Alright now I'm back. I'm officially on another "real food challenge" even though I said I was bailing on Paleo a while back. Why am I doing this? Because I am not comfortable in my skin right now and I need to change that, even if it means being tight with my diet. I can't say "fuck this" and eat what I want because I gain weight easily.
So, I'm on day 2 of: NO sugar / NO alcohol / NO grains / NO dairy (maybe butter).
And I'm gona rock this and fit into my jeans again. Little treats add up. THISISWHYYOUREFAT.
ain't nothin free. There were some amazing gourmet cookies at work yesterday, of course. I dodged that bullet - not worth it. I can bare it for 5 weeks, I've done it before and it will be worth it once I look good in that AA dress again. It's happening. Oh yes. I refuse to let the winter blues get me fat again. Fuck this and fuck that.

Sleep was not the best, mainly because I went to bed too late and woke up too early.
Breakfast:
2 eggs / 2 bacon
At work:
handful mixed nuts
Lunch:
chicken drumstick
spinach
a large tomato
olive oil
Snack:
apple + mixed nuts
New discovery! Jamaican yams. Good shit. Saw them at the G-store and figured I'd give them a whirl. I like experimenting with new produce. There is no "miss" if you just look up a goddamn recipe. OR assume that Jamaican yams are related to "regular" yams and treat them the same. No brainer. Tasted like squash kinda. Sweet ish, starchy. Noms. I chopped them, coated them with ghee and baked them for breakfast on Saturday. Had them with eggs, so good! I bought a spaghetti squash and I plan on having spaghetti squash + sauce. Just like real spaghetti but without the big belly.
Crossfit happened. Why do I feel like I'm out of shape? My pullups/L-sits are shit. It's my fault, I don't practice my pullups. New goal. Also pushups - for shame.
Dinner:
Rowe farms chicken sausage
red pepper / mushrooms BBQ'd
2 dates, few almonds
Went to bed kinda early.

2013 Paleo Life day 2
Sleep was meh. Not terrible not great.
Breakfast:
leftover meat stif fry/cauli
Made a chicken salad for lunch with the leftover roast chicken:
chicken, lime juice, olive oil, s/p, orange pepper and cashews. Will have that with spinach and tomato. What what!
Tonight I aim to hit CF round 3. And tomorrow workout 4! Let's GO! Then I can sleep in saturday and maybe hit the spa. Watch out.
Did I mention Jamie is on board with this new year's "resolution"? Yep, he's on the paleo bandwagon.
Note to self, make these things:
Banana Bread French Toast (As a TREAT)
Cashew sour cream, for future taco salads.
Sausage and Egg Sandwich - For this weekend's breakfast
Lunch:
Chicken Salad + 1/2 avocado
K I had the last three punkin protein balls. 2 before lunch, 1 after.
My lunch wasn't filling enough. Needed more veg to fill up on.
3pm:
cashew lara bar like my fren MA.
spoonful of cashew butter. I'm a cashew face today, easy there big fella.
Tonight I reckon we'll have sausages and sweet potato in the oven.
I plan on hitting up crossfit again, I am feeling a bit addicted. This is what healthy eating and an expensive gym membership does to a person. Not a bad thing though.
Pre workout:
three spoons of chicken salad. I didn't eat enough today and was lightheaded doing my squats. Had to bail on my last set because I felt I couldn't do it.
Crossfit WOD:
A. Shoulder Press 4×5@80%, 1×5+@80%, rest 2.5mins - 55#
B. Back Squat 4×3@85-90%, rest 2.5mins - 120#
C1. GHD Hip Extension 4×8 [2014], rest 60sec - Love doing these.. feels so good.
C2. Single Arm bent-over supported DB row, 4×6-8 [2011] , rest 60s
Good workout, there was barely anyone there. Love it. and MA was there! yes!
Dinner:
Macedonian sausage + sweet potato + spinach + home made mayo YUMMMMM
I succeeded day 2 of no sugar.
OH, my Adidas Powerlift shoes arrived! Can't wait to do squats with these bad boys.

Paleo Challenge ROUND THREE
Today is the beginning of health kick/new life/paleo living/crossfitting/no drinking for FIVE WEEKS FUCK YOU.
I'm NOT gonna be making paleo cookies/muffins/breads this round. I realize I just made some pumpkin cookies yesterday but that's it. No more subbing healthy paleo snacks for cookies n muffins n shit. I'm eating straight up real food and getting strong, losing my fat stomach and reducing the circumference of my thunder thighs. I like juicy thighs and ass but come on. There is a limit here people.
Today I feel like a fatass. I'm bloated, perioding and off my routine. Pootine. I have a ritual in the morning and it's off track from my holidays. So I feel extra bloated right now. Sigh. I also feel like people at work are looking at me thinking I came back looking like a big heffer. I've gained like 5 lbs. I know I sholdn't look at the scale but I did. And I sad.
Sleep was ok. I took some melatonin last night. Meh.
Breakfast:
1.5 eggs omelette w/spinach and mushroom
3 farmers bacon
coffee
At work I'm drinking a shitty coffee and forcing myself to drink this boring glass of water. I just don't feel like drinking water in the morning.
Ok work time. Crossfit later if all goes well.
Pre lunch:
2 pumpkin protein cookies. They're small.
Lunch:
2 eggs/bacon wrapped things
kale
cauliflower steamed
After:
1 pumpkin cookie. the last one.
Pre-workout:
2 pumpkin cookies- they're proteiny!
Crossfit:
A. Front Squat 3@85#, 2@105#, 1@110#, 3×3-4 @ 95-100#
B. Group Metcon amrap=as many rounds as possible:
5min amrap: 200m row, 40 double unders (or a number you can complete in 30sec)
2min rest
5min amrap: 10 KB swings to chin level (16kg), 10 DB push press @ 20lb each
2min rest
5min amrap: 2 DB man makers - 15# (I didbn't realize it was only 2.. next time 20#), 8 box jumps

It was a good day, no sugar and I'm good.
Wait, one more pumpkin thing. Eep.
