Hard Sunday

Was tired today moved the clocks ahead. Church breakfast swimming then home to veg had a glass of wine and some gf chips. Breakfast was a banana then sausage egg and fruit then mixed veg the gf chips an apple and almond butter damn no wonder I was hungry that's like only a 900 cal day.

Weighed in weight was the same but lost 8 inches!

Here is last nights rock climb! Fun!

Workout Saturday

Today is an active day! Did bootcamp this morning then ran 10k this aft and am going to take the girls rock climbing tonight.

Started eating bananas and peanut butter this morning until I remembered peanuts were not paleo. Then had sausage and an egg. After bootcamp a banana and paleo bar. Then had a chicken salad, after my run a handful of cashews. Tonight I made pork steaks and roasted root veg and paleo muffins. Though they have a bit of sugar so not 100% paleo. Will keep working on recipes to find ones we love.

Slip or sip

Ok Yesterday ended doing my folks taxes and drinking red wine! I did stick to all paleo but three glasses was not really in the plan for March. Today was Paleo crunch for breakfast and then sweet potatoe and pork for lunch. I roasted the potatoes and onions with some olive oil and cumin, chili, and cinnamon it was so so good. The I had some more pork for dinner and some nuts and a few carrots. I tried some sweet potatoe fries from the fresh produce area but they were not great. I am going to eventually ween down some of my carbs but this week glad to be paleo for the entire work week!

Breakfast for lunch

Today my parents are here yah! We had a big breakfast together fried eggs homemade gf sausage coffee with coconut milk. Ditto this for lunch. Snack was trail mix and banana as witnessed in empty peel and almond milk latte yum.

Just did a workout with Jenn it was great and love being pushed. Had a water 700ml but that was the first water today . My bad. Jenn wants me to track my fats to make sure I get enough so I will ck this from time to time by tracking.

New purchase Steve's Original Paleo Krunch so so good! But just had two fillings so biting my frozen lip lol.

Another great day

Ate well grapefruit and nuts, apple and nuts, spaghetti squash and buffalo, clementines. I did have go eat the center out of a quiche after the gym before church as it was the best option and I was starving! Did 40 min on eliptical. Water a bit better at 4 and more herbal tea black.

When I got home tonight Kev had a steak ready yah!

Eating on the drive

I was so hungry on the way home I ate the strawberries right out of the pack on the way. I do believe they were the best strawberries ever. For dinner I ate the last of the rutabaga and bacon and buffalo burger and spaghetti sauce on top.

We took the kids swimming tonight so burned some cals there then I walked/ran on the treadmill for 30 mins while I watched the housewives!

Then tonight I made the best homemade guacamole ever and had a few beet chips with it.

I have tried the coconut milk in my coffee but I'm not sold on it yet.

Off to buy groceries

No snacking last night!

Here are today's eats so far. Starving on my way home for dinner!

Wait going to do a run before I get home or stair climber? Off to the gym!

Today's Eats

Breakfast was a protein bar and nuts pre-meeting with Jenn and a banana for a morning snack lunch was roasted rutabaga with bacon and two poached eggs and an apple/pear and a few nuts and this aft snack was nuts and an apple. I have a nut theme going! At Taekwon-Do with the girls contemplating dinner!

I bought the book the Primal Blueprint today at the gym. Will keep you posted on those thoughts.

Dinner was a buffalo burger patti and a salad and a half sweet potatoe with butter. I opened a can of coconut milk and put it in the bullet and used it in my chai tea. Not too bad. Will try coffee in the am with it. May save me $3 a day :)

Paleo to 40

I will be 40 in almost exaclty six months on August 31, 2013. I am a runner who is doing everything right except for one thing...what goes in my mouth. I am good sometimes and not sometimes. I believe in eating clean but sometimes I perfer highly processed salt coated bundles of goodness. My ass therefore will look like a highly processed salt coated bundle of goodness! That's not so good.

I met with my trainer today, Jenn McKinnon, who I love and used a few years ago and now she will be welcomed to torture and scold me again!! A job she says she looks forward to. I think she may perfer the terms train and support!! Jen is at V02 Max here in Grande Prairie, AB.

  

She may look sweet here but don't be fooled.

I am starting this challange to myself at 162lbs on Jenn's scale. I am not so concerned with what I weigh but how I look and feel. My ideal weight I think is about 140lbs but if I am 150lbs of muscle, I am down with that.

Today we did my fitness test and I ran a mile in 9:40 and then Jenn counted burpies and situps and box jumps. I will give you those comparison numbers in a month. I will also post some before and after pics when I am happy with the after haha.

I have a few races this year the Half or Full Run Wild in St Albert in May not sure yet which one see how I feel. I am doing Leg 1 of the Canadian Death Race in August. I feel pretty good just have my left knee that does not like to be hyper extended on the take off on my runs and my shoulder is a bit sore from always sleeping on the same side. I am interested to see how the paelo plan will help this.

I am going to blog my fitness and nutriton as a record to myself and for Jenn to see and anyone else who finds following it useful.
