More than 50 of you need to post your food log. Let's keep it going - there should be 70+ comments before Wednesday night. Put it together and post at minimum your last three days. This will help our on-going discussion of macro-nutrient balance, acid-base balance, protein consumption, insulin sensitivities, etc. Submitting Food Logs is part of the challenge - there is an accountability aspect here. 10% of your score is based on submitted timely and accurate food logs.
Check out this ample $6.49 Whole Foods Breakfast below....yes a lil bacon is salty and has a bunch of saturated and monounsaturated fat, but in moderation it's a better cheat than having potatoes or toast in my book. Glycemic Index is zero, and their stuff is free range and nitrate free. I'm estimating this bowl at 5 blocks of Protein, 2 blocks of Carbs and 10 blocks (of less than stellar but tasty) Fat.
Wednesday - Gymnastic Focus
Warm-up & Technique
- Mid-floor Handstand Holds - Try out the parallettes as well.
Technique
- Forward, Backward and Shoulder rolls
Workout (4 stations - 3 Rounds - rotate through each station starting every minute - just like Fight Gone Bad - partner up and grab a stopwatch and logbook)
- Max freestanding and/or walking handstand (1 pt for each second inverted - partner use stopwatch)
added to
- 1 min of 20" box jumps (1 pt for each box jump)
added to
- 1 min of distance covered in butt scoots (1 pt for every foot covered)
added to
- 1 min of superman rocks (1 pt for every rock)
rest 1 min.
Each Athlete will have a point score for the 14 minute workout. If a wall is used on handstands divide time/points by 5. Max score is 12 if handstand is held against wall for 60sec. If attempting a midfloor handstand walk/hold you can go up and down as much as you like. Clock always stops when your feet or ass hits the ground. Enjoy.

- Everyone wish Pete a Happy 30th Birthday if you see him.
Posted by Kendal on 11/18 at 10:10 AM - Well, last week I was in a hotel for 5 days. I managed to eat alright but caved to some fries and gravy... twice.
Eating paleo good in a restaurant can be a challenge. There is always chicken salad. What I found was the dishes closest to clean eating were the more expensive ones ie. steak and veggies. Just remember to NOT get potatoes with them (as stated above - I tried to fool myself into "I'll just have a couple...")
Monday
4 eggs, pineapple, avocado (zone balanced)
Turkey breast, apples, cashews (zone balanced)
5 block shake (double fat)
Steak, brocoli, cashews.
Turkey breast, apple, cashews (zone balanced)
Tuesday
4 eggs scrambled with Landjaeger sausage, onions and peppers, pineapple, avocado. (zone balanced/double fat)
5 blocks shake (double fat)
Turkey breast, apples, almonds (zone balanced/double fat)
Turkey burger (no bun), spinach salad, almonds
Langjaeger sausage, banana, cashews (zone balanced/double fat)
I must admit this is the way I eat normally. I only have starch with cheat meals. My paleo goals are to eat more veggies and less fruit. I've also given up chewing gum - this has proved very difficult. I apologize in advance for coffee breath.

SO I'm going to be honest I'm struggling with the whole thing. Being organised is by far the most difficult thing. Food wise I enjoy eating Paeleo but, its the prep is proving exceptionally difficult. If I don't have lunch prepped its pretty hard to get a zone or paeleo meal near the office, with the time constraints.
Plenty more excuses that I could add but, I'll keep working at it.Posted by Pete's Eats!!! on 11/18 at 11:09 AM - What's up with the Leaderboard for yesterday's WOD?
Love seeing what the paleo'ers are eating, it's giving me some good ideas.. What's a tasty way to cook kale? Want to try it, having a hard time imagining "garnish" tasting good..
And HAPPY HAPPY DIRTY 30 PETE K.!!

Eating paleo for the main meals, was not too bad. I will have to learn to restrain myself more when it comes to snacking between meals and not pinching some of the kids food/goodies.Posted by c-dub on 11/18 at 12:23 PM - Nice work everybody!
Happy Birthday Pete K!!
Life begins at 30.Posted by Pink Pig on 11/18 at 12:56 PM - Sorry guys, I didn’t know that I had to keep a food log. Here is a sampling of my last three days. I have been doing really well, until this week! I cheated with some pita chips and some milk. I have focused on having lost of different veggies with each meal, lots of kale, cabbage and chard. Broccoli is a favorite and carrots make yummy snacks. I made some homemade Mayo (egg yolk, olive oil, mustard powder, lemon juice and S&p) and had it as a dip twice. Is that a cheat?? It tasted really good so I think it probably is!
Day 1:
• 2 eggs –sunny side up
• ½ tomato, ½ avocado, slice of red onion (all mixed together with lemon, Sea salt and pepper)
• romaine salad with ½ handful of walnuts, olive oil, and S&P
• 3 slices of chicken breast
• 1 mandarine orange
• 5/6 oz steak
• cup of cooked kale with s&p, drizzle of olive oil
• ½ cup cooked carrots
• romaine salad leaves (1.5 cups)
Day 2:
• Coffee with almond milk
• Hard boiled egg
• **Baked Pita Chips (50g)
• 5 broccolini pieces
• head of spinach
• 8 almonds
• chicken breast, cubed, lightly fried with sea salt and pepper.
Day 3:
• Coffee with skim milk
• Chicken breast with salad (romaine, raw zucchini, celery stick and 5 slices of red pepper)
• 2 boiled eggs
• ½ Raw zucchini, whole cucumber with sea salt, ½ head of romaine lettuce with Udo oil and s&p. 2 raw carrots.Posted by kayla on 11/18 at 02:49 PM - Hey Pete Happy Birthday, they say it is all down hill from here but don't believe it buddy it looks like you may still have a couple good years left in ya.

I am trying to follow the diet but dining out can be hard and so is avoiding the wine!!!Posted by Cindy Bubb on 11/18 at 03:04 PM - Hi Teri,
I am not following the Paleo diet but I have a good kale idea...
Kale Chips
1. Wash a bunch of Kale
2. Tear or cut off the steams
3. Cut the remaining kale into medium-sized pieces
4. Drizzle with olive oil, minced garlic and a dash of S&P (kosher salt)
5. Bake in oven at 375' for 15 minutes (turn half way) until crispy
Sooo yummy, healthy and just like chips.Posted by Brooke on 11/18 at 03:32 PM - There's a couple great looking bison recipes at the bottom of this blog post:
http://tanglednoodle.blogspot.com/2009/11/hell-on-meals-damn-good-cookbook.html
One for homemade bison sausage and one for bison sausage bread. The 1st is almost paleo (uses maple syrup), the 2nd could be if you know of a good flour substitute.Posted by Jenn on 11/18 at 08:51 PM - Awesome, thanks Brooke!
Posted by Teri on 11/18 at 11:03 PM
- kale is also nice sauteed in a little olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt and cracked pepper. let the tips get a little crispy. mmm...
