scheven

7 more days left of paleo.

the funny thing about paleo is that it hasn't changed how much I eat, but what I eat. For example, I eat all through the day - there is rarely a 2 hour gap between small snacks and I definitely feel it when I do but atleast I know that my snacking is healthy and nourishing to my body. Before I would eat like it was going out of style with things that left me bloated, heavy feeling, sleepy and just overall icky - now I know when my body feels full and when it definitely wants some noms.

which brings me to yesterday's foods:

1 egg, 2 sausage
2 apples
1 larabar
1/3 cup almonds
salad w/ chicken & beef (yummay)
1/3 grapes
tuna w/ mustard & paleo mayo
2 turkey dogs

my favorite:
1/3 lb lean beef burger w/ lettuce
1 egg
mustard
tomato
bacon.

^so full, so satisfied, best digestion of this diet (tmi? deal! this is momentous!)

now onto...

warm up-

cfwu - x2
&
front squat - 75lbs x3 (!)

^ I'm on day 15, I can honestly say that I love this. I thought of Pizza and couldn't imagine eating it like I used too and even eat very much of it. I'm excited for cheese and excited for gluten yummys, but Paleo has changed my mind about eating. Why would I put something in my body that doesn't nourish it? And WHY did I have to do this challenge to learn that? Who knows.

yesterday's workout:

5 minute AMRAP

115 lb deadlift - 3 times

22 lb overhead press - 14 times

6 reps ! and i felt GREAT afterwards and definitely can do more on deadlift...

maybe they're my thing :)

today's eats =

tea

cherry lara bar

apple

almonds

wierd dried fruit chips with apricots that turned into loogies when you kept them in your mouth for too long o_o.

9 ,10, 11, 12 - oops.

um.

i missed a few days,

i've been sore :< i wil post what happened anotha day.

i saw mike posner today ! i swear he looked at me, which... really means nothing :)

sunny day.

paleo day 7, 8. ow.

ah! I haven't posted in awhile.

well - monday was definitely a killer and a little wierd. Noelle (pictured below)

(cousin)

brought her boyfriend to Crossfit! But! He workout, he just sat there on his iPhone. It was weird and she was weird with him there. I feel strangely protective over our space at Crossfit, we all are supportive but when you bring someone else it's like there is a giant buffalo in the room.

BUT it was an AWESOME workout, I literally hit a wall - or more like... the ceiling.

for our warmup:

2 rounds of the CWU -

15 pullups, 15 pushups, 15 situps, 15 squats, 15 back extensions, 15 dips.

then we did 5-5-5-5-5 of shoulder presses (here is where the ceiling comes in.)

1. 32 lbs. - no sweat

2. added 5's - 42 lbs. - little harder

3. went over to the 45 lb bar - feeling it

4. added 5lbs total = 55 lbs. - CEILING.

it was the weirdest thing, I got to the same point every time I tried to push it over my head. I hit my wall, I failed - I could not get it past that point but that is the point. Pushing yourself until your body stops.

5. went over did 43 x 4 times. again, the damn ceiling.

now onto...

workout:

AMRAP (as many reps as possible) for 20 minutes, it was

5 pullups

10 wall ball squats

15 kettlebell swings (backdeath.)

i got 7 reps of this - cj and I am so proud, got 8 ! right down to the wire. he proceeded to lay down and twitch a little afterwards.

(side note: if you can guess why i had the cramps, you can guess why I have been eating like a moose. food:

up to 3 lara bars, 1 apple, 1 banana, a big salad, water up the ying-yang and almonds. needless to say, atleast I am on this challenge and feeling so ravenous.)

NOW... day 8:

yesterday -

meals:

1 banana

20 oz black berry tea

1 lara bar

10 almonds(?)

lettuce wrap -

avocado

turkey

bacon

mustard

pepperonchinis(sp?)

tomato

cucumber

spinach (ha! encased in lettuce.)

h20

1 more lara bar... for good measure.

1/2 kiwi lime larabar when i got into the car (dangit Cj!)

1/4 of cj's smoothie which looked and had the texture of vomit ( :-( ) but was tasty!

2 bananas

ice

blueberries

raspberries

almond butter?

warmup:

short run

5 minute jumprope

530 meter row

workout: RFT (reps for time)

15 squat thrusters

15 bar facing burpees (hopping over the bar after each burpee.)

time: 28:12 ( :< )

this one, left me gelatinous.

example: we get home, I lay down to check my email - and as I try to get up my body protests and I start shaking uncontrollably while all my muscles are sore and forcing me to lay the hell back down. I ended up rolling onto my back and grabbing at the couch for leverage and getting up and showering.

Cj say's: "Try and do a burpee."

I hear: "Gargle some tacks and mouthwash."

paleo day 6?!

heavy day + paleo 4

First and most importantly, it is my little brother Solomon Athanasius' 16th Birthday !

(^ he can't even believe it and neither can I. Hoopy Boofdoo Sool <3 )

On a more somber note, today also marks the 1 year anniversary of the death of my, would be 26 year old sister Tiffany Faith.

(She was my inspiration to go to college, to do well, to want better for myself - she is hugging me int he bottom, center - I miss her.

In her honor, I keep striving, keep living, keep passionately loving.)

Now onto Crossfit, yeah yeah !

yesterday - best day of food:
morning: apple, almonds, h20
lunchy: my wraps w/ avocado - 1 slice of turkey, and lettuce. + cucumber slices, a carrot, 1/8 of a red, green, orange pepper
then...MONICA BOUGHT ME FOOD.

(bad quality, delicious steroidal strawberries & pineapple to boot. + 4 of each :) )

the big kahuna -

(lettuce, spinach, cucumber, banana peppers, 1 hard boiled egg, 4 pieces of lean chicken, carrots, red peppers, sunflower seeds w/lemon juice over it all= so full.)

warmup:

leg to bar - 10 (I ripped open my hand :<, these are fun but hard. You jump up on the bar, arms extended and push your shoulders forward and feet back and swing and then try to touch your feet to the bar !)

raised arm pushups - 10 (you do a pushup but go all the way to the ground, when you get there you raise your hands a few inches and push back up.)

jumping squats - 10 (squat, get up to the top, clap hands, squat)

^ x3

workout: Jackie

Row - 1000M
50 thruster
30 pullups
time: 18:30

last night - WOAH - First of all... Cj's dad went fishing and got us 4 trout ! Woop woop! So safe to say, last night was so yommy. I mean, it could have used salt but lets be real, anything warm and slightly salty is delicious on Paleo. (I forgot to take a picture :/) but it was:
1 small trout, onion, garlic, lemon, dill - covered in foil and cooked for 30 minutes on 350 degrees. You could say you could try it once and be... hooked? (Har har.)

then one of our trainers, Katie ( i like her.) told us about these pancakes we can make that are paleo approved. Linds I already told you about these...
-1 egg, 1 banana, 1 scoop of almond butter.

(this is what Ceej had for breakfast this AM, I ate this - but not this... ya know. they taste like banana bread - it felt like i was cheating ! )

then sleepy time. I am feeling the effects and feel better - sleep, skin, face, digestion. I sleep better then I have in a long time and my body is perpetually sore but in the best way possible.

today:

picked up a 24 oz. lemon chamomile (no added sugar),
ate 1 banana and almond butter

went to quiz section,

ate - had the same salad again(YUM.) & h2o to boot.

time to go home now, I'm playing softball tonight and then hanging out with some of my siblings! hoorah! weekend.

paleo 3

different strokes for different folks, and i hated our trainer last night.
not to be mean, but FOR REAL if you are training me... please be an inspiration instead of barking out orders and doing the whole "tough" love thing. I'm not into it and you just came off as a bitty.

with that being said.. we did

HELEN
21 kettlebell swings
12 pull ups
400 meter run x3

time: 14:30

then a choice of a 1 mile run or a 1600 meter row,
i ran w/ noelle. we ran the whole time.

this is the third day of paleo and i feel different, not as completely dead as the first and second day.

food so far:

1/4 cup (probably more) of natural almonds
16 oz of hot water w/ a lemon slice

Anticipating my delicious apple.

paleomi day 2

(dinner... dry as a cats tongue!)

yesterdays workout was terrible. i failed miserably and haven't ever been happier about it.

burpees: if you have never done them. are hell. hell on earth, death and hell and death.

21-15-9

21 times, 15 times, 9 times:

65 pound overhead squats

burpees

i was the last to finish and was literally dripping sweat.

afterwards we went home, made lean turkey 1/99(!) with coconut milk, peppers, onion and apple. it satisfied and i slept.

eaten today:

1 egg

2 turkey

1 apple

1 banana

1 grapefruit.
