So Dani and I have already "cheated" and gone off of the Whole 30 program. We are switching to Paleo. She is going to incorporate small amounts of dairy, as it does not effect her G.I. system. And I am going to use protein powder and am craving Paleo pancakes, both of which aren't allowed by the Whole 30.
One big announcement!!! My "Everyday Paleo" cookbook just arrived in the mail today.. Wooooot!!!
Lots of great recipes and simple ideas.
Tomorrow we are having Paleo Blueberry Pancakes for breakfast..

Day 3, now we're getting some momentum..
I've been pretty hungry all day, and have been craving something different. So, I stayed up late and made the Meatball and Marinara post from the Facebook event site. If you missed it, here you go.

Marinara has been simmering for an hour and is really light and flavorful. Meatballs have a half hour. Probably going to eat these for lunch and dinner tomorrow..

Day 2, this is easy...
Way to get your clean on people! Day 1 is in the books.
With clean foods you may need to eat a bit more than you think to meet the demands of your active lifestyle. Here's a great list of Clean foods and recipes http://liveprimal.com/LPrecipes.pdf
I won't mention any names, but someone eh hem Matt, texted me today stating that they were a bit light headed and fainty because they'd not eaten very much.
During my first Paleo challenge, I had a similar experience. The next day the portions were larger for every meal. For lunch that day I filled a popcorn bowl half way with spinach leafs, the rest with chopped up veggies then topped it with chicken and some olive oil. Took me a half hour to find the bottom. But it did the trick.
So, don't be afraid to feed your body.. If it's clean and lean and full of nutrients, you'll be doing yourself a favor.
Here's a good link for you endurance athletes out there..

28 day Clean and Lean
This is a challenge to create new habits, and was inspired by this article.
www.mylwi.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/vistage-14-days.pdf
In short it takes “14 days to rewire your brain or create new pathways that make habits easier to follow.”
Why?
“Deep down, you know that promising yourself to change one more time just isn’t going to do it?
Crossfit preaches that exercise is only half of the true fitness equation. To be truly “fit” it takes “50% exercise & 50% diet.”
The article states “wellness is an integration of mind and body, and allowing yourself to change for the better.”
So what are we going to do for the challenge?
Page two of the article discusses ways to increase your ability to change.. We are going to utilize two of these methods.
This item you will keep private.
A) “write the truth about why you haven’t made changes and what changes are possible. Be honest.” Avoid negative phrasing like, “I can’t” or “it’s too hard.” “Consider how to rephrase these statements as things you can do.” As stated above, keep this for yourself to reference once the challenge is over.
This item we want you to share in your first post. This will be your Goal statement.
B) write down what you want to accomplish with this challenge. What are your goals? What habits to you want to change or create?
Rules of the challenge:
1) Create at least two goals or positive habits to achieve.
2) post your meals daily, along with any rants, raves, or interesting topics.

MANWOD 5, freaking EPIC!
Started off by having everyone carry either a log or stump from my truck to the Sylvan couse HQ, aka the dirty cement walls.
We then proceeded to throw down!
The expanded course is brutal to say the least.. The added hill climbs and wall muscle ups are beefy.
We also threw in regular and isometric squats on the pier, and finished each loop to ground to overheads with a stump or pullups.
Two chicky chikitas challenged the course for the first time, Theresa and Laurel. They gave a great effort and looked just as beat up as the rest of us post-wod.
Thanks for coming out and digging deep everyone!
See you at MANWOD 6......
