Reviewing the Results

With hearing so many reports of BodPod results that have been disappointing, I keep thinking about what I might have done differently than everyone else. Two things stand out as possibilities - 1) I did 3 CrossFit Endurance Running WODs per week; 2) I ate A LOT and often, every 2-4 hours and included protein (and lots of it) at each of my snacks and meals.

I was rarely ever hungry and made sure that I ate really well in the hours leading up to my workouts, except in the mornings where I didn't eat before doing the CFE WODs. I did find that going in to the Challenge I ended up working out CF or CFE or both 21 days in a row and was feeling very overtrained, so I started giving myself my full day of rest at least one day a week.

I don't know how much of an impact the CFE WODs had for giving me the results that I had, but it is definitely something to consider. CFE WODs are similar to CF WODs in that they are short and intense.

Whatever the differences are, it is well worth digging to see what items can be tweaked for each person to see how they react. Each of us is different, and we each have to fine-tune food and workouts to find what works best for us.

Like I said before, it isn't all just about the body fat lost or weight lost. Every person was successful in that they learned something new about themselves....everyone improved WOD times, weights, reps, and sets. everyone challenged themselves by limiting their diets and pushing themselves harder than ever. That means more than a percentage.

Everyone, Know that you did succeed!!!!
