022509 – Karen (subbed)
Workout – TCA says Karen (150 wall balls), but sub for shoulder
– 600AM – 1 mile run, 1/2 time rest, 1 mile run – PR’d at 6:13 on the first mile,
kept the second mile under 7 min as well (6:43). Not having the shoulder
is forcing me to work on my lower body/running. As much as it sucks, it
is good for me. I just want my shoulder back at this point, though.
-600PM – Karen – left handed, 12 pound ball, 150 wall balls… I looked like I was
working on my left handed jumper with a 12 pound ball. Finished in 7:49…
wonder how I would have done if I had both arms and a 20 lb ball. Still can’t
fully extend my right arm with any sort of load or quickness though. sucks.

-1230PM – [4] – 6 oz salmon, 1/2 small avocado, 2 large bell peppers, 8 oz zucchini,
8 oz yellow squash. Took forever to make the veggies last night, but they’re

on tweaking my zone:
I tweaked my zone because I was not seeing the results I wanted. I felt good but my body fat was not changing like I was hoping. After reading some of Robb Wolf’s stuff (robbwolf.com) I agreed with him that the zone had more carbs then I needed. He says that it is a farce that each meal needs to be exactly balanced and that many athletes increase their fats with great success. So I decided to drop my carb blocks from 17 to 8. To offset that Robb recommended adding 3 fat blocks for every missing carb block in a meal. So my lunch was 4 blocks of each now its 4 blocks of proteins, 2 carb blocks and 10 fat blocks.
