Saturday’s intake was all Paleo. 11/21/09 IntakeCalories 1885Fat 101.5 gramsCarbs 107.5 gramsProtein 129 gramsFiber 26 gramsCholesterol 671mg My legs were feeling a bit better this morning but certainly not recovered. I decided to go out for another mountain bike ride despite the fact that it was my rest day. I figured an easy pedal would help work some of the soreness out of my legs. Unfortunately I was wrong, my legs were so worked that I didn’t really have the strength to even go for an easy pedal. I rode for about 45 minutes but that was it. Going to rest up and make sure I get a big dinner so that my legs are hopefully good to go tomorrow morning. – Jade

Nutrition yesterday was okay. Couldn’t really track it though unfortunately. I ate well throughout the day and then went to a big thanksgiving potluck party. Ate Paleo throughout the dinner, had some starch via red potatoes, I did have a couple slices of pie for dessert so that killed me for the day. Back on the wagon tomorrow. My goal is going to take this day by day, try and eat paleo when possible but in special situations such as the one last night I will break away from the diet. Training today was supposed to be a 5k run, I went out on a mountain bike ride instead which was great. My quads were definitely feeling it a bit from the last two days of training, and the ride today absolutely destroyed them. My legs are in some serious pain right now,…

Nutrition was awful yesterday. My main problem has become work, we get busy and I can’t take the time to make food so I end up eating whatever is around. This was the case yesterday. I had two slices of pizza and a huge chocolate chip cookie. I’m going to try and remedy this problem my cooking meals and bringing them to work so I have something ready to go. One thing that I was amazed with was that I woke up this morning with a legitimate hangover from the food. Kind of scary. Another thing I noticed this morning was that I had pretty bad gas which I would imagine was from the dairy. 11/19/09 IntakeCalories 2885Fat 113.5 gramsCarbs 266 gramsProtein 204 gramsFiber 27 gramsCholesterol 983mg Training rocked today.

Ate all Paleo yesterday. Definitely think I should have eaten more, but never at any point in the day did I feel hungry. 11/18/09 IntakeCalories 1743Fat 70.5 gramsCarbs 95.5 gramsProtein 183 gramsFiber 23.75 gramsCholesterol 1177mg Still pretty sore today. My traps and chest have a good bit of soreness in them, other then that I feel fine. I will say I was feeling a bit tired the last 24 hours, and slept a bit extra today. I slept about 9 hours. I had an 8 AM class which I should have gotten up for, but when my alarm went off I was just feeling to tired, had I gotten up that would have given me 6.5 hours of sleep. The extra couple hours I definitely think were needed. Warm Up:Stretching1000m Row WOD:50 24″ Box Jump50 Jumping Pull-ups50 35lb Kettlebell Swings50 Steps Walking Lunges50…

Diet was good yesterday. I did take in some non-paleo food. I had a very hard workout yesterday so I took in a scoop of ON whey, and a half serving of ON aftermax which is a whey and carb powder. Other then that everything was Paleo food. 11/17/09 IntakeCalories 2580 Fat 112 gramsCarbs 118 gramsProtein 262.5 gramsFiber 21 gramsCholesterol 1723 mg So definitely a much needed rest day today. As I write this, this evening my back is a little a sore, my chest is a bit sore, but my traps hurting pretty bad. I believe this came from doing the snatches from a hang which put a lot more stress on traps. Feeling good overall though today, and looking forward to the hopper WOD tomorrow. Happy to represent the great state that I live in with my good health. – Jade
