My Paleo eats (week 2)

Paleo week two is complete. See what I ate during week 1 here.

Prepping food in advance is so much easier, and if I plan to do this with paleo food, I know I won’t grab for anything off limits. Sunday afternoon I cooked up a whole package of bacon, and made more egg muffins. I’m not the hugest fan of these egg muffins, because I’m not the biggest fan of eggs – but it’s easy, quick and edible when I’m tired in the morning.prep fod

I cannot get over that I’m at the halfway mark (today). I don’t even want to be done yet! My pants are fitting a little looser and more comfortable, and I am seeing baby abs forming on my stomach. Heck yea. But at the same time I’m finding it hard to make my meals different each week.

I’ve also incorporated multivitamins and omega 3 pills with my meals each night. This little selection here is from Koge Vitamins* which I received to review.Koge Vitamins

How the hey do I review vitamins? Either way, I’m going to give it a few weeks to see if I feel different/better/noticeably blogworthy. I’ve already been taking multivitamins since January but I’m new to omega 3 capsules. There will be a discount for all my readers too.

*It’s a referral link to track how many people have clicked it. I don’t get a percentage of anything. Full review coming in a few weeks.

CrossFit Journal Year 2 Week 6

This was my first week at CrossFit after going Paleo (for thirty days). Have you seen what I’ve been eating the past week, in yesterdays post?

Have I noticed a difference in my abilities? Well, no not quite yet but I think it’s too early to judge any of that at the moment.

The short:

Monday — CrossFit
Tuesday —  Climbing
Wednesday — CrossFit
Thursday —  Climbing
Friday — rest (I planned on going to XFit but the power was out there!)
Saturday — rest
Sunday — rest

The long:

______________________________________________


year 2, week 6, day one

SWOD:
3 x 10 Front Rack Lunges
What I completed: 55lbs – 60lbs – 65lbs
WOD: AMRAP 15
5 deadlifts
39 double unders
* 30 second rest
What I completed: I ended up doing Rx’ed!! I can’t believe I deadlifted 135lbs, that’s MORE than my body weight!! I also got double unders for the first time. It was Paleo Day 2, so that’s my reasoning behind it all. However I did manage to mangle my elbows in the process. I can’t get all fifty double unders in at once, so I trip over the skipping rope and this is what happens (they’re still bruised): double under wounds
