Day 1....

Today is the first day of the Paleo challenge.  It's my birthday weekend, plus the Super Bowl, so there maybe some cheating involved until Monday.  Also starting Monday, I am also eliminating alcohol from my diet for at least 45 days, but it does start monday!

Today was our benchmark WOD Helen:


3 rounds for time
21 Kettle-bell swings (35kg)
12 Pull ups (kipping pull ups with a green band)

Time: 11:35

So in 90 days, I hope to have a faster time and maybe be able to do a few kipping pull ups in there.

This last week was spent preparing for the diet.  Today we made a Costco run, where we picked up ground turkey, bacon, cauliflower, broccoli, chicken wings, artichoke hearts, almond milk, avocado oil, etc. I've already prepped turkey sausages for the next two week for breakfast.  Also made my first Paleo mayo and kale chips.


Today for breakfast I had a roasted sweet potato with sausage and fried egg.  Coffee with stevia and for dinner is a Carrot Coconut Soup and artichokes.  Tomorrow we are making some Jalapeno Lime chicken wings and also some chocolate/nut butter ice cream!!!!

90 day Paleo challenge! Say what!

It's true....I am doing a paleo challenge. I plan to try to be as strict as I can, but there may be some cheat days in there. For those of you who don't know, a Paleo diet basically means you cut out dairy, legumes, and grains.  Really it means trying to eat less processed food and eating cleaner. It's a way to understand what you are putting in your body.  For me it's a challange, I most likely will not go Paleo on a regular basis, but for these 90 days, I plan to do my best.  So no dairy (sad face), more meat products, fruit and veggies.  I will be trying to post on a daily basis as to what I am eating.  We are also doing a Helen WOD. This occurs next week and I will post my time.

Goals:

1.  Lose 10-15lbs
2.  Decrease body fat percentage
3.  Increase overall strength


Here are my staring stats: Ugh this is scary posting this....next week I'll include a picture, so hopefully there will be a difference in 90 days!!!

Body Weight: 29.3%
BMI: 25.4

Ok, there it is, all out there!!! Next week I will be cooking up a storm prepping for the next coming weeks!
