Eating to Survive!

The workouts at Zia CrossFit are kind of like a Training Camp.

I don't remember being this sore and fatigued from the workouts since I was in my 20's.

I am literally doubling my intake of proteins, veggies and fruit.

Here's 2 links of sweet basil and pesto chicken sausage, 2 slices of TJ's uncured turkey bacon, 2 eggs, 2 parsnips sliced, a banana and a double handful of organic kale.

I first sauted the sliced sausage for 3 minutes then added everything else.... the bacon is cut into 1" squares.

Last is the bacon with a generous sprinkle of cinnamon.

and there's the mix plated with 2 over medium eggs on top and a good dollop of sweet and hot mustard at the bottom.

And for supper... an open faced Daddy Burger....

A single slice of the blue corn crusted whole grain bread....

coated liberally with sweet mustard.

A thick patty of the turkey mix

1 slice of jalapeno cheese

Several slices of tomato

Topping of fresh basil.

Grande Cafe Americano after the PIYO Strength workout at Anytime Fitness.

2 thick slices of TJ's Turkey Meat Loaf

Several slices of grilled egg plant

1 yellow squash thin sliced and grilled

A bottom of spring mix, tomatoes, carrots.

Good coating of sweet mustard

topped with red grapes.

Power Snatches

Overhead Squats X 2

Hang Snatches

Each set a single series of movements without setting the bar down.

5 sets as heavy as you can go.... See what I mean?

Then the actual WOD....

5 rounds of:
10 side squats

5 box jumps

5 power cleans with 155#.... that's a lot of weight.

Back at la casa, it's another double up on protein with a 10 oz patty of turkey and a side of the TJ's uncured corned beef with 3 slices of egg plant on the side.
