I was out of sweet potatoes so I had to improvise and use regular potatoes. I had a tough lifting day and I figure that any sort of carb is better than no carbs for glycogen restores.

After going low carb for the last few weeks, I thought I would do a refeed today. Here is what I am having for lunch.

  • Half of a chicken (mix of dark and white meat)
  • 3 cups sweet potato
  • 1 cup yellow onion
  • 1 cup red pepper
  • 1 small can of tomato sauce
  • Chicken broth

I have a few snacks for later as well. I will try and post all the food I eat today on my other blog for those that care. www.startbeingfit.com

I was a little disappointed when I picked this book up only to discover it had nothing to do with the Primal/Paleo lifestyle and how to raise a child that way.

I had one of my favorite meals for lunch today. Meat and sweet potatoes with vegetables. I could eat this every day. I washed it all down with a protein shake made up of a protein powder, banana and some strawberries. As you might be able to tell, today was a lifting day so my carb intake is up.

Today's workout consisted of more density training

 

  • Squats and Push Presses for 7 minutes
  • Lunges and Arnold Presses for 7 minutes
  • Followed by an intense ab session.

I thought I would try standing at my desk today to see how I liked it. If it is something I can see myslef doing long term, I may have my desk raised so I dont have to use a box. I also came up with some clever moves to help with the experience.

I had this bad boy in the crockpot all night. It was my first time not only making it but also eating it. It turnd out fantastic and I can see me making it again. The only downside has been the burps it has given me.

I know I am breaking a very important Primal rule with my sleeping habits lately. As you can see from the picture below, I have been sleeping on a hospital pull out bed. It’s cold, short, and makes a horrible squeaking noise every time.  The one thing it does give me though is the ability to stay at the hospital with my wife and newborn son. Heck, I would sleep on the floor if it meant that I was at the hospital with them.

I am looking forward to the day that we can all go home together and enjoy our own beds.

I thought this video was pretty good at explaining the Paleo diet in a very generic sense. It didnt go into specifics as much as some would probably like but in the time allowed, I think it could really help people get interested in it.

Today we went to a BBQ place called Smoke House BBQ. I ordered a platter meant for 2 but was a little disappointed by the amount of meat that I ended up receiving. In fact, I would say that it was barely enough to feed one. I was supposed to get 2 pieces of chicken, some sausage, and two ribs. I got all of that but most of the pieces with the exception of the sausage lacked any sort of substantial meat.

Even though I had enough BBQ sauce on my plate to reclassify this meal as a soup, I found the meat to be extremely dry and without much flavor.

On a scale of 1-10 I would rate this place a 4 and I left feeling unsatisfied.

This isnt a very good picture but its all I had. I put a whole skinless chicken in the crockpot last night with some spices and awoke to this glorious site! 5 bucks for the chicken and my wife and I should be able to eat off of it for a few days.

On my way to the gym today, I realized I had forgotten my gym shoes. Instead of turning around and going back to the office, I decided to wear these bad boys...with no socks!

This cake was made for our baby shower. I had a piece of it last night and it was good! Too good in fact. Now it sits on the counter taunting me! Eat me! Eat me! I must resist!
