rare steak, gooey caramel brownies, and whiskey straight up….

though I should note, on principle, that I don’t believe in “cheat” days. That would imply there is something wrong in eating the above meal, and that is irrefutably false .

Instead of ‘cheat’ days and ‘diet’ days, I stick with the below guideline:

Eat well, eat hungry, exercise more.

Two Chedder style burgers from Cookout accompanied by an Oreo shake, and as much food from Taco Bell as I can fit in my passenger seat. Stop by the grocery store on the way home, grab some Ben and Jerry’s (Americone Dream). Then, take it all home and bury myself in a pile of food on the sofa while watching random terrible movies.

what’s this Cookout?

12 oz ribeye. Oreoe shake. Broccoli. Birthday cake. I know broccoli isn’t cheating but it would take 12 cups to even out the carbs/proteins for The Zone.

Unfortunatley, I now have a nutritionist who is 4’10″ of pure evil furry and I’m scared of here. So until I’m done fighting, I don’t see me calling 1-800-Lou-ToGo anytime soon.

2 full racks of ribs with extra BBQ sauce. I’m a little guy, but I can eat… lol

CHEESEBURGER! Apparently, my new favorite is 5 guys. I blame Bea, Rich, Sarah, and Becky for this development.

Unfortunately, I now have the same nutritionist as Tom and she’s scary as shit. So, I don’t do a lot of cheating.

Like Ashley, I’m training for the sectional so doing a bit of deviation from the programmed wods. Today was OHS. Sets of 5 at 75 lbs and then a set of 10 at 65 lbs. Metcon was: 12 min AMRAP of box jumps, DB push presses and double unders. Got 11 1/3 rounds.

So good to see people posting again!

Bojangles fries or tots from Dains. oh my heaven.

but i’m not really much of a subscriber to the cheat meal either. i’m more of an everything in moderation kinda gal. if i go nuts on some tots, i eat more veggies the next day to make up for it.

and apparently the key to getting people to post is to ask about junk food.

Maggianos family style. Any dish. Followed up by cheesecake factory dessert, then a movie to digest. Preferably lots of gore so my body can process the food quickly enough to hit a late night pops back door pizza and chocolate lava cake…..and some fish oil. Then wake up and read Greg ryan’s how to get ripped while studying.

This is making me hungry…
I think it would have to be a parker and otis pimento cheese sandwich, and then anything peanut butter for dessert: peanut butter pie, peanut butter cookies, peanut butter gooey butter cake, you get the picture.

Second ever Rx WOD, 55# on the push press segment. 234 reps. Not as many reps as a lot of folks, but I’m happy to be Rx for a change.

Off to eat salmon and broccoli. Yum.

Congrats on the RX Naomi

Also, should you need an assistant for the cheating seminar, I will be more than happy to volunteer…perhaps bring in some not-so zone friendly desserts to demonstrate with?

Dave – “What’s this Cookout?” Is that for real. If so you need to rush out to one ASAP.

Didn’t do a WOD today. Feeling a bit off so I’ve decided to do Filthy Fifty on Thurs instead of taking that as my usual rest day. I did work on Split Jerks though w/Allison watching my form. Need my lifting shoes to get here quickly.

Mmmmmm…. Feast Skills. I’d be all over that.

Cheats?
Sunrise biscuit kitchen chicken biscuit
Potato chips
Dry roasted peanuts

WOD today?
337
RX
That said, I didn’t know what my 1 rep max was on the press so I did 65#. Pretty glad I didn’t do much more considering that my reps plummeted from round 1 to round 2 on that one.

I second Landy’s Bojangles and Tom’s suggestion for a Feast Skills seminar or….GOBAD (Gallon of Beer a Day)!

My favorite “cheat” meal? That would have to be risotto.

Also, on the topic of burgers, which are primarily meat, hence not cheating, Five Guys, Cookout, and Char Grill are all good. I recommend the OnlyBurger truck to you Durhamites. Follow them on Twitter, Facebook, or their Web site to find out where they are.

PS – Great WOD today up here ar CrossFit Albany. I kicked some Front Squats before getting kicked by 10 rounds for time of 10 pull-ups and 10 wall balls.

that place sounds really good, but isn’t it pretty expensive? i’ve never been there, but most of the brazilian steakhouses are, so i’m just guessing.

Wowzer tonight’s WOD was fun/challenging –

Deadlifts ended with 1 at 195, 4 at 185.

Congrats to Lindsay, who kicked deadlift ass tonight.

Wod, Rx, 375 reps.

295 x 5 for deadlifts…backed off the weight because my back has been weird lately. 338? for wod (75# for press)…my shoulders were smoked before today for some reason

Approx $10 worth of Tbell (fresco cause it’s healthy duh) followed by Ben & Jerry’s (PB cup & half baked).

PS My friends and I used to do the Denny’s Lumberjack Slam for time. This was years BEFORE crossfit…true story. We hit this WOD regularly on ‘recovery’ days. I still recall a PR of 4:33

so, seriously? is no one else other than naomi up for a crossfit dinner? i’m all for keeping it low-key and inexpensive.

Ashley, I’m so there!

A big thanks to Sara C. for making me deadlift more than I thought I could tonight.

I agree–fun WOD.

I think dinner could definitely work. I spent the last 4 years eating with groups of 40 hungry girls after workouts, and restaurants always figured it out (though sometimes its nice to call ahead).

I would say Thu/weekend nights are best, pick a restaurant (low key and inexpensive) post it up here a few days beforehand, and sounds like fun .

Dain’s is always great, though smaller.
