Not that I haven&#8217;t been trying during Superbowl Sunday, Il&#8217;s birthday dinner, UFC fight night, and other sundry events. I&#8217;ve been trying to drink more water lately, and I find I lose several pounds overnight. Part of it is getting up and going to the bathroom, but I&#8217;m not quite sure that&#8217;s the whole story. A pound is about a pint of water, and I can&#8217;t be losing three pints a night.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve really been dragging at both workouts this week. Tonight we had four rounds of the same set of exercises and I was certain after the first round that I wouldn&#8217;t make it all the way through. I hope I start feeling better as the week goes on because Saturday is Fight Gone Bad. Not that I really care. I have adopted certain strategies that give me a lower score. For example, on the box jumps I actually JUMP onto the box and JUMP off of the box. Some people step up and\/or down, which is quicker. I just don&#8217;t want to show up at Crossfit San Francisco and look like a goober again. There is the part where I actually AM a goober, but still.<\/p>\n<p>The high point of my day was going to Target to buy a toilet brush for my new bathroom. I also signed up for &#8220;Singles CPR&#8221; because the local Red Cross sent me a notice just about the time I thought about signing up for a certification anyway. Plus, as Megan pointed out, screw the Libertarians.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I made a miscalculation in my weight and I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;ve gained all that much.
