Lifting & Eating. At the same time...

Quick entry tonight - I want my 8 hours!

Loads of sleep last night as I had a day of and didn't get up til 10:30am. Hahahaha! Never meant to sleep in this late, but there ya go.

11:00, Breakfast (?brunch): 3 egg omlette with 1/2 a red onion, a pepper and 4 or 5 chestnut mushrooms.

Mantra. Mmaaantraaa!

Throughout the day I've been grazing. Not too bad though, I hope.

12:30 - 5:00pm, snacks: 2 apples, a plum, a nectarine, 1/4 of a cantaloupe melon, a thick slice of beef (from a joint), half a chicken breast and (out of sheer boredom and wanting to taste something different) a protein shake (Chocolate flavour. Mmmm).

Training.
As I wanted to do the weightlifting Barbell Club class at 8pm, I went to the 7pm CrossFit class, which was the busiest class I've ever seen!
Back squat 4 x 8 (60, 80, 90, 80kg). I only really intended for the 60kg to be a warm up, but with 5 of us rotating on one bar, we ran out of time. I pulled back from 90kg to correct my form.
Then we did Helen. 3 rounds of [400m, 21Kb swings, 12 pull-ups] for time. I used the Rx 24Kg Kb but can't do pull ups so scaled to a green band. I've been using a purple band recently for pull-ups when doing sets of 5 - 8. I can't do any more unbroken with a purple band. I don't know if there are some new green bands with a bit more spring in them, or if I've got much better at pull-ups since I last used a green band, but there was too much assistance to the point where I felt I was bouncing around, did some chest to bars for fun, etc. Time was 10m 25s.
I genuinely think there are some new, more resistant green bands!!

Weightlifting class was snatch practice.

Evening food:  I took along a lunchbox to the box which contained 1/2 a large sweet potato, a thick slice of beef, a third of a chicken breast and one of my breakfast muffins from yesterday. My intention was to stuff my face between classes, or at least get the sweet potato down.  Well, that didn't happen!! Managed (forced down) a piece of SP (I had cut it into 4). Couldn't get the rest down straight away. I kept my luchbox with me and got through the sweet potato and the beef by the time the Barbell class had finished and ate the rest in the car. Not ideal, but didn't want to be eating at 9:30/10:00pm.

At home I had some mixed nuts (6 almonds, 3 walnut halves, 3 cashews and 2 brazils).

I've been drinking carbonated water a lot. I do anyway - I like a bit of fizz!! Is this ok?

Right, off to bed...
