Driving home from work yesterday I was thinking about my little blog and realized it has not been receiving very much attention in the food department. Before my first post I had some serious internal debates. When I finally hit publish I had the expectation that I would write about food. So why haven’t I been? I can honestly say.. IT’S HARD! My photography skills are nill and sometimes well my food just isn’t that pretty. How some people take beautiful pictures of chili and such I will never know. I want to make more of a commitment to actually take pictures of my food. SO there…it’s out in the blog world. Whether anyone is looking or not, more recipes are coming.
SO, I will be taking a 30-day Paleo challenge very soon. I love food and well Paleo diets at first glance don’t get me all excited. I love oats and fruit and YOGURT! What am I going to do?!?! I know from my personal experiences “Can’t” diets do not work for me. I am going to try to focus on eating the things that I love with in the diet… eggs, peppers, and definitely a lot more meat than I am use to. I don’t like to label my eating so I was never a part-time vegetarian or even a 3/4 of the time vegetarian but I make a conscious effort to eat meat alternatives. I really want to see great results from all of my hard work in the box and Paleo will let this happen. It’s definitely going to be a change and I will need to retrain my brain. My self-doubt is high right now but I am going to try to stay positive. I CAN eat fish, fruit, almonds.. which is good.
As for my WOD last night…. that is another story. I didn’t make it to the 20″ box.. I saw it and once again scarred myself right out of it. I DID however put a 45# plate on my 12″ box… it’s progress at least.
WOD:
10 min. AMRAP
10 pull-ups (green band)
20 box jumps (baby box plus 45# plate)
RESULTS: 4 Rounds
