New Day
Sleep: 8 hours
food: cookies, doughnuts, velveeta shells and cheese, cookies, doughnuts, fruit snacks, saved old valentines chocolate, gold star chili burrito,chocolate brownie ice cream and frozen saved mini cupcakes from st. patrick's day.
Gym: hell yeah. if i put my body through this food torture today, i was going to HAVE to suck it up; 20 minutes amrap: 5 - 75# clean and jerk, 10 kipping pullups, 15 glute ham situps. accomplished 6 rounds + 5 C & J + 4 pullups.
Reflection: i made my food count today. i also made my food almost throw up, especially after working out. I'm feeling a feeling I havn't felt in 45 days, which is over-eaten bloated tummy feeling. Since paleo challenge is over, i will continue to log my sleep, type of meals i ate, either paleo or non-paleo, and my workouts. One post will be a collection of weekly accomplishments. My goal is to workout 5-6 times/week.

tonight!
Sleep: today 7 hrs
Food: today and yesterday same old things!
Gym: yesterday - no time with 3 hours of classes.
today - 39" box jump! whoot whoot! "Grace" is 30 power clean and jerk - 70lb - 7:28 time.
Reflection: I suck. Ill let it be known that I ate m&ms last night with some walnuts. I was just thinking its only a day! What gives! Now I'm upset. Shaun gave me a talking to and asked me if I would just give up the last 100 ft in a marathon - perhaps I would. I did the same thing the other day when I was about to row my PR, but then hit a wall and got tired :( I tried before class, and just have up with 150m to go, knowing it would have been my best time ever. I really need to start digging deep and stop giving in.
Moving on, little or big, God answeres prayers. I was at kroger and jonesing for some ice cream, uh since it's been almost 2 months since my last bight. BEN AND JERRY'S AND STARBUCKS ICE CREAM WERE ON CLEARANCE FOR a DOLLAR. holy shit. my shopping dreams come true, for real.

T- 2 days!!!
Sleep: 6 or so
Food: bacon. eggs. lots of coffee. walnuts. raisins. chocolate. carrots. tomato. chicken. cantaloupe. apple. leftovers - spaghetti squash w/ pesto sauce. chicken this time (way better than turkey! yuck!) handful of brussel sprouts, some grape tomatoes and 1/3 orange.
Gym: 4x500m row 1:56, 2:13, 2:16, 2:08
Reflection: okay okay. the times are whacked up. My goal was to go in and get a PR and i met my goal, whether that was the goal of the actual WOD or not. My old PR was 2:01. excited to get it down 5 more seconds. However, I become completely wiped out, thus, the horrible times. A real 4x row, I guess i should have averaged 2:01 or so if I monitored my stroke. I thank all those who allowed me to break the cardinal rule for trainers, which is to not participate in classes when i am the trainer. However there was an open spot, and i really couldn't have done it alone, which is what I would've had to do. Thanks guys.

T-3.5 days!
Sleep: 8
food: paleo pancakes, smoky links, eggs, walnuts, raisins, roast beef, tomatoes, acorn squash, pistachios, awesome spaghetti squash dinner w/ walnut pesto sauce! Recipe Below!!!
gym: no
Reflection: yesterday I went shopping with my mom, paleo snacks in arm en route: apple, walnuts, raisins, chocolate, prunes (i apologize to myself that I have no readily available veggies). I planned for breakfast at my parents with pancakes mix pre-made. This morning I had to hear it from my dad in various outbursts, "Mmmm...this [insert something I can't eat for another 4 days] is good." Ah. all in good fun.
Spaghetti Squash with Spinach Walnut Pesto (gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo)
1 cup of "meat" from spaghetti squash (to bake, cut in half, scrape out seeds and place on cookie sheet at 375 for 35 minutes rind side up and scrape out meat after squash has cooled)
1 loosely packed cup of spinach
about 10 basil leaves
1/4 cup walnuts
2 small, or one large clove of garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
Mix the spinach, basil, walnuts and garlic in a mini food processor until blended and add olive oil until a pesto forms (you may need more of less olive oil). In a skillet over medium heat, add the spaghetti squash and the pesto and cook for five minutes or so until the flavors are incorporated.
I also made turkey meatballs, but they didn't go well with the squash. I just mixed the turkey burger, 1/2 onion, eyeballed oregano, and 1 egg. I left out the almond meal in place of bread crumbs because i didn't feel they were necessary. Then I made 4 little balls and put them on 375 for 15 minutes.

Day 40
Sleep: 7 hours
Food: pancakes w/ banana, eggs, bacon, coffee, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, chicken, orange, walnuts, raisins, chocolate, plums, chili
Gym: so disappointed yesterday when i couldn't get a heavier 1 rep max for overhead squat, so before the class, i attempted 95lbs and achieved it easily, then tried for 100. I threw it before even getting it above my head, but then tried it again and WHOOP WHOOP! NEW PR!
Reflection: first of all, i'm oober excited about my second new pr with overhead sqauat. i'm 15lbs away from my bodyweight and then ihave to squat it 15 times in a row in order to be a cool guy. Second of all, i made pancakes differently this morning when shaun, naturally, drank the rest of the almond milk by mouth from the container. What other delicious fluid substance do I have laying around in the morning? COFFEE, of couse! i just added it to my "batter" and there we go - delicious banana pancakes.

T- 6 days
Sleep: 7 hours
Food: eggs. Bacon. Pancakes. Blueberries. Pork. Asparagus. Pancake. Walnut. Raisin. Chocolate.
Gym: rest day - YEAH RIGHT. i couldn't resist today's strength day.
Strength Day: overhead squat 3 - 3 - 3 - 1 -1 = 65 - 75 - 85 - 90 - 100 (3 strikes your out!) Set an overhead squat PR - 90lbs. Tried for 100 and just couldn't get it up.
10 minute AMRAP: 5 hang snatch, 10 squat jumps = 7 rounds plus 3 hang snatch
Reflection: I've been feeling good; maybe it's the claratin kicking in, but whatever it is, i'm liking it. I can't wait to chomp on my first piece of pizza to just turn over 30 minutes later and die with heartburn and stomach upset right there in the cushy seat of La Rosas. That should make me want this paleo-thing more. Knowing that obviously that shit shouldn't be in my body to begin with.

Day 34
SLEEP: 6 (that's stupid. it's the weekend)
FOOD: my favorite breakfast in the world. Blueberry paleo pancakes toppled with honey. 1 egg/1 sausage, 1 egg/1 sausage. coffee, duh. I pretty much missed lunch. . . I came back for dinner and had some chocolate, wine, steamed acorn squash, flank steak w/ chopped pickles and spinach (really tasty!) some walnuts, cranberries, cacao nibs, and raisins for dessert.
GYM: a few days ago I planned to do a benchmark WOD today. I'm still incredibly sore from the 5 workouts from last week and yesterday's disappointment. I must have another rest day.
REFLECTION: that's all for today. 1.5 weeks of strict paleo left!
Day 34: you wouldn't, shouldn't and sometimes couldn't do CrossFit alone :)
Sleep: 8hours or so
Food: bacon. eggs. sausage. paleo pancakes w/ banana and blueberries. coffee. spinach salad w/ chicken and tomato. brussel sprouts. carrots. a couple blueberries. Chipotle dinner! steak. pico de gallo! red pepper, green pepper, red onion, lettuce. prunes and wine.
Gym: Team WOD - laura, scott, rob, me - time = 43 minutes
BASE Station = 15 35#KB swings, 15 thrusters 65-50#s, 15 20inch box jumps
50 squats
base station
50 pullups
base station
25 burpees
base station
tire flip
Reflecion:
ugh. it was one of those days. it was just one of those days that I was not mentally and physically ready for this kind of a morning WOD and I knew since breakfast this was supposed to be a rest day. Regardless of my senses of doubt, I participated. Indeed I wasn't proud of my performance. I began with 65# thrusters (BECAUSE THAT IS NORMAL FOR ME), I had to go down 5 pounds the next round, and fighting back the tears, I had to go down another 10 in the middle of round 2. I could tell, my weight wasn't on my heels, my core was just not tight enough. I WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE, wiggling front and back and left and right. If it werent for my team, I just wouldn't have made it. I was disappointed and I hope I get out of this ridiculous rut soon.

Day 33
SLEEP: 8 hours
FOOD: bacon. eggs. spinach salad. 1/2 tomato. chicken. carrots. walnuts. raisins. 85% chocolate. PALEO CHILI! yum! recipe below. no pic, sorry.
GYM: crossfit total: backsquat, shoulder press - 60lb, deadlift - 160lb.
Reflection: So I was bummed out. All this paleo work and my shoulder press is weak, weaker than my old max rep. I can't remember my backsquat, but I know I wanted more. I was happy with the deadlift, as my old PR was 150. The only thing I can think of is my job at the preschool makes me sick on a regular basis so I skip many workouts, and around my sickness schedule I only get in the gym 2-3 times/week anyways. SHOW UP TO GO UP. so i'm continuing 3 days on 1 day off and I hope to see results when I benchmark next month. i'm loading up on Zinc to keep my immune system on guard so I can keep moving!
Chili Recipe -
1lb. Innis Angus ground beef (sorry, not found in stores - but on my grandparent's farm)
1 onion chopped up
1 red pepper diced up
1 can diced tomatoes in paste
1 jalepeno pepper (I would advice you to cut up 1/4 of it and then add to taste. I made it WAY too strong and started to pick them out after putting them in)
1 clove garlic pressed
chili powder
ground cumin
I used a stovetop pot to brown the beef, added onion, pepper, jalepenio pepper, tomatoes, cumin, and chili powder and mixed it all up. I just eyeballed and tasted as I went with the cumin and chili powder. I wanted it to be bold and not flat. I probably used 3 Tablespoons of chili powder and 1 TB of cumin. After I found a flavor I liked, I left it on the stovetop for 2 hours and it tasted quite perfect in the end. (except for the spicy jalepenos - i'm just not used to that)

day: two. weeks away
Sleep: decent the last few days, 6-8.
Food. Same things. Eggs Bacon. Nuts. Grapefruit. Chicken. Raisins. DINNER! great meal! pork george formaned with garlic powder and tarragon, wrapped in lettuce and packed with tomatoes. SO GOOD! pic as shown!
Gym:
Monday: 21 benchpress.30 situps.21 deadlift.!5-30-15.9-30-9 @ 55/95#
8:20
Tuesday: 5 rounds.65# hang power snatch 12 times.30 walking lunged.20:cc
Reflection:
I was proud of Tuesday because a couple months ago I did this in 12 minutes with a 30# bar. I felt stronger able to snatch properly with prescribed weight. With the snatch I dropped it each time I completed the movement. To get my time down, I need to reset back at my waist without dropping the bar. Paleo has definitely added an extra sense of. Energy to the workout. I seem to just feel ready.
Saturday, March 6, 2010
SLEEP: eh 6 or 7 hours?
Food: 1 egg, paleo pancakes with cinnamon and allspice, coffee that I didn't get to drink because i left home without my damn mug. almonds and raisins. grapefruit. dried berry mix. Golden Corral: romaine lettuce, hard boiled egg pieces, ham, bacon, steak, green beans, cantaloupe, honey dew, orange,roasted chicken.
Gym: how about pool? 2 laps (approx. 20 meters each), 21 pushups, 2 laps, 21 squats, 2 laps, 15 pushups, 2 laps, 15 squats, 2 laps 9 pushups, 2 laps, 9 squats. I even finished my squats in the dark because hotel employees turned the lights of at exactly 10 pm. Real crossfitters finish till the end no matter what. It only took about 7-8 minutes to complete.
Reflection: damn I hate pulley. Mac and cheese. volcano brownies. garlic bread. Those were only a few delicious items that graced our dinner table on Adam's plate. I have to say that Golden Corral is AWESOME on paleo because you can just eat and eat and there are quite a few options. You still ave to be careful - nearly all veggies were buttered and salty!
The arnold classic is quite the scene. We watched some great powerlifters - cleans and jerks were so sharp. Would love to be as clean as they are in their techniques. I'm excited to see the crossFit events tomorrow! and will post lots of pics on facebook!

Day 23
SLEEP: 6.5 maybe
Food: bacon, eggs, brussel sprouts, chicken, romaine, basalmic vinegar, walnuts and golden raisins, a couple baby carrots, 3 strawberries, barely handful blueberries, chocolate, tuna steak, brussel sprouts, acorn squash.
GYM: I wish I made time. It looked like a good one!
Reflection: I feel like a lazy sack of poo. I just can't justify getting off work at 3:3o and being at the gym at 4 to work out, then teach for three hours. Maybe that's exactly what I needed, though! Tomorrow i'm def. going to make the time!! Regardless, I came home around 9 and made Tuna Steak and it was amazing - kind of tasted like chicken, actually. I just added 1 clove of garlic to the top and bottom of two steaks and sprinkled tarragon on both sides. If you havn't had it, DO IT.
also. I premade a small batch of pancakes for the morning! super stoked!

Day 22
SLEEP: 4.5 hours (oops)
FOOD: bacon, eggs, coffee, chicken, romaine lettuce, 1/2 apple, 7 baby carrots, two handfuls of walnuts and raisins, turkey meatloaf (which I made last night and were today's leftovers), chocolate, raisins, and Rob's Hot Chili!!
GYM: not really. but I did clean 95# which is a PR!! the last time I tried it, I hurt myself.
Reflection: as much as I wanted to post yesterday, I just didn't make time. It was much of the same, but I made dessert. The best thing about paleo dessert is that it's gratifying, and you don't have any regrets, plus you can eat as much as you want!! I made a type of apple crisp. Now, obviously the brown sugar loaded with butter wasn't in the ingredients. But considering the food i've been eating lately, this dessert was devine.
Apple Crisp for 1-2 people
1 apple cut into 24ths (small pieces)
about a cup of almond meal?
about a sprinkle of vanilla extract (real not fake!!!)
about a sprinkle of cinnamon
about a sprinkle of allspice.
a small spoon of coconut oil
a shot of Almond milk.
First, I cut the apple and put it into a really small baking dish. Then in a seperate bowl I eyeballed the almond meal, combined the spices and extract. The recipe I used called for five apples - just way too much for a little desert for me. So I just had to use a good eye. Then I heated up the coconut oil in a shot glass and poured it over the almond meal mix. I stirred it. Then, I toppled the apples with the mix and put it in the over for 50 minutes or so on 350 degrees. when it was steaming hot I added a shot of almond milk (kind of like the ice cream) and that made it extra tasty.
