02/11/2012 Paleo Challenge Finale, Final Challenge Weigh In, and Future Plans Paleo Challenge Winners Guess who is not in this picture? Saturday morning I woke up feeling less than perfect. I took a Dayquil, an occicilium, drank two cups of coffee, took some endurolytes, and ate some starchy carbs. I took my dog for a walk to loosen up my legs, but I was stiff and sore from the day before. After dropping off Benny at Doggy Daycare (I know, it’s insanity), I had an early lunch, and picked up Catelyn who I sometimes give a ride to on the...

02/10/2012 Final Week of Paleo Challenge Out of all the weeks to get sick, my body could not have picked a better week. Other than the lack of weight loss, I was feeling great about my workouts, and my overall performance. I felt like I was going to crush my final workout that is until I woke up Monday morning. When I got out of bed I felt sick, I wasn’t running a fever yet, but my body was hotter than normal, yet I felt cold. Unfortunately I still have personnel issues at my main site, so when my Manager...

Day 30 Paleo Challenge Started my morning off with a feeling of ass, started to look for a cold remedy, and found that most over the counter syrups contain sucralose, so I bought some Nyquil and Dayquil gel caps. While sitting in the bitch chair yesterday, aka the Managers seat at one of my locations, I was reflecting on my weekend workouts. Saturday we did a 15 minute AMRAP, which I did as prescribed. It was 9 dead lifts at 155 lbs, 12 hand release push-ups, and 15 box jumps at 24”. It was one of those days where when...

Official Monday Morning Weigh In 262 lbs Caveman, sick, and not possible to be witty, or display unhappy about weigh in... A note from a gym that gives me inspiration... From Station 515 reason. do it for a fucking reason. it is a common statement, and when applied to every aspect of training, will yield more results than any piece of equipment, any fad-diet, or what you would get by following anyone elses training program. having a goal is the first part. it is easy to understand that a goal functions as the "why?" it is why we eat a...

02/02/2012 Paleo Challenge Day 27 Today was a rest day from workouts and from work, so no physical activity other than a great massage from Ingrid. I did a 90-minute session, and I felt like I had been in a car accident after she was done, you could say I like being manhandled by a woman… I spent another day doing errands, and cooking food for the upcoming week. If you looked into my fridge it would appear that I am keeping a circus animal as a pet, lots of meat, and green veggies. As the months pass, my shopping...

My Thoughts on the Biggest Loser I watched the recent episode of the Biggest Loser, the one where Bob Harper brought his obsession of CrossFit into one of the shows workouts by having the contestants do “Fran”. The first thing I thought about was how I felt at those bigger sizes trying to do things like jumping pull-ups, and squats. At one point of one of the younger guys fights for air, which is a feeling that I will never forget, because the more you try and open your mouth and open your throat for air the more it feels...

01/31/2012 Paleo Challenge Day 25 Feelings On Paleo Challenge After three weeks and some days I have mixed feelings about the Paleo Diet. I have been strict, as strict as I think is possible. My eating has been clean, I’ve gotten good sleep, and I’ve done everything I can to keep my stress levels low. In terms of my performance in the gym, I am clearly getting stronger, and I am getting better at Olympic Lifts. During the longer Metcons I am able to maintain a nice energy level throughout the work, but I don’t have the reserve gas tank...
