Jogo WODs #159-168

In Brief

I don’t know exactly why I stopped keeping track of everything. Maybe it got to be too much to track all of my food, my workouts in 2 different places (here and beyond the whiteboard). Maybe it’s because I got so busy with work.

In that time, we did a few benchmark WODs: Fran (6:50, Rx), Murph (53:50, Rx w/o 20-lb vest), and Annie (8:53, Rx).

Now, it’s time to get back on track.

I took a long weekend “off” from Jogo—no Friday, Saturday or Monday workouts. I did Nancy (5 rounds of 400m run, 15 overhead squats) at home on Sunday afternoon. Last week was supposed to be week one of a 60-day “Lean & Green Challenge”, but it didn’t quite work out that way for me. So, I’m starting a new 60-day clock today, which will take me through August 20th.

The basic plan is this: 1) limit my food to meat, vegetables (non-starchy), nuts and seeds, fruit and oils high in monounsaturated fats (e.g. olive oil); 2) keep macronutrients in the following ranges—fat: 120-150 g/day, CHO: 90-120 g/day, protein: 180-210 g/day. In ratio, that means my calories come from—fat: ~50%, CHO: ~20%, protein ~30%.

Anyway, I’m tracking all of my food on an app on my iPhone and it’s just too much of a pain to post it all here.

Starting tomorrow, I’ll begin posting my workouts again.
