Homemade burgers (3x 1/4 lbs patties with chopped onions and worstershire sauce)
Jicama salad

After doing some research finding that jicama is not so paleo. Starchy tuber family and legume. Oh well, while taking a picture of the recipe at WF saw that they add sugar in the recipe anyways. Looks like I'm rolling with the cabbage crunch for now.

Day8

6am
Venti Americano HWC

1230pm
Whole Foods Run
Tuna/salmon sashimi
cabbage almond crunch or something like that

Too full to workout, so just messed around with some HSPUs

Too busy/hungry for pics.

Day7

Today was a blur so don't have the times of my meals.

5 Eggs and spinach

3 Chicken legs and some green beans

12am 2 chicken legs

Really wanted to cheat today. Cravings kicking in but used some OJ which I don't really consider paleo to calm the cravings as we are out of fruit.

Mandie finally ate the 1/2 butter cake!

Day6

830-1030
Black coffee through birthing class :)

1230pm
Chipotle salad
(really= Romaine lettuce with barbacoa/carnitas)

430pm
Left over Tilapia fillet

10pm
Salmon 6oz
Sole Fillet 6oz
Sauteed collard greens

Spent about 8 hours clearing off my "desktop" to like 5 icons and uploaded somewhere around 15GBs of pics and video to our Flickr site. THe tour down memory lane was fun. Hard to believe my snatches were that horrific.

12am
Bowl of fruit (mixed b-berrie, r-berries, s-berries) becasue I really wanted Butter cake, donuts, and anything else that I shouldn't have. I might have borken if I didn't just yell at one of my sponsors for breaking already!

Also, I know everyone is sick of seeing my food. Don't care. It Keeps me amused!

Day5

930am
Black coffee (Thanks Ben!)

In a seminar from 930am-12pm

1pm
After sitting in traffic needed some food and hit up Chicago Food Corp. I love how the Korean ladies think I'm f'in nuts when I ask for no rice and more kimchi. Today one of the ladies actually asked, "Why no rice?" My answer "Diet." Lame. After 30 days, I'm definitely adding back in white rice.

8pm Snatched
Good thing: 90kgs has never felt that good.
Bad thing: missed 100kg 5-6x
I'm gonna peg this one on either lack of sleep (4 hours last night) or the loss of weight (down a whole 5 since I sntached 97kgs

930pm
20oz steak
Sauteed kale
10pm
Apple

It's kind of funny that I'm really realizing I like bitter greens. I'm trying to broaden my horizons on trying new things that I haven't had but tonight just was way too hungry.

Day4

Been in a business seminar in Itasca all day with Ben. Outstanding speaker (Thomas Plummer)! Actually swears (a lot) but still pretty professional. Plummer is a specialist in the business of fitness. He has a good impact in popular respected gyms, Todd Durkin's Fit Quest 10, Mike Boyle's S&C, Cosgrove's Results Fitness. It's scary that he is training and teaching globo/big box gyms to become more like functional training facilities ie CrossFits. I'm not sure if it's possible but it is interesting as he does well in forecasting the future of the industry. Who knows what lies in the future.

Couldn't pull my weight in the pull-ups, DLs, and Wallballs. Funniest moment was when I handed the double-unders over at 3 complete, with 4 missed attempts! Ha ha! I did much better after I changed shoes.

Short Fun

Joined in on Alex’s WOD
5 minute AMRAP of:
1 Snatch @155#
3 HSPUs
6 Pistols

I guess this one was about made for me since it plays to my strengths even the time domain.

8 Rounds even. With 15 seconds left failed my last snatch.

I also win for the fastest first round 19sec! Ha ha ha.

"Griff"

Talked Karen off the treadmill and got talked into doing “Griff”
For time:
Run 800 meters
Run 400 meters backwards
Run 800 meters
Run 400 meters backwards

We also talked Bryce, Kelly, and Snugs (MikeS) into doing it. Unfortunately that leaves me as the slowest runner. Boooo! Always good to do a hero wod though. 3x this week.

14:01 :(

"Moore"

“Moore”

Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
15 ft Rope Climb, 1 ascent
Run 400 meters
Max rep Handstand push-up

Didn’t want to “game it.
19,10,7,7,7

First time this year running in my Chucks. They felt really heavy.

"Hammer"

In honor of events did “Hammer”

Five rounds, each for time, of:
135 pound Power clean, 5 reps
135 pound Front squat, 10 reps
135 pound Jerk, 5 reps
20 Pull-ups
Rest 90 seconds

Joined Randy for this one and got pummeled.
212.4
303.1
345.4
439.1
417.7

Should have warmed up more. Need to re-learn how to receive the bar on jerks again. For some reason in regular kipping pull ups I have a slight bend in my arm at the bottom (probably protecting my shoulder) causing a forced negative rep in the bottom of every pull up. Last round did 20 singles. OUCH!
