should have rested

The Wod for Saturday was the clean and jerk ladder: 135 pounds. One clean the first minute, 2 the second minute, three the third, and so on. I made it 6 minutes. I was tired from working as i went to the gym, and wasn't feeling "it." I finished the sixth minute with ~10 seconds left, but didn't have the mojo to start the seventh. So I rested for 60 seconds and tried seven again. I got through four when my quads nearly caught fire from the lactic burn. I am realizing the value of rest days, and this should have been one.

I am going to give the zone diet a try. I will work on establishing a couple of routine meals for myself over the next 1-2 weeks, then try to replace that routine with my current one. it shouldn't be too hard, just have to get into it. We shall see if it is worth the work. I have been seeing good improvements without it, so it may be hard to identify the gains due specifically to the zone. Time will tell.
