I'm already not very good at eating what I'm supposed to! I found myself obsessing a bit too much until I got called out, thankfully :-) So I'm gonna step back and continue to strive for more veggies and more protein... but this is a battle of the mind for me! I totally forgot that I have a hard time with eating because it's been so long since I've had this kind of struggle. But I definitely know what I need to work on and I'll keep getting better, physically and mentally! My goals are to eat enough calories every day, add more protein, add more veggies, and NOT obsess... obsessions take out all the fun for me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453725966977274971.post-42525679423538776962010-02-05T15:37:43.459-05:002010-02-05T15:37:43.459-05:00All you guys have been kickin' ass.

And I'm lovin' all the comments on the blog.<br /><br />Chad - You might want to think about taking in some more carbs over the weekend, just add in some fruits.<br /><br />Nice food for thought today Paul. The potato may cause a slightly higher rise in insulin levels, but two things benefit the potato. 1. Nutrient content. With the peel, you get about 7.5g of protein, and high levels of Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Potassium, and Manganese 2. Much lower levels of fructose (~1g/potato to ~16g/soda) which contributes more to the storage of fat because it tops of your liver glycogen stores faster.<br /><br />Yesterday<br />Training - Snatch 115x1x3,95x1x3; C&J 175x1(missed, so tried again and power cleaned it) 145x1x3<br />Food - 2 eggs with left over bison/veggie stir-fry, and some macadamias. Bowl of beef stew. Sardines, banana, and some dark chocolate. Sunbutter, glass o wine, shrimp curry w/ broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, celery.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07612352478135994190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453725966977274971.post-57270733075298132632010-02-05T12:58:10.735-05:002010-02-05T12:58:10.735-05:00I've been lurking on the crossfit endurance si...I've been lurking on the crossfit endurance site lately and saw this.

Hard, but manageable. <br /><br />Some questions - what are thoughts on bananas? Also - Chace, where in the hell do you get Tuna Jerky? Sounds odd - is it good?

Just what I needed to up the ante on my diet and workouts.<br /><br />@Chad - great job with your diet and PRs this week!<br /><br />@Everyone - love reading your posts about your successes (and occasional lapses) with the Paleo diet.<br /><br />I'm off to fix myself a big ole Paleo salad: spinach, turkey, eggs, tomatoes, carrots, balsamic vinegar/olive oil dressing.Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00987357728105757840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453725966977274971.post-78931791637914885482010-02-05T09:30:48.847-05:002010-02-05T09:30:48.847-05:00Nate, Chace, Paul, Jonathan - It's been a grea...Nate, Chace, Paul, Jonathan - It's been a great week. Loved the tests you all put up for us. We appreciate all you guys do to help us improve. CF is my sport now!<br /><br />I pr'd on TOTAL, Helen, the 5k and then met my old pr on Cindy. Long way to go to ever catch all you firebreathers but I'm working on it. Can't wait to do all of them again in 6 weeks. I've been 100% paleo for a week now. Feel good and performing good so it works. Down 5lbs since starting the challenge! Woot! See yall on Monday. I may even go for a run tomorrow. Sick man, sick.<br /><br />@Chris - Sounds like you are doing your best on eating good while out on the road. Keep it up and get in here soon! I'd love to hit the WODs with you.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535495242256239422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453725966977274971.post-82076266071129799362010-02-05T09:14:17.260-05:002010-02-05T09:14:17.260-05:00Never mind - skimmed the blog and didn't reall...Never mind - skimmed the blog and didn't really "read" it.

As a hypoglycemic I ...Yeah, that's right, Paul. As a hypoglycemic I know this by experience; let me tell you that potato in any form has always given me a much nastier insulin response than chocolate. Thank God I've never been in love with either. My temptation has always been BREAD... The one food above all else! Luckily, around here it is hard to find real good bread (maybe this isn't true if you live with a baker), so I eat it sparingly.<br /><br />Guys, wanted to say that even though I haven't been able to come in to workout, I am following the blog and it is very exciting to perceive everyone's engaged on the challenge. Good job, you guys! All of you! I am also doing a bit like Vilas; squeazing a little fish here and there; no fruit except for apple, no roots either and plenty of greens. I've had some coffe with very little milk due to my nasty cold. Three more points:<br /><br />Ate a spoon of rotini and it felt as if I ate an elephant, so don't be jealous of Chace's pizza!<br /><br />Vilas, huge aounts of carrots will turn you into a oompa-loompa!<br /><br />Miss you guys!GA:o)noreply@blogger.com
