Started CrossFit in the last couple of weeks -- and Monday was my first official workout with them. It was super intense -- but after some sleep I feel great. I initially intended to go MTRF to CrossFit and just make it a part of my work week, but I was too tired and sore yesterday. I read a medical school website that said if you're sore, then you should rest. I slept almost 12 hours last night! Feeling much better today.
I also explored post-workout drinks and eats. Turns out I should probably have a few carbs after the workout along with some protein. I'm playing around with the idea of making some kind of post-workout shake as that would be super convinient. I'm exploring options with some of my gym-mates.
I've also switched to a mostly Paleo diet -- no dairy, no grains. It is alot of protein and a lot of veggies but is really satisfying and tasty. Plus, it has forced me to cook more, which I like! I had tacos on steamed cabbage the other night. No cheese or sour cream but loads of meat and jalepenos. So good. Prime rib a couple of nights before that with fresh green beans with onion and pecans. Very tastey!
Anyways, I assume my weight loss in the last week or so is water weight, but even so it feels good to get active and follow a straight forward diet. Simple to follow too.
I did have 4 slices of bread in the last two weeks, though, as I had a sandwhich with colleagues once and another sandwhich on a picnic. Had a few chips with one of the sandwhiches and some fruit with the other. Paleo isn't a big fan of fruit or chips.
Since CrossFit includes quite a lot of strength training, and I was sooo tired after the first workout, I'm considering taking a creatine supplement. I read on a medical school website that only 20g/day is needed to help and anymore is just excereted in the urine. Also read that coffee will eliminate the creatine's benefit, so I might cut coffee. To be honest, I'm getting enough sleep that coffee isn't a requirement in the morning anymore.
