July 4th Weekend - Falling off the Wagon Hurts

All around this past weekend was Amazing, one of the best weekends I've had in a long time.  Accomplished a lot around the house, had a few great workouts and hung with friends.  Food wise....yeah not as great.  I did poorly with my food.  Ice Cream, wings, soft pretzels...I could not avoid them.  They are three of my favorite things and they were in front of me a lot.  In fact one of the more hilarious conversations took place because of the ice cream.

Dennis (holding a pint of ice cream): This is my last spoonful

Jackie:   Wow Dennis, you really have some self control

Dennis:  no...It's because there is none left.

I downed a pint of ice cream in about 15 minutes.  14 year old girls who just got dumped could not compete with me.  I'd have beaten Kobiyashi in eating ice cream.  I couldn't help it...it was SO DELICIOUS!  

So what now? How do you recover from food infidelity?  Well...it's like riding a bike...you have to have a short memory and just get right back on.  You have to know how to forget when it comes to dieting, you're gonna make mistakes.  If you stress over them it will cause more harm than good.  So this week, I will forget that happened.  I'll lose the points and just get on getting on.  

End of the bike ride

Workouts

Saturday my wife, a friend and myself rode the bike trail from Valley Forge park to the Philadelphia museum of art.  It was by far the longest ride of my life at 44 miles round trip.  Trip details can be found here.

The Ride

Sunday was partner WOD day at Crossfit610 and it was a fun one actually.  While one partner held a position the other had to do as many reps as possible of a motion.

1. WALL SITS WITH PUSH PRESS (95/65)
2. PLANK HOLD WITH MAX PULLUPS
3. HANDSTAND HOLD WITH ABMAT SITUPS
4. RING DIP HOLDS (SUB BOX HOLDS) - PISTOLS
5. 200M RUN WITH ROW FOR CALORIES

I did the prescribed motion!!!  I can now do the 95lb push press which is really exciting for me.  I'm moving up in weights very quickly now, even as I am not losing a lot of weight.

Diet

a mess.  I did not add up the points yet, but Sunday is likely <10 and Saturday is prolly a lot of the same.
