Injury can only keep me down for so long

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.
