Well, it finally happened. I hurt myself. It wasn't due to any carelessness or horseplay, I over used my left bicep to the point where I couldn't use it anymore. I am taking Saturday off from CrossFit to rest my bicep, and to work on my golf game, if the rain holds out long enough. I have my first tournament at the end of the month and I haven't played but 4 rounds all year. I need the practice round.
CrossFit has definitely made an improvement in my life; I have lost a little weight, I have some more clearly defined definition in my muscles, and my determination and will power have improved enough that I don't totally hate getting up at 5:15am to get ready for my 6am workout. It will be 3 weeks of CrossFit Sunday.
Usually someone will end the post hopefully in 3 months I will be ripped, but with the results I've seen so far. I don't have to wish and say hopefully, I know that in 3 months I will be ripped and in 9 months; by christmas I will be a different man.
My only deterrent is diet, and not because I have a tremendous sweet tooth. My problem is when I travel I don't have a lot of healthy options available to eat. I haven't had but 3 cokes in 3 weeks and no alcohol in over a month. When I am home for the week my diet is fine and my portion control is better, but on the road a "healthy" 6" Subway isn't always the best option. Whats even worse is sometime a Subway isn't an option and all I have are fast food and fried fast food options. I travelled heavily this week and put back on 2 1/2 pounds. That is why my Diet is the only things against me now, but as I get better at CrossFit, my diet will also improve with time.
