I had ZERO desire to get out of bed today, these 9:30's feel like they've gotten earlier.  When I finally forced myself to do so I had just enough time to eat a banana and make a post work-out meal.  I grabbed some fresh organic spinach and gave it a quick chop, heated up my non-stizzy pan and dropped some avocado oil in.  From there it's as simple as adding the spinach, cracking two eggs, mixing it all up and viola!  Slice half an avocado and we've got a post-WOD meal, still warm by the time I finished stretching.

you gonna be gooooood.

Doesn't matter what it looks like when you pretty much inhale it after the WOD.

I'm super thankful that I love water, I've found that if I do not get enough water in me BEFORE the workout, no matter how much I drink during it, i'm still dehydrated.  So every morning, 24 oz before, whatever I drink out of the 24 oz bottle there and then my protein and water afterwards.  We're usually in the 72 oz range by the time I walk out the door.  I think it helps.

At about noon I let myself snack a bit on some baby carrots and broccoli florets, not much but I've been really trying to stock up on energy before I realize I'm out of it.  I had a few errands to run but as soon I returned home I was ready for a real meal, this was about 1:30pm.  I wasn't sure what I had in the fridge so I gave it a check.  I found some red leaf lettuce from the Fruit Bowl, a half rotisserie chicken, tomatoes, red cabbage, garlic, and some cilantro.  I also decided to steam some broccoli for later since I had to work and wanted to switch up some of the veggies I've been eating.

"Whateva-I-got" Salad 1

• Two heads red leaf lettuce
• meat from leg and thigh of rotisserie chicken, half skin discarded (couldn't get rid of it all)
• 1 plum tomato
• few thin slices of red cabbage
• about a tablespoon of fresh cilantro
• minced garlic
• extra virgin olive oil
• sherry vingegar
• touch of red wine vinegar

1. Chop lettuce to your liking and arrange on plate.
2. Pull meat from chicken bones and toss on salad
3. slice plum tomatoes into half moons and arrange on salad with the red cabbage.
4. Take an old jam jar (since that's too much sugar and preservatives for this diet) add garlic, vinegars and oil (I got for a 2:1 ratio of oil to vinegar), cover and shake till blended.  Take two tablespoons and drizzle over salad, reserve remaining dressing in the fridge.

One would think it very difficult to eat Paleo at Swingbellys, and at times that notion would be very true, however, there are plenty of great options.  With that said, every once and a while it's good to change things up and bring something from home.  Dinner was early tonight, about 5pm and then a snack again at 8:30, just three dry rub Swingz.

Steamed broccoli with a touch of sea salt, string beans, tomato, and leftover filet mignon, yummmmmmmm

Paleo has been no problem for these two days, let's see if it lasts.  I felt more successful after last weeks WODs, so far I feel like I'm missing something during this weeks WODs.  As The Dude once said, "Ups and downs, strikes and gutters."

No cheat meals, no cheat snacks, three meals, three snacks, meals within five hours, +2.  100+ oz of H20, 8.5 hours of sleep, post-WOD meal, no booze, no Omega 3 (Spirulina)
