Day Three.
Not as hungry this morning. Still stuck in the protein shake rut, I added some blueberries today, but I need to take the time to cook something for breakfast.
I think I hit the wall today.

Day Two ~ 1.14.14
Day Two.
It didn't take me long to figure out why I was hungry all day yesterday. Even with a after dinner snack, I was still around 1100 calories. Not near enough, especially with yesterday's workout. Today I'm going to try to get closer to 1700, I think that is a good goal. I did manage to get roughly 171 grams of protein, most of which came from lean meat/fish.
Still very hungry, I'm going to find something more to eat in the AM for sure.

Fitness -
"Body Blast" Class at the "other" gym. I know, I know. But, sometimes I can't make the WOD, and it is a good cardio session.
Still starving all day, I have to figure out a way to get more calories.

Day One ~ 1.13.14
Day One.
This past weekend we went to a water park with four other couples and their families. Needless to say, my pre-Paleo weekend wasn't "clean".
I was very hungry before lunch, and even ate 30 minutes earlier than normal.
Food -
Breakfast - Premier Protein Shake.
Lunch - 6 oz Albacore Tuna with red onion, yellow bell pepper and 1 TB mayo. Grapes and Celery.
Snack - Hard Boiled Egg
Dinner - Chicken, green beans and pineapple.
Fitness -
Warm up - row 750 / 10 push ups / 10 amsu / 10 barbell back squat.
5x 3 back squat - 215, probably could of got 230.
5x 21 hang power clean / 12 ohs - 17:17 at 75 lbs. I think I could of done maybe 10 lbs more
.I didn't expect day one to be difficult, but I've been starving all day. I'm guessing most of that is because I didn't eat well this weekend, and also on the killer WOD today.
Weight - 253.8 lbs
Chest - 46 in
Waist - 49 in

The Plan...
The Plan
I've read enough about eating Paleo to grasp the general idea. It sounds complicated and involved at first, and I think you can make it as complicated as you want.
I'm not an overly complicated person, and at the same time, I tend to over think things if allowed to. So, I've customized my Paleo journey in a way keeping with the spirit of the challenge, but at the same time getting as much out of it as I can. I've created a simple table listing do's and don'ts. I think it will be the easiest way to stay the course.
Sounds simple as pie, oh yeah, probably should't have pie either. Anyway, you get the idea, clean up the diet.
I am going to allow myself a little "artistic license" as follows.

I am going to allow myself a little "artistic license" as follows.
- An occasional prepared protein shake for breakfast.
- Natural peanut butter as an occasional treat.
So, that's about it.
Until next time...

Challenge Accepted!
Recently my box, 810 Crossfit, has challenged us to take the "30-Day Look Better Naked Challenge", which is basically cleaning up you diet and preparing to be Paleo.
Part of the challenge is to share the experience with another member and to lean on them for inspiration and support. While I intend to do that, I also plan on tracking the journey here as well.
