Day 10 - Did it again

So I now have been to my third movie minus popcorn, twizzlers, and a soda.  Proud of myself.  I feel pretty good but have come up against a moral dilemma - I am not eating this stuff but I am giving it to my wife and kids.  Example - we have a small carnival in town, daughter is sick so I go with Jr and bring home 13 zeppoli's.  Wouldn't touch them but brought them for everyone else?  Am I poisoning the family with bad food and sugar?  I guess the real question is "How do I get them all to eat healthy?"

Turkey bacon and 4 egg white

Shake

Dinner
Flounder with white wine, garlic, artichokes, and olives with roasted broccoli in oo, garlic, and Parmesan cheese.

Day 7 - Shit its hot

Woke up today and the air was full of humidity.  Killer humidity.  I am pretty sore as well.  Quads and shoulders took a beating from Monday and Tuesday's WODS.  But my silver lining was that I bought some coconut fat and want to start cooking with it.  Did up some eggs and man that oil gets hot.  Burned my eggs, lol.  Otherwise came out great.  Gotta try different things to cook it in.  Tomorrow I plan on making some paleo coconut ice cream with dark chocolate.   Gotta see how that goes.

Day 6 - Recovery

When I wake up in the morning after a night of drinking I always wonder what it will do to me.  Today is no different and suffice it to say the small ground I had grabbed, 2 lbs, was lost again.  I have a dull pain in my head and I am tired.  Gotta slow down on the drink, I think it will make a difference.

Day 5 - The 4th of July

Today is a day that I am not sure what to do about.  Should I let it go and have a good time or stay on course.  I did the morning WOD Morrison and that made up my mind for me.  Why the hell would I punish myself like that to blow it on some crappy food and beer.  I made some adjustments and instead of beer did vodka and crystal light lemonade (very good I might add).

Morrison was something like 51 minutes of hell.  Pure hell.

Breakfast
Protein Shake
Lunch
Grilled chicken and salad
Dinner
Cured meats, olives, cole slaw, and kielbasa

Day 4 Happy Anniversary!!

So today was my anniversary.  It rained and ruined our beach plans so there wasn't much to do.  Kids were restless so I decided to take them to a movie.  They couldn't agree on a movie so my wife took one and I took the other and separate movies were we.  But instead of my usual large popcorn, large soda, and twizzlers (i am a freak for twizzlers) I brought a pack of gun, a protein bar, and a bottle of water.  Pretty proud of myself.

Breakfast
Chicken sausage and 3 egg whites
Lunch
Grilled chicken, red, orange, and red peppers.  1 banana
Snack
Protein bar
Dinner
Grilled chicken in a red tomato sauce, squash and zucchini sauté
Dessert (i did have dessert)
Rita's fudge brownie cream ice

Without adding it all up I am pretty sure I am under my 150 carbs per day paleo.  The ice was 47 carbs (ouch) but even so I think I am under easy.

One day at a time - Day 3

I felt pretty good about my eating yesterday.  It was kind of a crazy day and I was all over the place, getting my wife and kids to the beach, flying my new plane, getting a anniversary present, picking the wife and kids up from the beach, and going out to dinner.  Going out to dinner was the real worry.  I wanted to try and eat healthy and not to much and I think I got that right.  I did have 3 generous glasses of red wine but they were excellent and it wasn't beer!

Breakfast
2 eggs and bacon
Snack

Grilled flank steak

WOD
Car push 900 yards - 6 rounds burpee, rest, push 3 team members
18:19 151 team burpees I did 54

The heat is on 6/30/11

A week ago I worked out in NYC Gotham.  It was brutal - I had little sleep and I drank about 10 beers the night before.  Needless to say I puked after the WOD.  Not just a little bad burp in the mouth, I emptied the contents of my stomach.  It hurt and tasted terrible.  I was also embarrassed that after doing crossfit for 8 months I yaked - in front of co-workers (still get the douche chills).  I haven't forgotten about it yet and it is a thorn in my side but has got me thinking a lot about what I am doing and where I need to go.

There is a lot that goes into my daily makeup.  I need to eat the right foods, stay hydrated, and get to the box and bust my butt.  As simple as that is to type is as hard as it feels to do.  I have cracked open my paleo book again and started reading.  Tony Robbins is up next.  I have a need to get my body fat down to 15% by end of the summer.  That is the goal.  Lose 12% body fat.  I have 62 days to do that.  Its a challenge but I need a little challenge right now.

And so it goes:
