Changeover day / Competition day

So today is my changeover day, where I change from night shift to day shift.. Nothing really changes, when you're underground it's still pitch black without the lights on...

The important things about today are:
1. I get a full 24 hours off
2. Means I'm getting closer to home time and I get to see my toots again
3. I know I have goodies waiting at home for me... (thank you Life As RX'd)

So, with my 3 on 1 off schedulle, would you believe that my day 3 is TODAY? means it's time for something special and since I have a comp coming up on the 31st of March I think it's the day to test out my diet and training with a mock comp day, which will be 3 workouts today:

A chipper of a day

So, a guy at work comes up to me and says "dude you're huge, what do you do for training?"

So today he wants me to start training him in CrossFit... This should be fun

Sorry, it's been a while

Sorry guys (all 3 of you who read this) but while I was in the mines the wifi died and couldn't connect, then when I got back I totally forgot..

As you may also notice I haven't been posting my meals. Main reason for that is because while I'm at work, all food is given to us and I'm unable to weigh and measure food.. Which sucks, so I have to guestimate my food intake.

So, from now on (where I can) i'll be getting in here as much as possible!

So stay tuned for tomorrow's session...
