6.14.11 Paleo Cleanse Week

Been awhile since my ast post, quick trip to London set me back.  If in London stop by CrossFit Central London nice community and good coaches.  CrossFit does prepare you for the unknown as I was able to pull off two dead hang pull-ups from the rafter wall of a 500 year old English Country manor house + 2 Burpees without splitting my dress.   However I did remove my hat for the exercises.

This week I am doing a 7-day Paleo Cleanse through Baltimore Health Coach, so I thought I would share my experiences.  So far so good, but I did stop drinking my standard double espresso last week so the caffeine craving/yearning is abated, last week was a different story.  My goal is to eat clean, no grabbing a handful of nuts/seeds and eating too much almond butter, yes all a good source of fat & protein but not if you over indulge.  No glass of wine or beer at the end of the day and to do more with vegetables.

I have found that ground flax seed & chia seeds make a nice addition to a smoothy or in almond milk with some carob powder. Carob will never replace my love for pure dark bittersweet chocolate but for a week it will do.  The is discipline and as I have said before Mind Over Matter.  Photos of yesterdays lunch-dinner & breakfast this morning.  Not bad, not bad indeed.
