This weighing myself thing ...

I think I'm going to have to not be terribly anal about this.  I need to replace the batteries in the scale and make sure things are good there.  But I also need to do this for a few weeks and see where things come out and average them over a couple of days.  The numbers seem to vary depending on whether I've just showered or not, and whether I've just eaten or not.  I'm going to try and do this immediately after getting up each morning.  Since that is completely unlikely to happen, I'm going to just plan to average these over 3-4 days of measurements.

Today: 159.6/19.2/55.4/6.4/3062

2009 Goals

  1. Stop eating like a horse (3 mos)
    Yah ... this has become a bit of an issue.  I've been liking food just a little too much the past little while.  So.  We're going to switch things up and start watching what goes in our mouth for a few months to see what happens.  The goal here is to see if I can drop my bf% by 5% in 3 months.  Will have a look at the end of the first month and see if that is realistic.  Going to track daily weights/percentages to keep myself honest here.

  2. Deadlift 2.5x myself
    This is sitting as a whole year goal right now.  My current max is 278 (I think).  Came close to pulling 300 the other day but it just wasn't going to happen.  Anyway, I currently weigh about 160, so that puts this goal at exactly the 400lb mark.

  3. 100 snatches / 24 kg / 5 minutes
    This is a simple goal.  Have already done 70.  Nothing to see here.  Aiming for 6 months.  Going to try and do this in less.
Today: 164/20.4/54.7/6.6/3105

The first of 10 things to love about the holidays ...

Ok ... something totally random for a while.

The first thing I love about the holidays is that there are people playing music in the MUNI underground. Ok ... I take that back. The thing I love about the holidays is that there are GOOD MUSICIANS playing holiday music in the MUNI underground. Usually it's a tone deaf homeless person with a guitar case. Today, I passed a string quartet and was still smiling an hour later.

Today was the confusing workout mix.
1min long cycle @ 20kg
1min off
1min snatches @ 20kg
1min off
1min double jerks @ 16kg
1min off
(2 minute break)
(and repeat)

No major issues.

The rest of Dec & Jan are going to be warrior diet months.
Will evaluate at the end of Jan and figure out where to go from there.
