Tee's Paleo Challenge

Major catchup…right so, I just finished a midterm and damn I really would’ve done better…if I had actually studied rather than procrastinate all day saturday and going out with my parents on sunday D: this will not happen again. D: < it musn’t…my pride is on the line. 

So Sunday, we went for Greek Food, we ordered lamb and I ‘tried’ and kept it 90% paleo, as there was rice and potatoes…and yes they did touch the meat and the salad had some type of cheese on it, Feta I think…but managed to stay away from dessert and well thats’ that. Today it was on full paleo, but test made me anxious all day and today at the gym I ran into someone, let’s just say this person was detrimental to my planned workout and leave it at that… in short, today was just not my day… =P but, I’m home now, and looking forward to sleeping it off. 

pronto.

Alright. I definitely caught the exercise bug. I think by consistently exercising throughout the week, I’ve developed a habit thanks to natural endorphins keeping me drugged up after my workout, and not cheating on food is actually making me feel more energetic, that, and I’m getting stronger! :D The only downside is…I feel like I’m spending a lot of money on gym gear and equipments…bought new workout gloves and tshirt! Gotta get some new runners too, the old one is making my feet feel miserable. 

Eats: 
Brunch: Paleo blackberry pancakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *_* they were the bomb. srsly. + Coffee.
Snack: Mixed nuts + banana
Dinner: Steak + Spinach + Brussel Sprouts

Exercise: 
30 minute stationary-row
60 minute stationary-bike

Dip @ lvl 7: 15-5-5-3-3-1
Pull Up @ lvl 7: 5
Pull Up @ lvl 9: 12
Dip @ lvl 6: 5
Pull Up @ lvl 6: 5

+ 5 proper pushup :D!  
+ 1 minute plank

Conclusion: 
PROPER PUSHUPS FOR THE WIN…even if I can only do 5…but major improvement since I started with 0. At this rate, I probably can move up a couple more levels on the pullup machine before school’s out!!

Dietary cholesterol has no correlation to serum cholesterol. Go ahead, order a steak, enjoy it. Just don’t wash it down with a softdrink or with bread, those are more likely to raise your LDL levels.

HUNTERS HUNT. And I like to think of myself as a hunter when I stalked to WholeFoods @ 4 miles / hour and then hunted Bison, Eggs, Coconut Flour and Almond Meal, seriously it was a hunt, but the icing on the cake has to be later in the day when I decided to travel on foot to a ‘nearby’ No Frills for Blackberries @ 4.8 miles per hour… I almost didn’t believe that I went up/down those hills in a few seconds over 1 hour…seriously, it was like a slow jog only it wasn’t tiring at all… I actually think I’m getting good at this haha…

Eats: 
Breakfast: Turkey Soup
Lunch: Steak + Eggs + Brussel Sprouts + Mustard
Snack: Egg + Smoked Salmon
Dinner: Chicken Curry with Coconut Milk + Stewed Veggies + Bed of Greens
Dessert: Piece of Lindt 90% Chocolate

Workout: 
Hunting WholeFoods… 
Brisk Walk: 1hr30min
+ Playground Circuit Training: 10 min 

CONCLUSION: 
1. Keeping it Cheat Free! +1
2. Feeling good about doing all my grocery shopping today with…INTENSITY.
3. I shall put those almond/coconut flour to good use after I finish my Econ homework ;D

 

Okay, confession. I CHEATED. yet. again…it’s a small bite…but cheating is cheating and I have to confess…BUTJUSTLOOKATITWOULDNTYOU?

This will be the last time in the next 2 months I swear, SINCE! Mom booked the tickets for my vacation in MAY which would happen in 8 WEEKS EXACTLY. UM. HOLY SHIT! THAT’S SOON!! Not only that, but HOLY SHIT. I’m going to a place, where fitness is almost unheard of…and smoking and drinking is the daily workout…*cough* BUT, the point is. I’M GOING HOME FOR 25 DAYS AND I’M GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN…even though my body probably wouldn’t like me for the month of debauchery MAY, but it’s a good enough reason to take care of it now, for 2 months and then let loose for 25 days…

think of it as…

INTERVAL TRAINING 

LOL. :P no…just kidding. 

I’m sure I’ll manage, by doing burpees whenever my friends chain smoke, and squats when they are not looking and heck I’ll even attempt a pull-up if I find a strong enough door frame…haha. OH. And who can forget, BOAT ROWING, on a real lake and not on a machine! WIN WIN!

I’m sure I’ll find ways to incorporate some intensive interval training into my day :) 

 Eats: 
Breakfast: blackberries, almond milk, sweet potato
Snack: coconut cake
Lunch: steak, brussel sprouts, mustard
Snack: apple larabar! 
Dinner: chicken soup + forkful of ALMOND…danish :P 

Workouts: 
10 min interval training
60 min brisk walk
+rounds at COSTCO.

Conclusion: 
1. Pretty good day, even if I had a small slip.
2. Larabar! I didn’t know COSTCO had them, until I went there with my dad (since you know he ran out of his usual snack bars, and I saw the Larabars and it went off in my head. Yes!! Buy in bulk. It came down to $1/bar and I thought that was a pretty good deal since the lowest price I’ve seen them at is WholeFoods at $1.75/bar, so why not. I managed to convince him, the bar is much healthier than the Nature Valley ones he usually get…by READING THE INGREDIENTS OUTLOUD. Srsly, I never knew dextrose, maltodextrin, soy lectin and SUGAR is the main ingredients in those bars…nasty. And so, I tried my first Larabar! The Apple one, it was very moist and chewy, delicious. I loved the hint of cinnamon. It really reminded me of PIE. yum! 
3. I also found a 2 weeks beginner training for crossfit pdf online, and looked it through. It didn’t look all that bad, after all. Pushups and situps and squats…I do them often…right? WRONG… it’s killer…especially…pushup after pushup… I did 5 real ones and then after that…it was back on my knees.

): It pwned me. 

BUT NOT FOR LONG.  

GOALS FOR TOMORROW:

1. Aim for more greens!
2. Continue with workouts!
