11 days straight of Crossfit ... ;-( but a cheat ... my body is totally sore ... minor injury to my elbow

OK ... my entire body is sore ... esp my legs. I feel strong but tired and really hungry all the time which has been leading to cheats on the maintenance part of the diet.

I am looking forward to may 1st and will be recording all my food and exercises and stuff ... maybe not the whole workout but some of it.

OK first step done ... I have created a youtube channel to document my progress.

A few caveats. 1) I will drink coffee 2) I will use up to 2 protein shakes per day 3) I will weigh myself daily for documentation purposes ... I dont recommend #3 for anyone but feel that I want to show the progress of my weight. I will also wear the same clothes to see how they fit.

As far as my body type goes .. I am quite stocky. I bulk up muscularly much easier than I ...

So since doing crossfit I have gained a total of 30 lbs. Now while I think much of it was muscle, I also think at least 10 lbs of that was fat. I am not sure of the ratio but my pants are a tab bit tighter. 20 lbs seems like a lot of muscle to gain, however I was never doing back or leg exercises and they are big muscle groups so I am thinking that I went from no leg muscle to fairly strong leg and back muscles ... that could be 20 lbs I definitely look more fit now than i did when I started. ...

Heading out now ... wish me luck
