Tomorrow it's clean eating or I'm out some money.

Rain, Rain, Go Away, Come Back Another Day....

Today was my last romance with food for awhile.  I had a cappuccino from Cafe Lladro with a raw sugar, I ate Swedish Fish, I drank 3 glasses of wine with my steak, and I finished the evening with an ice cream sundae.  Tomorrow starts the challenge.  See the rules at the bottom of the post.

Breakfast:  1 cappuccino w/ a raw sugar, 2 eggs scrambled, 2 sausages, 1/2 avocado
Lunch:  1 package swedish fish
Dinner:  1/2 steak, mushrooms, garlic asparagus, 3 glasses red wine
Dessert:  ice cream sundae

Workout:  6 x 400M, 3 minutes rest between intervals
Goal: maintain same pace within 3 seconds for each run.
Note:  Did this on a treadmill and it noticeably affected my time(s).

Thanks Marc for sending out the Rules.  This is what I will live by for the next two and a half months.

These are the rules.

May 16 - July 31.

We need to eat Paleo (clean) for this entire time.
We get one cheat meal per week.
We get three "get out of jail" cards during this period, meaning if you eat poorly outside of your cheat meal you can use one of these cards.

What does eating clean mean? No gluten, legumes, and dairy. Exception to the dairy are whey shakes and pat's whole milk in his whey shake. (and my heavy cream with my Americano)  :D

A very little amount of wine is OK. Pat can also have a "near beer" here and there, but not go crazy. 

Any other exceptions need to be discussed prior to the start.

I would like to ask that we enter our meals into Beyond The White Board (if possible). Any other meal tracking systems is also OK.

Spouses or family members should be our monitor.

A Different Method of Training

I love to Run, and I love Crossfit.  This Spring I trained for a half marathon the old fashion way, gradually adding miles week after week until my legs finally said "HELL NO!"  The end result was overtraining, subpar WODs, and an unhappy Moe.

Crossfit Endurance has a unique approach to training for long distance races that does NOT include long runs week after week.  Over the next few weeks I'll be using this methodology to train for a full marathon in my cool new shoes.  My plan will not include a training run over 13.1 miles.  The results shall be revealed 6/25.

Lunch:  Spicy Teriyaki Chicken and Beef without Rice
Dinner:  1/2 Steak, 4 squares sea salt dark chocolate, 2 glasses red wine
Note:  Getting Geared up for a new nutrition challenge that starts Monday between a few friends.  More on that tomorrow.

Workout:  20 minute Swim

Mother's Day

Blogger was down yesterday, so this post is for Mother's Day and Monday.  Sunday contained some more cheat foods, but the Paleo lasagna was terrific..  Yesterday was back on track and will continue through the week. 

My legs muscles are tight from the run, but the WOD yesterday helped to loosen things up.  Compared to last November, my legs are feeling pretty good!

There is a new weblink on the right hand of the page for the The Foodee Blog .  Check it out for great Paleo ideas.
