Morning weight: 159.0 lbs Woke at 7:20 am. Looking forward to beating 325 lbs on today’s max deadlift. Last night’s sleep Sleep duration was acceptable, but quality was shabby. I took a 3 hour nap from 9 - 12, then tossed and turned in bed for 1.5 hours. Decided to get a drink of water at 1:52 am, but was sidetracked by this article on slate into fiddling around with my digital...

Sorry to inject politics, but...
muslimswearingthings: This is Ramez Al Mualla. He’s a Muslim proudly serving in the US Army. He’s dressed in garb… and he’s on an airplane. 3 quick points (from Ben Willenbring): More veterans and active duty service members should be speaking out against the growing chorus of civilian chicken hawks bent on slandering muslims. In fact, they should be loudly telling these civilians to SHUT...

I just backhanded a fly: in mid-air
I was about to step into the shower, and spotted a fly out of the corner of my eye. Without hesitation, I backhanded the little sucker, sending it crashing into the wall and ricocheting into the toilet bowl. From the looks of it, the blow only phased him - he was still conscious. Pre-crossfit, this would have been unthinkable. No photos, so you’ll have to take my word for it.

Morning Weight: 158.2lbs Weight seems to have stopped dropping - which is good… I think. Tonight is no gi night at bjj - where I plan to work on my side control.

She admits this in the car ride to...

Morning weight: 157.2 lbs There must be a wormhole in my gastrointestinal tract. Where in the fuck are the calories going? Engineers from nasa need to be knocking on my door pronto.
