Is it possible to get Diabetes from one weekend?

Holy sugar overload. This past weekend was a vacation weekend for Karen and I and boy did I take it easy. It was super relaxing to just sit on hte beach and do nothing and I needed it. I could not have asked for nicer weather. But taking 3 days off of crossfit was a mistake. A big one...

Oh so worth it.
What didn't I eat this weekend? Well if it was good for you then I prolly missed it. Here is a list of some of the stuff I ate.

Salt Water Taffy
Gummy Dollar Coins
Ice Cream (3 servings)
Cooke ice cream sandwich
Caramel Pop-Corn
Pancakes (twice)
Sausage
Lobster Tail (drenched in butter of course)
Steak (may have been the healthiest thing I ate)
and a few beers.

Yeah...over indulge much? My body hates me. My mind hates me. But my tastebuds love me. :-)  (oh and my skin hates me...sun burn OWWWW!)

What advice do I have to give today? Do as I say...not as I do. I am not happy about what I did, but being strict for so long led me to it. Because of this failure of a weekend I decided that I need to set a goal for myself.
Early Morning Walk on the Beach

GOAL: I WILL BE UNDER 160lbs before my 30th birthday.

Leaves me about 1 month ot lose about 5-10lbs. Doable? YES! Easy? NO!

Tomorrow I will go into how I plan on accomplishing this goal.

WOD

Strength: 75% x 5; 85% x 3; 95% x 1+ of both back squat and push press
WOD:  Helen- 3 rds of 400m run, 21 kb swings, 12 pull-ups

Strength:  Killed it.  Ended up doing 4 of 205lbs (215 is my 1rm) on the back squat.  and doing 3 of 100% of my 1rm push press.

WOD  Did ok here.  Was able to do the first round unbroken and then rarely rested on the second and third round.  My Time was 11:37

I also went back for a second round of working out this evening and have some great news to share!  First off...I was able to do a 165 squat clean!  I tried 170 but failed so I know my new 1rm for that.  I also banged out 61 DU in a row!  I was just trying to get to my previous pr of 38 and just kept on going.  Felt great to breat the half century mark...100 here I come!
