Hunger

So I'm on this Paleo diet thing and I am hungry. I just ate a mix of zuchinni, eggplant, onions and spam. Does spam count as protein? I know the cavemen couldn't hunt for the wild spam beast but they ate the same parts that spam comes from. I actually don't know if this is a Paleo legal meat like substance but damn it I can't just eat vegetables tonight.

I am hungry. My hunger is so great if I was a zombie I wouldn't be walking slowly towards you, I would be running like a freaking track star and would jump on your back from twenty feet away. You get it?

I AM HUNGRY. I feel like killing a cow and pouring hot sauce on it. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Oh yeah, I worked out tonight too. Run 400 meters then come back and power clean as much as you can, all within 3 minutes. You get to rest for a minute and a half then do it all over again. Then again. Yes, three rounds. I power cleaned about 95 pounds, that's 25 pounds on each side of a 45 pound bar. Not bad.

That and I wasn't as tired tonight. It's beginning to suck less folks. It's still hard but not as hard. Gotta keep pushing though. I was watching guys power clean hundreds of pounds on youtube and was wondering if I'd ever get to that point. At least I beat Kenna the high school wrestler while during the 400 meter runs tonight, that's something. Did I mention Kenna's a girl? I'll take any win I can right now.

Hey, tomorrow is MMA day. Wish me luck. PEACE.

12:36

That's how long it took to do a strange combination of lunges, pullups and situps tonight. The rep count was 18, 15, 12, 9, 6, and 3 for the pullups and situps BUT, you also had to do 20 lunges to start off each round. And the lunge count stayed the same, always 20.

The lunges were tough but my legs weren't totally exhausted. In fact I jumped out ahead of the pack in the beginning. I started to fall behind because I couldn't rep out those pullups though. But that crazy swinging technique is starting to get easier. Hopefully I'll be able to crank out 20 at a time at some point like the other guys.

It's getting better guys. Definitely. I also started the Paleo diet yesterday on November 1st. It's only day 2 and it's not bad so far. The worst part for me is just being paranoid about everything I'm eating. I'm constantly reading labels and looking for sugar. I was at iHop (wait, before you start saying it isn't healthy) and ordered the healthy omlet with spinich and mushrooms and grilled chicken and no cheese. There's too much sugar in ketchup for me to use but thank God for salsa. In fact I think salsa is my new friend. And tabasco. Freaking using tabasco on everything now.

And I don't miss drinking milk but damn, I never realized how much cheese is in everything. Even on some of the salads that I wanted to order. So far so good though. As usual, I'll keep you posted.
