Cheats:
Well, breakfast to start, but really I didn't go nuts. It was buffet style (and oh so tasty) and I ate a good portion of the eggs, meat and fruit and only took a bite or so of the other stuff. Then I had some cocoa rolled almonds. Yum. Typing that just gave me an idea. I'm going to try to make my own cocoa rolled almonds!

On the weekends, I am going to stay Zone/Paleo for the majority of the weekend, but throw a couple treats in there too. Nothing too crazy and no binging. Just a little spice to the weekend!

Dinner 1830 (3p/1c/1f)
3 oz pork (3p)
8 cherries (1c)
9 almonds (3f)
*I brought asparagus with me to eat, but it tasted bad, so I had to throw it away.

Snack 2200
Hamburger & hotdog (no bun)
*Went over to a friends house and ate some grilled yumminess. Not Zone nor Paleo, but it was good!

Cheats:
1 small/miniature Reese's PB cup (my fav), dark chocolate covered almonds (they are actually not too terrible for you, they are dipped in dark chocolate and rolled in cocoa. They don't have any artificial ingredients. From Trader Joe's)

I decided on the weekends I can be a little looser with myself. Not totally, just a little.

95# deadlift & 33# OHS

On the WOD: I should have gone heavier. The set of 21 DL and OHS I broke up into 2 sections, but otherwise the rest was unbroken.

On Food: Wasn't 100% Paleo today, I ate at Panera with my dad for lunch and had some bread! Gasp!! Only one slice and I didn't feel very good afterwards. It's always so yummy, but never worth it in the end!

2/23/2010

Day 2 of posting! I am on a role. Rich and I had a long conversation last night about working out etc, I've been a little lax lately (actually a lot lax). So, I've decided to join Crossfit Nasti, today. I think it will be good. I will have to be really motivated because I am going to have to get up at 5:00 am to get there for the 6:00am class. I think it'll be good. That and rededication to Paleo (I was a little lax for 2 weeks) will be good. Plus, I am thinking of starting a Paleo bakery. After all, it's the year of Amy!

Breakfast/lunch @ 12:30 pm:
2 eggs
leftover steak from last night (yum, yum)
1 tomato
hot tea

Dinner @ 8:00pm:
Root Vegetable Chicken/Apple sausage stew

WOD:
Tabata mash-up pull ups & box jumps (20")

I have been really, really bad about posting, but as of today, that is all changing!

Breakfast @ 7:15 am:
2 eggs
1 butternut squash lattke
~2 T organic (no sugar) cinnamon apple sauce
2 sausage patties

Lunch @ 1:30 pm:
3 giant handfuls baby spinach
sliced red onion
1/2 tomato, diced

bread and butter
macaroni and cheese
Opera Cream Cake from Bonbonnerie
I didn't eat ALL of the above, but definitely a little of each.
**I am generally Paleo all the time, but this was Rich's bday dinner, so I splurged a little. I did feel it after and the next day. But it was sooo good!
