I have to venture out into La Jolla to eat; where healthy options are both slim and not cheap. Wish me luck.

My legs are finally starting to feel back to normal. Some slight soreness, but I'm going to try and worth through it w/ more squats!

Energy in
- grande starbucks dark roast w/ room. i enjoy the flavor of the dark coffees and the room is so that it didn't spill everywhere while driving. no cream or sugar added. Also had a perfect food bar for breakfast.

- Panera is one of the lesser expensive eateries in La Jolla. Today I got a half fuji chicken salad and a cup of french onion. I tried my best, but I couldn't resist the three giant crutons floating in my soup. yummers!

- I remembered that I had left a serving of Pete's Premade Paleo in the freezer from before I left to get my surgery.  I asked a couple coworkers how long they thought I should nuke, and one replied 'I think you should defrost it first.' and I'm like 'have you ever eaten a frozen entree? When have you ever defrosted something?' I went with 4 minutes and it was bomb.

- I just ate a kiwi

- The wifey and I went halvsies on pete's paleo and I picked up the order from 858 today. Hint, to get the most out of your pete's premade paleo purchase, order double meat (size) and an extra order of veggies while opting out of the snacks. Yesterday's meal consisted of pork, broccoli and spinach.

- post workout, I had a muscle milk protein shake with almond milk and 2 fish oil pills. I'm almost out of protein and am debating on what to go w/ next - the pricey, but tasty Progenex? the whole30 approved (and still pricey) Stronger Faster Healthier? more cost effect protein sold at Costco (Muscle Milk / Optimum Nutrition)? or do I go with a weight gain variety?

Energy Out

-Week 1 day 2 of hatch squat program is in the books. This was tough as there was still some lingering soreness in my legs. I backed down my 1RM maxes considerably from 255 to 200 on the back squat and 215 to 175 on the front and am still finding the prescribed weight very challenging. Hope to get my legs back soon.

- for the metcon I tried to do a variation of the 10 burpee box jump 10 kbs (1.5 pood) 5 rounds for time 858 wod from earlier this week. I don't have a box, so I subbed w/ lateral bar burpees. 5 rounds sounded really long so I told myself to adjust according if necessary after the first round. In the second round I dropped the 53# kettlebell on my head. I'm not sure what happened, but I must have been a lot more tired and a lot weaker than I thought. I swapped it out for a 35 and continued on to finish 3 rounds. 5 minutes of work. I need to work on that.
