Well, I survived the oyster fest. I went only for about a half hour...had to sadly pass by the kettle corn tent and went about my way. It was a bit too hot for me, like it usually is.
I did end up drinking this weekend though, unfortunately--which doesn't follow the sugar detox guidelines but 2 drinks is better than a whole weekend of shit food, right? We went to wendy's afterwards...I was very tempted to get a burger, fries and a frosty but I settled with a small chili with extra onions--another victory from myself!
Sunday morning I was pretty f'n hungover (why do I do that to myself? UGH!) and I was craving a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel from dunkin donuts SOOO bad. So I got in my car, started driving....then yelled at myself for being an asshole and turned right around. I went home, downed a few glasses of water and had some saugsage and eggs. Victory #3!! Was very proud of myself for this. I am my worst enemy
Being in the house when all I wanted was a sweet snack was very difficult. I found myself going into the fridge more than usual and just staring at shit, getting sad, then walking back to the couch lol but week 1 is down...should be smooth sailing from here.
No workouts...I did something to my knee on Friday so I wanted to rest it for this week. Feels fine to walk and run but going up and down stairs is quite painful. Might skip tonight's squat fest and go for a run instead

Amanda M...Day 205
Hi all (or Maria lol)
Slept great but went to bed too late I think. Felt a bit sluggish but not as bad as I have been before. I just had no motivation to do anything at work lol not sure if that was from my sleep or...I just didnt want to do anything!
Food: Sugar DT Day 4
It was a rough day cravings wise. I definitely have been eating enough because I haven't been feeling hungry much at all. I think it was really just me missing it...Its amazing to realize just how much sugar I was really eating. Fruit on the bottom yogurt, chocolate covered almonds, berries, smokehouse maple seasonings, marshmallows...lol Amanda F says that after day 4 I should find it easier and easier so lets hope so!
WOD:
Felt really good today. Normally by Thursday I am totally smoked but I think the added fat and bigger meals that I've been eating have really helped keep my energy and strength up. I was definitely not eating enough the past few months.
HPC 5 attempts at a PR: I got up to 145# but that isn't a PR for me. It went up easy too. Colin came over and asked if I got a PR and I felt guilty for having to say no lol he always asks when we have PC max days! I need to start saying yes more!
10 down to 1 HPC 95#
1 up to 10 box jumps 20"box
Blew through the HPC as usual. Box jumps gave me a bit of trouble but I was just happy to be back on the 20" box after having been afraid of it again after being away for so long

Maria Sugar DT Day 7
Didn't sleep enough AGAIN. Went too bed too late and had to get up early. I considered staying in bed and blowing off the WOD, but I knew it would eat me up inside all day!
Underestimated myself on the shoulder press. 10 was WAYYYY too light, I probably should have used 20# for all three sets
9am- 3 eggs, 2 C frozen spinach, 1/2 haas avocado
12:50pm- HUNGRY- 4 oz ground turkey breast, 1 C green pepper, onion, mushroom, squash, 1 C cauliflower fried rice, 1 TBSP EVOO
6pm- STARVING, 1 C cauliflower fried rice, 2 oz ground turkey, 2 TBSP olive oil mayo
7:30pm- 2 grilled chicken thighs, 1 C cooked cabbage and onions
Finally feeling like myself after the cruise fiasco (sp?). I feel deflated! Wow, 11 days before feeling back to my old self. That is a big price to pay for one week of "what the hell." Anywhoo, I am feeling great on this sugar DT thing, eating lots of healthy fat, and I swear that is what helps curb the cravings. I feel totally satisfied right now, in the past I would be fighting the temptation of the night time munchies!
WOD Thursday 8/16
A. Power Clean - 3.2.1.3.2.1, rest 4 minutes: 105/110/115/110/115/120
B. Hang Power Clean - in no more than 3 sets take up to heavy triple: 95/100/110
C. Seated DB shoulder press, 3 x 8/side, 51X1, rest 2 minutes: 10/15/20Underestimated myself on the shoulder press. 10 was WAYYYY too light, I probably should have used 20# for all three sets

Amanda M...Day 204
Slept great. Felt a little sluggish yesterday though.
Food: Sugar Detox Day 3
Ate clean and perfect--3rd straight day in a row. My sugar cravings were kicked into wicked high gear though. All I wanted was a handful of dark chocolate covered almonds. It didnt help that I tagged along with Chris to whole foods (their hot food smelled SO GOOD!!!) or that my roommate was up making cookies all night. UGH! But, I want this so bad...this round I am going to go all the way. No more sabotage. I've spent way too long in the same spot, time to suck it up!
WOD:
20 min amrap
3 tough ring rows
6 semi-tough ring rows
HR pushups ascending order (6,9,12...)
50m run
Overall was a good workout. Got a good sweat going. I need to start running in the morning again (I dont know how many times I have said that) but I have just been going to bed too late!

Amanda M...Day 203
Slept great, it was nice and cool out so I didnt need my A/C--just my window fan and sometimes it feels so much better not being beaten with freezing cold air. Cant wait for fall!
Food- Detox Day 2
Ate really well, lots and lots of protein and healthy fat to keep those detox jitters away. I have been paleo for quite some time so it isn't that major of a difference from what I would normally eat during the week. The weekend, however...I am a little nervous for. Especially this weekend--oyster fest! I ALWAYS would get a big bag of kettle corn and sometimes a fried dough. Plus, that night we always go hard on the drinking and drunk-munching lol so hopefully I can keep it together
WOD:
1 1/4 shoulder press
3x8/leg one legged DL--feeling those today, woo
"Cray"
6 rds
200m run
10 DL (RX was 145 but I stuck with 125 just because I wanted to make sure my form was perfect and that I'd have energy for the runs)
Nitro-I dont hear or see him all that often, but when he does pop up he always manages to make a huge impact in my day. He gave me a rubber bracelete last night that says "I AM STRONG" on it and it really meant alot to me. Its something I really do need to remind myself of everyday as I am always so hard on myself. I am strong...both physically and mentally. I can do this. Thanks buddy

Maria Sugar DT Day 5
Slept pretty well last night, woke up once but fell back asleep. Stress level low, since I have been on vacation since 7/18.
8:30- 3 oz calamari, 1 C cabbage, onion, crushed tomato, 1 tsp olive oil mayo
WOD
Felt a little light headed again today. I have gone through DT before, and I don't remember feeling like that. It only happens when I pick up a heavy weight. I hope it goes away!
8:30- 3 oz calamari, 1 C cabbage, onion, crushed tomato, 1 tsp olive oil mayo
WOD
A. DL - 1 RM- 230# PR!
B. 50 HSPU w/ harness- OMG this took me almost 20 minutes
B. 50 HSPU w/ harness- OMG this took me almost 20 minutes
C. 50 TGU @ 35#.. NOT FOR TIME- Really? Cause I really wanted to time it. Actually I did time it and it took me almost 25 minutes and I used a 24# KB. My thumb is a now a nice shade of purple after smashing the KB down on it today. Hurts!
I was at the gym for almost 2 hours today, between warm up- so paranoid about my back- the WOD, and stretching afterward. It's a good thing I didn't have to work today! I have not done a heavy DL since my back injury last year, I just couldn't. So that PR today was SWEET, especially after my disappointment yesterday. Strengthening my back was one of my goals with this programming, so I am happy.
10am- 1/4C sweet potato, 3 oz chicken breast
2pm- turkey off the bied -unmeasured, olive oil mayo, spaghetti squash
6pm- turkey again, cucumber, tomato, olive oil mayo
