I made half the batch into muffin pans. Sweet stuff. Instead of 2 apples, I used one large one and 1 cup unsweetened applesauce. Should've made them into meatballs instead (pan-sear then bake). When they were done cooking, there was a lot of liquid left in the pans. So next time I know what I'll do.

Weighted Pullups, 7.5kg: 13-8-8
Backsquats went well. Felt sticky the last couple of reps each set, but I think it's the lack of experience on the last 3/4 of the lift with heavy weight. Assistance exercise is definitely in need. Presses went well and I didn't fail on any, but I guess my grip needs correcting. Weighted pullups went up well, but my hands, and more specifically, my finger joints felt crazy.

WOD: 2100 @ home
1) Pick one body weight exercise - Push Ups (as an example)5 rds of 5 reps + 10sec rest, then 36 rds of 3 reps + 10sec rest =
2) Do 3 reps and rest 10 seconds then 3 more reps…repeat
3) When it becomes tough to do 3 reps, extend the rest time to 20 seconds
4) When it becomes to tough to get 3 reps, extend rest time to 30 seconds
5) Keep doing this exercise for 15 minutes straight. As soon as it gets tough to complete 3 reps add another 10 seconds to the rest time in between sets.
Tips: Make sure to avoid failure on all of your sets, but push yourself. By avoiding failure, you are limiting fatigue and you will get in more sets and reps in the 15 minute period.

Never did this WOD before. Every 400m gets "heavier" and running form starts suffering. Great feeling in the legs though. This definitely coupled with the training I've been doing BLEW my legs up. They look thick (in a good way).

WOD: 1645 @ Urban CrossFit
warmup was 50 double unders, squat/hips stretch, 5 empty bar squats, 5 135lbs squats
Back Squat 5-5-5 @ 105kg first set, 107kg second and third
Bench Press 5-5-5 @ 60kg first set, 65 second and third
Deadlift 1 set of 5 @ 100kg, 1 rep @ 140kg, three-false starts @ 145kg
Felt good with the squats, but the last reps in each were a little tough probably due to being out of routine for so long. Bench press was EASY. Will have to find my 5-rep max so I can do that a little better, even though my arms were shaky throughout. Deadlift sucked because Craig suggested changing my start position. Need to start lifting my chest as oppossed to sitting lower and doing a heavy back extension.

Review: PCC Beef Jerky
As many of you know, my nutrition is based on the Paleo diet and one of the best snacks to have is jerky. The problem is that most commercial stuff contains so many extra shit and preservatives that the health benefit is muted. Because of this I'm going to attempt to find the best jerky around.

PCC Beef Jerky - Original
Where to buy: PCC Natural Markets
Cost: $5.99 for 4oz
Nutrition facts:
serving size 1oz
servings per container: 4
cal 90
total fat 1.5g
sodium 380mg
total CHO 7g, sugar 7g
protein 11g
Ingredients: beef, sugar, water, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, salt, flavorings (wtf?), paprika, natural smoke flavor, citric acid
Tastes good, a nice balance of sweet and salty and some pieces aren't too chewy- just like I like it. It's moist and has a bit of sauce of left on some pieces, which I love. Says it's best if consumed within 3 days, which is good because then there isn't really any preservatives (some food products advertise no preservatives but can last for weeks on end). Made somewhere in Idaho.
Me likes! And now I need some more macadamia nuts!

"Hometown Glory" - Adele
It's been a nice couple of days- I got to catch up with some of my favorite people. Spent quality time with Shakira, Nicole Diva and Jeni, convincing two of them to get up on Twitter. Missed out on Janelle, but hopefully we'll meet up soon enough. Ah life and it's mysteries.
I've had Blue Moon to end each night for the past three nights.. Good times, it's about to be over though..

Hurmmm
Ran a workout yesterday and demonstrated a couple of things, but my biceps are SORE from all those pullups. Damn I'm weak right now.
Good news that I'm up to 130 lbs now- although I'm sure it's the high carbohydrate intake I've adopted the past two weeks. This coming Monday will be the start of Operation: Healthy Andrew. Six weeks of strength training to regain my CrossFit-ness, get my body back to where I like it, and a healthy weight.
The gym should be open, I should be back into my own place, and I should be focused once again with life!
Ooh the excitement..

Hail Yees.
I want this now... Sorry Flip HD!
Nicole Diva would say that this colorway matches me.
CHECK IT OUT!

In July, you'll be able to buy the DXG-125V, which shoots 720p video using H.264 compression along with 3 MP still pics, for less than a C-note. Not only is the slab-shaped model cheap (its official price is $99.99 but you'll probably be able to find it for around $90), it's also waterproof, which means it's perfect for shooting action on the ski slopes, beach and while yachting. It comes in red, military olive and winter camouflage, and all come with a lanyard with a compass attached and run on a lithium-ion rechargeable battery. You'll have to buy an SD card to start recording.Boo, no image stabilization. Still, $100? Consider it bought.
CHECK IT OUT!

Not sleeping again..
I've been laying in bed for 2 hours now, trying to get some sleep, but I can't sleep. Ugh- I thought eveything was getting better and brighter for me, but here I am with another emo-esque post.
At least I can blog from my BlackBerry now thanks to Opera

Project: Andrew 2009
Seeing as it's the first day of the month, it'd be a good time to start something new (and it's not a joke).
Because of my recent HUGE drop in weight (I'm 15 lbs under my normal weight), I'm going to start recording my health status daily ala Craig (Urban CrossFit):
BW = Bodyweight (in the morning, with the least amount of clothing on)
Sleep = Hours of sleep
Nutrition = When and What I've eaten during the day. I'm attempting to get back to Paleo, starting at 3 days/wk strict and build up as we enter summer. I'm going to live life and enjoy what I want to enjoy- but hopefully just on the weekends.
WOD = Workout of the Day, if any. I'll also leave notes as to how I felt, previous performances and other details.
My goal is to hit my weight, look healthy and most importantly, FEEL healthy and happy. Here we go...

Last sleep's dream
Ok. This was weird. When I do dream, it's always funky and RARELY sensible.
I just remember being an uncle (though I'm still the same age) to two kids and I live in CJ's house from GTA: SA but it was all real like. I had a niece and a younger nephew. She grew up taking care of him and she had this shitty car that she'd drive everywhere. When they were at school I purchased some older car, but it was a strong muscle car with a lot of potential. They came home and I suprised them and my niece loved it. They drove off and I went elsewhere.
Then I blanked.
The next thing I remember was being at the bottom of this big-hilled neighborhood (downtown Kent?). Anywho I was with my best friend Dan and two others that I can't remember. We were in some house all of a sudden with a girl I grew up with and used to be so infactuated with who we'll call "Gwen". We were chatting and then it started snowing outside. I somehow endedup in the woods and it was dark. I was wandering for what felt like a good five minutes and then found a big mag-light. I put it in my back pocket. I found a road in the middle woods that led to some houses. Everything was blacked out and some people were in a mini frenzy. I found that car that I had purchased for my niece and started pushing it to get back to wherever the hell I was with Dan, Gwen and the others. The car was too much for me and I pushed it to the side of the road with other stranded (and abandoned) vehicles. I found my way onto some smaller train within the woods again and using my flashlight I found some big redhead girl on a motorbike. We didn't speak a word, but we felt like we wanted to help each other. I started lighting the way with the mag and she rode in front of me. I somehow kept up with the motorbike just running. Eventually we arrived back into civilation and I went inside this resort-esque looking cabin. I ran to this big underside of a flip flop to hug it and then it turned into a girl I dated who we'll call Ruby. Ruby and I kissed and she was saying how she was worried and scared and relieved I was okay. Dan and I shook hands and I couldn't help but feel people were blowing this "storm" out of proportion. Ruby and I walked around outside where it was snowing lightly and then I blanked again.
The final part of my dream was me running around the bottom of the hill again looking for the girl I'm seeing right now who we'll call Elle. I was panicked and running around. There was a huge dragon-type monster blocking me from her. I somehow fought the dragon and beat it down with just my fists. She ran up and hugged me (in good ol' cinema fashion) and we kissed. She sat me down and looked over my wounds. I was all bloodied, but not seriously injured. My "little brother" Mikey came out of nowhere and helped me back into that cabin where Dan, Gwen, Ruby, Mikey, my niece and nephew and Elle were all standing there looking down at me as I laid on a couch, resting. I passed out..
.. and that was my dream.
I have my own theories where some of these factors came from, but this was straight up ODD. I never remember dreams and these many situations in this kind of detail. Check the comments.
