"Elizabeth"
21-15-9 reps of:
Clean 135 lbs
Ring Dips
Max effort for shortest time.
This is following a warmup of:
3 rounds x 15 reps of:
Overhead Squats (weighted or unweighted)
Glute Ham or Regular Situps
Back Extensions
Pull Ups
Dips
Doesn't sound too bad but its killer. You can find examples and tutorials for all the excersizes and a ton of information regarding the "sport" at www.crossfit.com There is also a scaled (lower levels scaled for beginners and women) version of the WOD here I think this would be a fun way for everyone to get in shape and motivate each other. If anyone is interested, post up!

Starfish Sandy, glad to hear you like it. Do you have a favorite workout?
UWFan, Give it a look, if you have any questions let me know. You'll either love it and get addicted to it, or you will despise it so much you'll never want anything to do with it again. Depends on how much you like pain and misery haha.

As far as pictures go, I can't put pictures on this computer but I'll post up my progress when I get back to the states. Fair enough? For now all I can do is post times for the WOD and measurements/weights. The biggest problem I'm having is diet. MRE's aren't exactly perfect for maintaining a good diet and the chow hall believes that EVERYTHING should be fried or made on a grill with ten times too much grease and oil. I have managed to cut out all soda of every kind, no fruit juice (too much sugar), limited starches, no fast food style stuff from the chow hall (burgers, wings, hot dogs, pizza etc). Just water and black coffee and gatorade. Can't wait to get back to the states and make my own food!
Time for todays workout was 10:13. I'll post up tomorrows workout and time if anyone is interested in following along.
Current measurements are:
6'2
205
33 in waist
Goal is to either cut down to a nice dry 195 or maintain the 205 and increase muscle mass. Wish me luck. Anyone else want to join me in my quest for the healthy beach body?

I do about 45 mins of either the elipitcal (sp?) or the "wave" at the gym and then about 15-20 of circuit weights - my blood sugar can drop in a flash - so it just depends how long I can last.
I have a friend in my weight watchers class who has lost 130 pounds. Yes, 130 pounds, she keeps me motivated. Quite a gal.
I hope to dive for as long as possible - so I'm okay with having to work for it.

My typical weekly workout schedule looks like:
- Recumbent bike at home before work, Mon-Fri for 30 minutes
- Mon/Wed/Thurs I stay at work after my shift, and do 45-60 minutes on either a treadmill or elliptical
- Tues, I stay at work after my shift, and do some type of strength training, but there is no fixed set of exercises or number of reps. I tend to work my upper legs (quads & glutes, for climbing into boats in full dive gear), biceps (I hate tricep work), and lower back & core.
- Fri/Sat/Sun, my workout consists of housework, yardwork, or projects. Or sitting on the couch reading a good book, whichever I choose!

I'm with you there on the life time struggle. Over the years I've done just about every diet out there, but Weight Watchers is the one that really has worked best for me. It all boils down to portion control, and incorporating exercise into your diet plan. I start to have problems when I get lazy, stop planning my meals and get back into the fast food habit. Personally I've been back on Weight Watchers for the last couple of weeks, and I've lost 3-4 pounds. As soon as I get back into an exercise routine I expect to accelerate my progress. I'm going to look into the Crossfit thing you guys have been talking about!I have lost 21 pounds since my joining of weight watchers - it's a life time struggle for me. I just like food!
