Weekend

Rest or make up WODs that you have missed.  If you didn't miss any and don't feel that you need two full days of rest then work on a "goat."  In other words do some skill work on something that you are either not very good at, or would like to be better at.  Double unders are often a goat.  Maybe try for 200 and see how many you can string together.  Perhaps it is muscle ups that you want to work on.  First work on being able to do 15 pullups and 15 dips unbroken and unassisted.  Then you can start working on the muscle up transition and developing that skill.  Handstand pushups, practice handstands.  Against the wall and then perhaps free-standing or walking.  The ability to control your core is the key to the handstand.  The pushup part is going to take shoulder strength and core strength.  Maybe some pike pushups to get an approximation of the movement.  Perhaps it is your flexibility that could use some work.  Do a mobility WOD.  You can find them on the internet or go to the "KStar" blog.  Stretch, work range of motion or whatever it is that you think you need. 

If all of the rest of that fails, then maybe do some reading on the Paleo diet or if you have a kitchen. . . cook something. 

By the way, I was reading the actual Paleo Diet book today and alcohol is allowed.  In moderation of course.  It is the "Whole 30" Paleo Challenge that nixes the alcohol.  I really should have thought this through more.  I will admit that what I read in "Well Fed" is very true though.  "You have a drink.  Then your drink has a drink.  Before you know you find yourself face first in a pile of cheese fries."  That is a little dramatic, but we can see the point.  I also KNOW that I have been dropping a majority of these pounds on the back of alcohol.  I am starting to get a little suspicious that alcohol slows the metabolism. 

On other notes, even though all 4 of us who attempted the 12 egg omelette challenge in January failed, I have been thinking that I could give it another go.  None of us realized that the home fries and biscuits would be there.  I was mentally defeated when they dropped it in front of me.  I ate a solid 2/3 of the meal however.  Each of us also failed to heed the advice of the server on how to go about eating it all.  Armed with that information and a new comfort level with the 7 pounds of food I am thinking of trying it again.  Last time we had sushi and beers the night before.  I wasn't even hungry when we sat down.  This time I am thinking of throwing it down the Saturday before Easter in a sort of homage to the "Kegs and Eggs Celebration" that won't be this year.  I think a key part is to have a "partner" doing the challenge with you.  My parents will be here.  I am thinking that coming off 9 weeks of paleo and then a Good Friday fast I will be primed to throw down 7 pounds of food on Saturday morning.  The only question is whether I can talk my father into trying it also.  I have Jonny already "on the hook" for a return trip to the Broken Yolk the next time he is in San Diego.  We are going to give it a go.  I am convinced that I can do it.  It is only food.  You just need to put it in your mouth and swallow it.  I am thinking some butter on the biscuits and ketchup on the homefries this time.  I was trying to avoid the excess calories last time.  Not now.  I just want it to taste good.  If it tastes good then I can eat it.  I will use the chili off the omellette to dress up those potatoes too.  This is all contingent on the paleo challenge not coming down to that last day however. 

Sounds like a cool plan, right?  I will make sure to take video.  Jonny has some that he should put on Facebook.
