Filled with ground beef, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes... A small ice cream cone.

I did my first HSPU yesterday (Three of them, actually) on the ground. I plan on making some parallettes soon, then I will work full ROM. More on that in a bit. Ive managed to get myself grounded on friday (Nice, I know), so I am only able to use the computer at school. Here is my log for yesterday (Ive forgotten sunday)
Most of you will cringe at my diet.
Yesterday's Diet 5 scrambled eggs coated in cheese 1/2 cup oatmeal. 4- 8oz Go-Fasts 2 pieces of GoFast Gum. Can of Monster Chipotle Steak burrito 1 cup coca~cola 4 cups of whole milk maybe 1/3 pound chicken 1/5 (ish) pound of some sort of nasty frozen steak Bout a Cup of Broccoli 2 cups of Salad (Drenched in Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar) 3 cups (popped) of popcorn.
Sounds about right. Yesterday's Workout I FELT good after doing stuff... ~15 minutes handstand practice 3+1+1+1 = 6 HSPU 6+5+4+3+1+1+1+2 = 23 pullups 15 x3 = 45 close pushups.
Not actually that great... but hey. I was proud of my HSPUs!

12-1-08 Log
Diet 1/2 cup oatmeal 3 scrambled eggs 1 cup whole milk 2 pop tarts 1 banana half a bag of Carmel Corn Quakes 1/4 chipotle chicken burrito 2 8 oz GoFasts Imitation qdoba burrito, made by my mother (Beans, Rice, ground beef, cheese) 1/2 gallon Whole Milk
Thats mostly it, methinks
Workout I felt EXTREMELY weak for some reason. Not neccessarily sore, Just... weak. I could barely hold a flag, I could only manage a few pullups, Pushups felt rediculously harder than they should have. Its like all of a sudden I gained 20 pounds or something. Anyways, it went something like this Minimal Flag Practice at school about 10 minutes total handstand practice. about 10 pushups. 3 weighted pushups (About 30 pounds) 5 or so pullups 3 HSPU's 2 dips
Pathetic
Injury? I think my knee may be injured. Yesterday it felt really weak as well, and a bit sore.Today (12-2 as of filling out the log for yesterday)I was walking up the stairs, and when I twisted my foot to turn, it felt like something tore in my knee, and now it hurts.
Dammit!

Its been a while since Ive posted, due to a combination of things... Grounding (mainly) and the computerlab at school being down= no access to computer, till today. The past week and a half or so that its been since I posted has been.. decent. I havent trained a whole lot due to my knee (Going in for an MRI tomorrow, I believe it may be a torn Meniscus and I dont want to risk damaging my knee any more before I see what I need to do). I've been doing conditioning though, and have started wrist strengthening (sortof like sledgehammer excersises but using an adjustable dumbell with a weight at one end... looks something like this ----[|||]---().) Diet has been alright, I seem to be gaining about a pound every 5 days or so, lean muscle. I was sick a while ago (didnt eat for 4 days after hurling what had previously been in my stomach) so that was a bit of a setback towards my weightgain goal, but Im back up to where I was before now. I tried to GOMAD a while ago, but was unable to consume the entire gallon due to lack of time, mild lactose intolerance, and a whiny mother who insists that too much milk is bad for me. So its more of a HalfGOMAD for me, plus cheese  . I love cheese. I can do 2 pushups with my oldest brother on my back now, who weighs about 60 pounds. I hope to eventually be able to do it with all my siblings on my back (combined weight of about 130 pounds at 60, 40, and 30 pounds) I can also do a few dips with my backpack on (about #10 or so, not too heavy). I dont have access to a barbell, so deadlifts and the like arent options for me. Basically, I remember from reading the How to construct a workout routine article that strength gain requires about 3 max weight reps, like 3 sets or something, correct? So is doing 3 sets of 3 pushups with my brother on my back helpful? Oh yeah, Im going for strength now. (incase I didnt make that clear above) I think that about covers anything worth noting (and a few things not).. So... uhh, yeah. Thats all folks. I think. Maybe not. Oh well

So it wasnt a torn meniscus... it was Patellar Tendinitis. Too much use. Fah. I've rested it up sufficiently, I believe. Fridays Jam felt quite good.
Pulled off my first FrogStand Planche to Handstand on... Thursday, I believe. It was quite awesome. Handstands are going well, I can hold them for about 15 seconds, though I have to move around quite a bit to remain on my hands. My Broad Jump is as big as Xian's (And he says his is 9'5", so im going to go with that) I hope to pick up SS sometime after christmas, start implementing that. Practiced Flags on friday (A LOT), something I hadn't done in about 3 weeks due to the cold weather. The first few were awkward, but I got the rest (Vertical though). I think I need to work my Obliques more in order to be able to preform a horizontal Flag. Dunno How though.
Finally ungrounded, so I will be able to post more stats more frequently. As for this week, Ive got about 3 solid days of Training with the guys from Denver Family and a few others planned out, so I probably wont be doing too much extra conditioning

I just need to find one that is drawn in the ground. I also need to find a good way to build up more leg power.

Hey man...
Don't push it with your knee.
If you feel like its OK to work with, give it two more weeks before going back to high impact exercises like jumps, landings, kongs, etc. This stuff will REALLY hinder your recovery with patellar tendinitis and make it worse. The pain signals usually are cut off about 2 weeks before total recovery. Keep this in mind before you get right back into it or you will be on a rollercoaster of recovery with it for years. Get this early and rest now...not for 6 months when it gets really bad.

Im going to exclude Christmas Day from my log... Diet was fine, no real workout.
Woke up this morning with some leftovers from Yesterday, so I cooked myself up a pretty meal... not. Today's Diet Omelet 5 eggs bout 1 oz of ham bout 1 oz of cheese 1/2 cup Oatmeal 2 Cups Milk
Cant recall eating lunch... though it seems I should have. 2 hardboiled eggs... not much. Mighta been more.
About a cup of Potatoes Small steak 1.5 cups broccoli 2 cups milk
bowl of popcorn 3 hardboiled eggs some candy
Todays workout Well, I looked at the crossfit page for some reason today, told me to do 100 of Pullups, Pushups, situps, and squats for time. I made a vague attempt... Though not really timed and not well organized In all About 20 pullups (Kinda pathetic, Ive lost strength) Probably 100 pushups spread throughout the day about 30 situps No squats, they hurt my knee.
Mehh...

Its been... what.. 2 days? Well, I think im terrible at this game. Ive been finding that im not really working out like I probably should. I do a few pushups here, a couple pullups there, stand up using one leg when I think of it, and it seems like im not really getting anywhere. I can hold a handstand now for a little bit, though I still have to move around on my hands quite a bit. I managed a HSPU a while ago, but haven't tried since I smashed my hand. I can manage just about everything again, but like I said, im not really sufficiently training and thus not really getting anywhere, muscle wise.
Yesterdays diet was lacking, (And by that, I mean i didnt get enough to eat, been feeling a loss of apetite recently) Yesterdays workout was nonexistant.
Today's Diet went something like this... Bowl of cereal in the morning Handful of goldfish sometime later Peanut butter sandwich 1 avacado About a cup of macaroni and cheese half a chicken/provolone sandwich. And not real chicken. Those nasty patties 1 cup milk 2 slices cheese
Today's Workout was also dismal, like most others 20 or so squats, trying to teach my little brother 20 or so pullups, spread out over the entire day.
In about half an hour I am going to try to do 75 pushups within... some random amount of time.
On the plus side, I did obtain myself a copy of "Starting Strength" and I will at least Read that.

When you lose motivation it is usually a good time to reevaluate your goals. Do that, and form a plan of action. Lets see if that helps with your motivation!

Okay. My previous goals looked like this.
Horizontal Flag--- Nowhere near. 20+ second freestanding handstand - Im at about 10 seconds tops, whilst moving quite a bit. Muscle up - no 20 consecutive pullups - currently at about 5-6 50 consecutive pushups - currently at about 20-25 Being able to consistently run a mile - Nah Handstand from Planche - Ive pulled it off like twice Flips - No. not enough time spent in the gym
Which means I haven't made any of them.
My issue is more a lack of a set schedule, or something of the like. I have no semblance of routine, so I end up just sorta wallowing through the days, weeks, months. Ive just gotta come up with a defined routine, or rotated routine.
