My report from September 3, 2009, faithfully submitted for your review…
Hrs of sleep:
7.5-ish?Veggies:
1 c butternut squash
1/2 cucumber
1 red pepper
1.5 c snap peas
1/2 carrot
1 c cabbage
1 c broccoli
2/3 c eggplant
1/4 c onionFruit:
1 banana
2 c strawberries
Training:
CrossFit Women
5 rounds:
15 pushups
30 box jumps
400m runI finished 4 full rounds before Crystal called “time” at about 23 minutes. It was a barn-burner! I decided to really focus on my pushups and did each one with elbows in close, chest to the ground. It was rough, man. Like… 5 at a time rough.
3-mile run
Dave and I postponed our sprints until Saturday and decided to run the 3-mile loop instead. I did my usual 3-minute intervals but ended each one with a 15-second pick-up, just to switch it up a bit. After two miles, I decided I’d had enough and walked the rest of the way.
The skinny
I hit the pillow at 9:00 but was still trying to get into sleep mode at 9:30. I drifted off but slept lightly throughout the night. I woke up to pee. I woke up ’cause my legs were hot. I woke up to pee again. I woke up ’cause Dave was moving. Finally, I slept like a rock — between 4:00 and 5:00. Lame!

1 cucumber
Handful of baby carrots

1 banana
The stuff in my Paleokit
Training:
1.5 miles on the treadmill plus a little more while I was messing around, trying to get my iPod to work properly. Then a little bit here and there on other cardio machines.
I weighed today (day 5 of my Paleo escapade) and I'm already down 2 pounds!
Thanks for keeping me accountable, Mel!
Nice work, Mer! 8 hours in AND 2 lbs. gone. AWESOME! Good on you, superstar.
Awesome work to both of you!

Mentally not there yesterday. Did 2 rounds and was just done. Hate it when I do that to myself.
Is it ok if I post it here just like I keep track of it? If not, I will do it the other way tomorrow! : -) Yesterday was non stop running around, so there was lots of grazing going on. almonds here…asparagus an hour later…I really don't know whether that's good or bad. I just know I usually don't do that. Try to get carb/prot/fat in every meal or snack (except no fat post-WOD).
Good job everyone! Especially the new paleo people…it's a lot to wrap your head around at once…and to throw in sleep and training – Kudos!!!! And Mel…excellent veggie's yesterday! Lots of different colours!
9/3/09 Log:
8 hours sleep! Finally!

s2 – 2:30: – 6 stalks of asparagus
s3 – 3:30: 1 oz chicken breast.
D – 6:30: "chili"…7 small tomatoes, 1/2 yellow squash, 1/2 red onion, 2 cups mushrooms, 1/2 ear corn (treat!), 1/2 bunch of cilantro, large handful of brocolli slaw, 4 oz sirlion, all the appropriate chili spices…topped with 1/2 diced avocado. this made 2 servings. Ate half tonight…will eat the other half later. Dessert: 1/2 cup of rasp and blueberries with slivered almonds.
9:00 Larabar
Jen, love your details. Nice job on the 8 hours. I'm going for 9 tonight… woot!
Um… how freakin' delicious are those Cinnamon Roll Larabars?!?!
Delicious enough that I ate 2 yesterday. Usually try to limit myself to 1! 🙂 My favs are the banana bread and the cashew nut, because they each have 6 grams of protein. I'm still trying to break my 'needs to have 20 grams of protein to be a good bar' habit…but still pick the larabars with the most…usually! Like you said, the cinnamon ones are to die for!
