Just finished my 7th crossfit workout, really liking it so far! Lots of scaling, but covered in sweat & sore every day. Diet is much cleaner, still needs work, but much better. Tough getting shown up by girls, but keep telling myself "Think about 6 months or a year from now", I'll be a sexy beast! J/K on sexy beast part, just want to be healthy & not a lard butt.
Yeah, they really mean you have to check your ego at the door! I just hit my 100th workout and I can hang with some of the girls and beat a couple occasionally but that's about it.
I remind myself that;
A. I compete with myself.
B. Most of those "girls" are younger than my kids. and C. I'll get stronger.
I have not "drunk the Kool-aid" at this point as I still have some issues with the sheer volume of some of the workouts but I'm seeing improvement in my fitness. I tend to be the kind of person that doesn't "drink Kool-aid" anyway. I think people should do what they want. Just because I do something, doesn't mean I'm going to run around telling everyone else they should be doing it to.
And that goes for material possessions too. Car brand, gun choice, etc. Most of it is good. The decisions are subjective most of the time.
No treadmill at home, but my workplace has a nice gym with just about any piece of equipment you can think of. How do you meal prep, just do a week at a time and freeze it?
Meal prep was a big deal for me. Having healthy food I can throw in a lunch box on the way out the door made not eating at restaurants much easier.
Just did 17.1 RX, but just missed time cap. I'm not terribly disappointed since I'm a rookie at this.

Honestly this is week one for meal prep stuff. My wife and I each found a few recipes and we're trying them out. What we like we'll keep for the rotation and throw out the recipes we didn't like.
I did breakfast:
Zucchini/banana oatmeal muffins. They are a bit bland but heated up with some strawberry jelly they are worth eating
Omelete wraps: friend an egg thinly in canola oil, then added some cheese. Then added some guacamole and ham and wrapped it all up. Wrapped in saran wrap and tossed those in the freezer. Defrost 45s then high for one minute is working well.
I eat one of each for breakfast and I'm usually not hungry until about 1p, but I drink a protein shake after working out too.
lunch/Dinner was two different kinds of chicken/veggies/rice. Those we put in containers and just microwave when time to eat. Costco has some containers that are decent, made in Canada. A lot of the Amazon ones break and fall apart from the reviews I've seen. May be worth going glass in the long run but we'll see what happens.
Good job! I did it scaled with 35# DB snatches and 20" box step overs. I changed hands on the way down which worked well for me. But I hate burpees. A lot. I paused after number six in the first set
I completed 182 reps in 20 minutes.
Impressive.
Congrats to everyone who tried something outside of their comfort zone in an effort to live healthier. In July I was at my heaviest weight at 255lbs. By October I was down to 230lbs. Mostly just taking sugar out of my diet and reigning in my carbs. Now I'm at 229ish and I'm competing in the International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Spring Open In Chicago April 1st and need to be about 219lbs and will put me pretty close to single digit body fat so I'm pushing it. I'm going back to intermittent fasting to help shed the extra lbs. I really like doing this and I find it pretty easy. You might give it a try.

That workout was no joke. Made it through the first 4 rounds and then finished 17 of the dumbbell snatches in the last round before I hit the 20 minute time limit. Probably could have finished if I had another 5 minutes. I might have been able to finish in the 20 minutes if I had tried the scaled version instead of RX.
I am pretty happy with my 2017 thus far. I have done 38,000 push-ups (plus whatever was in my workouts for the day) and have worked out 53/55 days.
My goal is to cut another 6% points off my body fat.

I was wondering too. Some gyms have a pod you can get in. Also some scales use an electrical current to estimate it. I'm curious.
I have one of the scales that does the electrical current thing to measure the percentage.
it was like $40 on Amazon. Probably not the most accurate thing in the world but should be good enough for what I need it to do.

My wife did women's scaled today for 17.1. 20# and 20" box step overs. Did it in 17:14. She's a beast
Nice work
I have seen it done with calipers and charts.
You pinch the skin in a few different places and do some math.
You can compare with pictures to have a rough estimate.
Also I'm not sure it's really needed to know your exact body fat percentage unless you're some kind of professional athlete.

I think I'm somewhere between 3-32% body fat then
my wife made a bunch of taco bowls with turkey tonight for meal prep. They look awesome...
I decided if I feel good enough I'll try 17.1 again this evening

Did 17.1 on Saturday, that was a one-and-done workout for sure for me. Had 15+ people in our gym doing it Saturday morning, pretty cool atmosphere to be in. I completed the RX'd version in 17:28, and my back and shoulders have been feeling it ever since. Took a nice little tumble off the box on my 3rd-to-last rep on the burpee box jumps, so my shin has an extra souvenir too. 
I need to get my meal prep more consistent. It makes a huge difference in how I feel during the week. Dinner is usually my weakest meal, I'm not home till 7-8 most nights and I'm terrible about taking the time to eat well if I don't have something pre-made. I do pretty good for breakfast and lunch most of the time.
