Where was I?

Tuesday - Got my daughter off to school and then did my first workout prior to breakfast it went like this:

10 sets:
1 min skipping easy
1 min (30 sec R bridge/30 sec L bridge)
1 min - 6 point burpees
(keep all @ easy pace)

So a half hour of "easy" cardio.

Breakfast: egg scramble - no I never get sick of this!

Workout number 2:
3 rounds for time:
15 Dead Lift -135#
15 Ring Dips
20 Box Jumps - 20"

Did this in 5:38. So this would equate to a lift heavy things workout that you could easily modify with either single leg dumbbell deadlifts which i will show you, dips on a table or chair or box jumps to anything you feel comfortable jumping up onto and back down. By doing it for "time" it forces you to keep moving as "fast" as you can and therefore incorporates a cardio component into the lift heavy things component - it's brilliant!!

Lunch - shrimp cold with homemade cocktail sauce (ketchup and horseradish and lemon) roasted red peppers, carrots, acorn squash

Dinner - turkey pepperoni, and some veggies when I got home from the talk. Wasn't really that hungry

Wednesday

Breakfast: 3 eggs scrambled with salsa, 5 macademia nuts, handful of coconut flakes

Workout: for time
50 HSPU (handstand pushups)
100 pistols (one legged squats)
150 sit ups
200 double unders
time 28:38

handstand pushups are one of my huge weaknesses and especially because I am heavier than normal it just adds that much more weight to lift - yuck! One legged squats are very challenging as well but you can do a modified version and they will definitely contribute to developing a great looking ass.

My legs and butt are absolutely fried right now and I have to go play two hours of competitive volleyball tonight, should be interesting.

Lunch: bison sausage, onions, acorn squash, curried roasted cauliflower and rutabega.

As you can see I am trying to increase my carb intake and adding root veggies and squash.

The curried roasted cauliflower and rutabega was really good and super easy to make.

1 head of organic cauliflower one or two rutabegas
generous portion of avocado oil (or whatever oil you would like)
generous portion of curry powder
salt and pepper to taste

Directions: preheat oven to 450
1. Cut cauliflower into equalish florets, and peel and quarter rutabega
2. Coat them with avocado oil
3. Place on cookie sheet lined with foil
4. Spinkle with curry powder, and salt and pepper
5. Cover with another piece of foil
6. Cook covered at 450 for about 15 minutes
7. Uncover and cook for another 15-20 minutes turning them after 8 or so minutes

Yummmy.

Dinner: Went straight from work to volleyball so ate some beef jerky, an apple and some carrots on my way there. After the team always goes for beers and I hadn't seen many of these people for a long time so I joined them. I drank water and had a chicken salad for my "second" dinner as I was completely starving. It was delicious but I am sure not the most paleo friendly but did the best I could it was Boston Pizza after all.

My legs are now officially killing me and I hope that I will be able to walk tomorrow. See even "fit" people get sore!
