The 3 Month Hump

Nick Momrik — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:33:45 +0000

I started doing CrossFit and eating Paleo on October 31, 2011. Today puts me over the 3 month mark, which has been a brick wall for me when I did programs like P90X and 4HB. I’d get close to 3 months and switch off the program for whatever reason. With CrossFit and Paleo I’ve found the magic combination. I love each workout (even when my body hates it) and look forward to going to the gym.

Now that I’ve passed the hump I don’t see an end. I plan to do this for a very long time. Today at the gym I did 3 reps of 260 pounds in the deadlift and it was a great feeling. I’ve never moved that much weight in my life. It was almost easy.

If you want to know more about my story starting CrossFit, read CrossFit: Open Source Fitness. If you want to learn about the Paleo diet, check out The Beginner’s Guide. If you want to check out my progress head over to my CrossFit WOD blog where I keep track of everything.

Successfully used the broiler for the first time in my life. Every other attempt has ended up a burnt mess. That may have been the best steak I’ve ever cooked.

A perfect score of 100 when he already had the gold medal locked up. Bow down to Shaun White!

Rented a couple of DVDs from a Blockbuster Express. Got home and remembered the MacBook Air doesn’t have a DVD drive.

Something is horribly wrong with my Firefox install. It takes over a minute to load any site and it doesn’t respond to any actions while it’s loading the page. Might have to start with a fresh install later.

Eagled a 304 yard par 4 today. Drove the green and made a long putt. I think that’s only my 2nd eagle ever on a par 4.
