I didn't get much more sleep last (1/27/10) night because of my lovely Beagle wanting to pace the floor :-/, figures! The day wasn't too bad though, I think my mood is improving a bit. I wasn't as tired this afternoon and I drank more water, which made me get up and move more throughout the day :-) . I tried something new for lunch today that was surprisingly SO good...tuna in a bag (bumblebee, in water) and put a half of avocado in the bag, mix it up and POOF a scrumptious lunch! I also had grapes :-). I also wasn't as hungry through the day, (hence the mood improvement maybe :-)). I think I have to up my veggies instead of upping my fruits, but I have to figure out what I like and how to do that, I like more fruits than veggies I think (of course, I'm drawn to sugar naturally :-/ ).
I went to Crossfit hungry (not on purpose) but did surprisingly well. I didn't get any PR's but let me let you what I DID get :-)! I got my press's up easier, 3 in a row, I ALMOST got a PR but couldn't get that extra 5 lbs up for a 3rd, I tried twice and got 55 lbs up twice and STILL could NOT get the 3rd one Grrrrr! So I had to go back down 5 lbs for the 4th and 5th set :-( But I still got 55 lbs up 4 times just not in a row so I couldn't count it, BUMMER! (*note; when I started I couldn't even lift the bar above my head).
After class I thought that I'd try an assisted (gray band) pull up, so with AP's help I got set up and did a few, HA no problem! Let's try the 'swing thing', AP showed me a little and I have some work to do one that but I think it's because the gray band is so thick it's kinda hard to swing (fun! but hard), I'm thinking that I'll try the green band Friday for a few. I see pull ups in my future :-) ! AWESOME :-)! So I think I had a good night last night,
hee hee hee!
Dinner was a boneless pork chop, asparagus and sweet potatoes (sing with me, Hallelujah!!!)! Hot tea for dessert. Nothing special (except for my sweet potato ).
My day in a nutshell. I hope you had a good day!
Awesome job Kerry. Glad you are feeling better. It just gets easier from here. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you sticking to this and pushing so hard. Looks like you are making great progress on your lifts.
ReplyDeleteThe avocado and tuna sounds like a great idea.
There was a post about the paleo diet on the SF LaLane site that said when you start out on the paleo diet it is better to go heavier on the veggies and lighter on the fruit. I think the idea was that it would speed up the process of your body transitioning from burning sugar for fuel. I’ll see if I can find the info and forward it to you later.
nice job Kerry!! I on the other hand have been struggling. two days in a row i haven't been able to finish my lunch b/c the thought of it (chicken on wednesday and steak yesterday) made me want to vomit. i'm actually surprised i didn't as my stomach hasn't been right all week. i'm hoping its gets better. Tim and I are going to spend this weekend cooking up different recipes, chili, meatballs, etc. broccoli at dinner without butter?! GROSS!! So I have been also eating more fruits than veggies so I know I have to work on that. Its only been a week, right, it'll get easier?? :-/
