Holy smokes you and MrsBram are ripped! I was at the doc w/ junior and found an article about CrossFitEndurance and read it, although I am too lazy about going out to work out to try it. I mostly do Chinups (not like you do!), pushups and crunches @ home in the AM and usually just eat eggs/ Eggbeaters w/ spinach and broccoli and a piece of toast for protein/ carbs when I'm done with my morning set. If my BG is wonky or I haven't done strength exercise, I sometimes blow off the toast.

Bram - that is awesome! I just started my 7th week of Crossfit.
I haven't experienced high's after workout now but I belieave that is cause of my diet now but I am been experiencing lows. So I have to make sure that my readings are at 170 or higher to be able to do my WOD and for it not to drop during workout.

One thing I do have to share is that I do recall before Crossfit when I would workout/excises I had to make sure I would take a hit of bolus after my workout (even if I didn't eat), somewhere between 1.0 to 2.0 units in order for my sugar not to go up after workout, and I had to make sure it was no longer then 20-30mins after I was done. This next part is odd, now if I had something to eat and bolus for it, I didn't have to take the extra bolus as I mention above...I always assumed it was my pod, thought I had to give it a push because I had it off during workout.?.?.

I'm still trying to figure out my lows...I might not be eating enough fat.

Hey @acidrock - yes she is quite the competitor too! Crossfit endurance is pretty tough on me, I prefer the shorter more intense workouts. I am currently not doing any grains, so has helped with no toast!

@ricardo - awesome you have found and enjoy crossfit, I love it! So I had usually always gone low during workouts and needed to have my BS around that 170 mark too, but for some reason, my BS climbs now. I need to make sure I have some insulin on board usually through a small snack prior that has some carbs. It is a tricky business of trial and error until you get it perfect and then it changes! haha
