this week

This week in CrossFit -

Practicing getting ready for hand-stands

Worked up to the 16 KG KettleBell

for Dead Lifts... not for swings

My good deed for the day.... helped a neighbor...

An Ambulance - and it wasn't me this time!

Even the Chiropractor thought it looks like I've lost weight.

These are small (men's) sweats, by the way.

This is a specific Rotor Cuff work-out...

Also known as the "come and get me" pose!

We've been working on Side Planks in Cross Fit.

So it helps the other side get stronger too.

Chicken and Pork Tenderloin...

This will be my first time cooking the pork...

It's about .7 grams of total PUFA per serving (150 g)

Got up at 4:30 am and went to the gym by 5 am...

Did some TreadMilling and stretched out!

Stayed there about an hour.

And had a great day!

I want to do that a few times a week!

Second Day - doing it!

Did it this morning, too!

6 am on the the Tread Mill

I woke up before the alarm. 

I'm sooo ready for this!

keep moving forward

That was then...

This is now...

Does it ever stop?

No it does not.

Keep moving forward, please!

Got weighed today at Cross Fit

Packed on a couple of pounds of muscle this month... 

All time high - 5 pounds total - in a year.

AND some flab  - 7 pounds total  - in a year.

IT WON'T DO!

No, no, no, you were doing fine. You had been courteous and receptive to courtesy. You had established trust with the embarrassing truth about Piggs, and now this ham-handed segue into your questionnaire. It won't do.

Oh Agent Startling, do you think you can dissect me with this blunt little tool? 

You're so ambitious, aren't you? You know what you look like to me with your gym bag and your running shoes? You look like a rube. A well-scrubbed hustling rube with a little taste. Good nutrition's given you some length of bone, but you're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you Agent Startling? You know how quickly the calories found you. All those tedious, sugar-sticky fumbling binges in the back seats of cars, while you could only dream of getting out. Getting anywhere, getting all the way to the B.M.I…

casual day

Hair Growing Days for sure around here!

Got some days off...  much needed.

All I did was sit there. Ah!

After I saved up all the money I needed for my vacation...

That's always good to be prepared-ed.

I feel good about adding back some chicken breasts - no skin....

and tuna to my diet.

They are not high in Omega 3. 

I would even call them Neutral PUFA's.

So low - they are relatively benign.

This is 100 grams of Tuna, canned, in Water

9 mg of Omega 6.

Total pufa 0.3 grams.

Super Low Fat - a dieter's dream!

Compare that to 100 grams of Tuna packed in Oil.

2489 mg of Omega 6.

That is almost 2 1/2 grams of Omega 6!

Just shoot me now!

3 GRAMS total PUFA!

Puh-leaze!

Sometimes they pack the Tuna in soybean oil.

Sometimes Olive Oil. Gotta read every label. Every time.

Are you starting to get the basics of this PUFA stuff?

I'm not sure about anything.

No ratio.

No stupid flax seed. 

No extra Fish Oil (I still take my Cod Liver Oil)

Not sure about anything except to avoid Omega 6!

That includes all the seed oils.

Most of the Nut oils.

Except for Macadamia Nuts.

They are the one "Nut" exception to the Omega 6s.

This is 1 cup - or 132 grams.

One pound is 453 grams.

So even if you ate a full pound of Mac Nuts,

That would still be about 6 grams of Omega 6.

And who hasn't done that?

Compare that to just one cup of Walnuts.

130 grams per cup  has 44 grams of Omega 6.

Over 44 GRAMS of Deadly Omega 6 per ONE cup.

You heard me. Deadly.

PLEASE don't think that all nuts are the same.

They are not!

Not all oils are the same, either!

Off we go - to learn together!

YAY!
