Some of that body-imbalance weight (probably water) is gone overnight--won't be seeing that kind of thing again for eight weeks or more! Praise God for that. I don't regret Saturday or Sunday though. Not yet, anyway. I seem to be recovering well from yesterday's killer WOD, although I ache profusely. My lower abdominal girdle is a wreck. I don't think I'm injured but it feels horribly weak--looks like a growth area. I wish Wednesday was not tomorrow. ;)
I was reading in The Paleo Cookbook yesterday about the Paleo diet and I gotta say, there are limits, folks. hahaha Still, I noticed their recommendations on consumption of nuts and dried fruits. For people looking to lose weight, which I am, they say to limit their use. Luckily I think I can do that. I don't do more than one serving of dried fruit a day (which is a paltry tablespoon as it is!) and all I have to do is be more aware of just how many nut products or nuts I am eating--and in the process, integrate additional fat sources into my diet. Today, for example, I had fry for breakfast and used butter instead of chopped nuts. I've also discovered that grapes have an awful lot of sugar in them compared to most other fruit choices I'd make, so if I eat them, it'll be for recovery snacks. Too bad--they're awfully convenient because they're not messy.
For my readers': I count greek yogurt as two protein and one carb instead of one-and-one, because the protein content of greek yogurt is very high. I plan to restrict greek yogurt consumption to recovery snacks or in-a-pinch breakfasts, with no more than one serving a day. I think I will publish my fry mix recipie on this blog as well, once I've refined it. It's a great way to get carb variety without feeling like you have to eat a massive pile of broccoli or trough of raw spinach each day. The recipie itself isn't as useful as the concept, I think.
