The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible. - Arthur C. Clarke
Hey guys, sorry for last slacking on the last couple of days, I am still on the diet! I went up to NY on Friday afternoon, and didn't get back until very late last night, and then was at the AT&T National Tournament all day today, so it was tough to blog. Apparently iPhone's do everything except let you go to blogspot.com to post a blog, I found it very difficult to do so.
I tried to keep a running log of what I was eating while I was gone, but I figured it'd be tough for me to put them all in here in 1 entry, so I am going to take the opportunity to speak my mind about how hard it is to eat Paleo in the real world, as well as how crappy everyday food is!
Now I am not one to judge anyone, because I weight 335 lbs a couple of months ago and I ate everything in sight. Pizza, cheese steaks, french fries, you name it, I ate it. I just didn't care. Well considering I played football at a lean 305lbs, when I got up to a bad 335lbs, I realized it was time to do something. I started by merely calorie counting, and that worked pretty well. I dropped a quick 30lbs, but then I plateaued. I started to do P90x, but that became too hard for me to do, it was just too tough to do in my 2nd bedroom by myself. My crossfit history only starts recently, but I can date it back a little further. I had tried doing Platoon Fitness, but they were all personal training, and I prefer to work in groups.
Anyways, it was tough to find Paleo foods this week, but thank god I was able to. I ended up eating the same thing a couple of times, but that's only because I bought them in bulk. I lived at the grocery store, and I was able to buy a lot of good food. I bought some chicken, spinach, salsa, guacamole, walnuts, and a ton of fruit. I felt bad, because my aunt tried to make me some food, and she thought she was doing my a favor by making a chicken dip, but it was a buffalo chicken dip, so I couldn't eat anything besides the chicken. I had to politely decline, but it worked out for me. I just snacked on walnuts and pineapple.
Anyways, thanks for following, and I'll resume the normal blogging tomorrow. Leave some comments about crazy foods and what not you used to/still eat. I'm interested in seeing what others eat too.
Good job son! Proud of you in the "real" world. Having fun with dad?
ReplyDeleteIn response to your last question, I used to not be vegan... but mom just told me that the Paleo diet is very similar to a vegan diet, aside from you eating meat and such, but if you ever need some random recipes I have a lot of them and some good cookbooks with all sorts of meals.
