Eating Well Starts Now

a 60 day challenge has began. I will be posting a weekly blog entry on http://crossfitpie.blogspot.com/ where you can leave your food diary and questions in the comments section. What I would like people to do is make a decision on what diet is going to be right for you and then stick with it with 60 days. Obviously the whole 30 is the most elite level and the diet I would recommend. The basic premise is eat meats, fish, nuts, seeds and fruits and vegtables. No grain, no rice and no calorie drinks. It is also very important to not be putting back diet drinks. Thought they might have zero calories, they do not have zero effect on our body and fat storage. Diet drinks are only about half better for you than the real ones. I personally find I still retain a lot of water when I am drinking diet pop and it also leads to a huge sugar craving when you are drinking it.

For me personally I am going to go Paleo w/t small amounts of cheese, no milk, small amounts of sauces for meats, soup with vegtables and meats, peanut butter, some salted nuts, elevate me bars + lara bars and protein powder (not often but if I don't have food at work I will have one) w/t one cheat meal on Sunday if wanted. I am also going to make more of an effort to have leaner meats than I have before.

Personally I doing this challenge to jump start my CrossFit again and get myself in shape for CrossFit Taranis's Winter Challenge in November. I want to compete individually and on a team.


Monday WOD: 
A1. Back Squat 5x8
A2. Split Jerk from behind the neck
* You will use the racks. The weight on the bar will be the same for both lifts. As soon as you finish the back squat you will set up and try for the Jerk. Make sure the Jerk is properly warmed up before you attempt a set. This will be a new motion for most of you.
