And so its that day that everyone loves and dreads that wonderful day of rest, but yet the day before Monday, its Sunday! I can tell you though I don't know when my last Sunday was a day of rest. . . but enough ranting it's time for my day and analysis of CrossFit, the Paleo Challenge and where I'm at and how I feel!
First I want to discuss CrossFit and share a little about how it has impacted my life in the last 2 months. in just a few words, "It has changed everything." I stumbled across some pictures and measurements from the day before I started CrossFit and just with a comparison in the mirror I know I have changed physically, but that isn't what really gets me. I know, can feel and tell that I'm bigger faster and stronger than I was 2 months ago. In addition my mental toughness, my competitiveness, my inner drive, my well being, my sense of Self has finally returned to a place that it hasn't been in a few years of which I attribute to a sense of loss and confusion when I choose to leave West Point. This is part of the reason that, as a few of you may know, I have decided to get my Level-1 Certification and this will take place in two weeks! I'm super excited!! Expect a few blogs and pictures etc from the cert! I cant wait to be able to help out at the box and give back to the wonderful group of people that have helped me out to this point and as I know we all will continue to grow!
My second point I want to make goes out to those of you that know I am a biology student and am currently studying in the hopes of getting into med-school within the next year or two. Because of this I have decided that I want to write a few "sciency" post here and there about whatever comes to mind be in Insulin management/hyperinsulimea on a greater scale or muscle hypertrophy, degradation, rebuilding etc and basically everything human physiology related! So be on the look out for that if that's something you want to read.
O and as you may notice I got bored this morning before my hockey game and made that nifty little header that you see on top of the blog there not too bad for like 30 minutes of work eh?
I also bought a nifty little journal that I plan to use to keep track of my paleo diet throughout the day, (I quickly covered it in scribbles of runes and runic symbols for strength power, well-being, safety, protection and courage amongst others which I found fitting with the Paleo/Primal idea/theme which you can see below)
And my final blurb before I get into what I ate for today since I remembered something Steve asked me at Volkslauf and I guess I'd like to share it with my blog. Steve "Brock why are you wearing a scrunchie?!" Me "what? o this its a survival bracelet its basically a bunch of 550-paracord in bracelet form." So the deal with the bracelet other than me being a dork and thinking it is cool is that Survival Bracelets the company does this thing where you can buy care packages for soliders overseas and I decided to buy one for my buddy Nate who is in Afghanistan right now. When I bought his I came up with the idea of hey why don't I buy one also and wear it while he is on tour in Afghan, and then I can buy one for My Friends Father Scott who is deploying to Iraq in 3 weeks and then his son and my friend Derek who deploys sometime shortly after and wear them while they are on tour! so that's the deal with my "Scrunchie" for those of you who may notice it in the future!
Now time for the food! I really need to figure out my Sundays as my diet goes to hell mainly my eating times with a hockey game at like 12 and me waking up so early I end up with awkward gap and miss a meal and then it just throws me off for the rest of the day I feel but here's what I put down my pipe today. PS the awesome dinner was courtesy of my mom!
Breakfast - A family ordeal I made it for everyone! (though they dressed it up a bit by adding hashbrowns which I did not partake in). Eggs with onions, bell peppers and spinach, with a side of Avocado and salsa. Plus 2 of those tiny sausage links that I have lying around.
Awkward gap then Lunch: I made some garlicy herb chicken things and ate it with 1 1/2 zucchini's a wiki and some almonds.
then either due to my lunch being around 3 I didnt really eat till dinner but I did have a handfull of almonds and craisins to hold me over till then.
Dinner Crablegs, spinach salad with avocado and tomatoes from our yard! then some stringbeans and squash. Which leads me to a question are string beans legumes? I think I need to do a google search. Crap just did they are legumes so I guess I kinda botched the Paleo on this meal, but it was good! Pictures below!
