Day #1

What is your goal?
We need a destination (or goal). If you have no end point, you have no route on how to get there. Your just wandering. Yes, you can still be headed in the right general direction, but if you know exactly where your going, you can get there faster.

Know where you are starting from.
Depending on what you goal is, benchmark something. A workout time, weigh yourself, take a picture, do all-of-the-above... You have no idea how far you have come if you have no clue where you started at.

What is your goal/destination? And what is your starting point/benchmark?

  2. Decided to try out the Paleo before measuring out food for Zone. I try to eat pretty clean during the week, but I've always drank a ton of milk (skim) and had subway sandwiches a few times throughout the week. I usually bring all of my food to work so I have stuff to eat throughout the day, but the toughest part has been getting myself to make dinner instead of grabbing a sandwich or wrap, etc. Most of the meals won't be a big departure from what normally eat, but I think the biggest part for me will be eliminating grains and dairy.

    Day #1 (16 Nov 09)

    Pre-workout (non-CF day), 5:30 am: 1 scoop whey, 1 cup applesauce

    Post-workout, 7:00 am: 1 scoop whey, 1 scoop caesin/carb mix

    Snack, 9:30 am: 1 scoop whey, 1 scoop caesin/carb mix, handful of walnuts, 1 cup black coffee

    Snack, 11:00 am: 3 egg whites, 1 egg yolk, think thin protein bar

    Lunch, 2:30 pm: 3 egg whites, 1 egg yolk, turkey slices, handful of walnuts

    Dinner, 6:30 pm: piece of salmon and sauteed mushrooms

    Dinner #2, 7:15 pm: first meal was pretty small so had some chili (ground beef, 1/3 avocado, black olives, tomatoes)

    Ate a bunch of meals but all of them were pretty small. Only got to the grocery tonight and cooked up a bunch of stuff, so I won't have to have as many shakes and instead have more whole foods during the week. I'm interested to see how my performance during the CF WODs goes. Tues/Thurs/Sats are days when I workout twice, so tomorrow morning I'll be doing a run and a boxing workout on the heavy bag. Should be a good day, looking forward to the WOD tomorrow night.
