Kelly Kicked My Butt!

So my workout on Thursday was horrible. I was hoping to finish under 35 minutes, but I knew midway through that that was not going to happen. I changed my goal to 40 minutes, but I didn't make that either! :(

There are a few possible reasons why it went so badly.

1. I ate too much before class! I felt like I was going to puke the whole time and I could feel the pizza sitting in my stomach just waiting to come up. Thank goodness it didn't though!

2. I didn't have enough fruit. I normally eat some fruit during the day, but I'm trying to cut back because of the sugar in it. Maybe I didn't have the energy I normally do.

3. I suck at wall ball. Click on the link to see what wall ball is. The video shows them throwing to a 9 foot target, we throw to a 10 foot target. That combined with box jumps and running could've just been too much for my poor weak legs!

Last time I did Kelly was back in January. Instead of running we rowed 250 meters and I used a 16 inch box and a 10 lb. ball. On the box jumps I did mostly jumps the first thre rounds, then mostly step ups with a few jumps the last 2 rounds. My time was around 33 minutes.

Sweet Potato Muffins

After Nick tried the sweet potato pancakes last week, he mentioned that they would make a good muffin. So I found a pumpkin cranberry muffin recipe and substituted pureed sweet potato for the pumpkin and pecans for the cranberries. I also added a little cinnamon. They turned out pretty good, but next time I’ll add a little more cinnamon.

I’m so glad I’ve found some other things to eat for breakfast. I’m not a huge egg lover, but it’s such an easy paleo breakfast and I’m all about making it easy in the morning. My old standby was oatmeal, but that’s not going to work when eating paleo.

I'm proud of myself for trying something new! I'm such a recipe follower, but this time I changed it up a teeny tiny bit and it worked!

Paleo "Ice Cream"

One of my co workers had a birthday this past week which meant cake would be brought to celebrate. I didn't want to sit there with nothing while my friends ate cakes, so I decided I would give the Paleo "Ice Cream" from the CrossFit Katy Nutrition blog a try. I chopped up my bananas, through them in the freezer for a couple of hours, then chopped them up into teeny tiny bits in my Cuisinart. At first it looked like mini Dipping Dots, but the longer I let it chop, the creamier it became. Soon it looked like ice cream!

It still tastes like a banana, but in a totally different package. I made more today, but this time added some frozen strawberries. I can't wait to try it out!

Paleo Chili Cheese Dogs

I love hot dogs, especially grilled hot dogs. I love them even more with mustard, chili, and cheese, but hot dogs are out because of the bun and I’m not one to eat a hot dog without a bun. Fortunately for me I found the perfect recipe while I was checking out a blog I found called Health-Bent. The recipe uses sweet potato skins as the “buns” for hot dogs. I was skeptical at first, but after reading the recipe I saw that it had you making your own spicy chili to go over the dog. I knew then that I had to try it! The combination of spicy and sweet sounded really good! These hot dogs are obviously more work than regular chili cheese dogs with buns and canned chili, but it was worth it. I put three on my plate, but ended up only eating 2 ½. I can’t wait to have them again and now I also have a side for dinner tonight with the sweet potato that I scooped out of the skins! Yea!

Fat Guacamole Devils

Fat Guacamole Devils are hard boiled eggs filled with guacamole and mashed egg yolk. Kind of like deviled eggs, but filled with a guacamole/yolk mixture. The recipe can be found at Mark's Daily Apple.

I cheated a little bit and used premade guacamole I bought at the store. The Wholly Guacamole 100 calorie pack guacamoles are awesome, by the way. I used two hard boiled eggs. I mashed up the egg yolks from the 2 eggs and combined them with 1 pack from the 100 calorie Wholly Guacamole packs.

I tried the yolk/guacamole mix and it was good. I can't wait to have them for snack tomorrow!

Sweet Potato Pancakes

I've finally found a pancake recipe that I actually like! The Sweet Potato Pancakes from Health-Bent are great! Click on the link and just take a look at the picture!

I topped mine with a honey cream cheese topping that made them even yummier! The recipe says icing, but I like to call it a topping and I cut it in half, so I wouldn't have as much. :) Yes, this stays within my goals! :)

Train Right, Eat Right, Live Right Challenge- Days 4, 5, 6, and 7

The last few days have not been as easy as the first few! There have been so, so many temptations out there!

Thursday (Day 4) I was feeling pretty horrible. My stomach was hurting and I wasn't really hungry, but I still craved something sweet. We had a staff meeting after school that day and part of our meeting was to celebrate the fact that we were a recognized school. It hit me during the middle of the day that we were probably going to have cake at the celebration. I didn't know if I could resist. When we walked in and I saw the cake, I was relieved. It was chocolate cake with white and green icing. The icing was the type of icing that was not my favorite and to top it off it was green which was going to make it taste bad anyway! I was pretty relieved.

Unfortunately things did not get easier as the night went on. Nick had a staff meeting at his store so he wasn't going to be home until at least nine which left me to deal with the girlies alone. I figured instead of dealing with Kate flipping out while I made dinner I would just stop and pick something up so I could feed her and get her back in a good mood right away. It didn't work. She wouldn't eat, so she had this fit because she wanted down, but she didn't want her food to be thrown away, but she didn't want to sit in her chair and eat, so basically she didn't know what she wanted to she just cried. Finally after lots of crying she ate. All of the crying and craziness really made me want to eat some chocolate, but I didn't!

Friday (Day 5) I spent most of the day with a headache. Sugar withdrawl maybe? My cravings were pretty crazy. I could've eaten a whole cake! Speaking of cake, when I walked in the lounge for lunch there was the leftover cake sitting there waiting for me to eat, but I didn't because it still looked gross!

Saturday (Day 6) Again, I could've eaten a whole cake. I really wanted to, but I had nothing. That night Nick and I took the girls to the Katy Rice Harvest Festival. Fried twinkies, fried oreos, corn dogs, pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, funnel cakes, ice cream, cotton candy! I had to go to three different booths before I finally found someone that had a sausage on a stick.

Sunday (Day 7) I made the coconut flour pancakes, but of course Maddie didn't like them, so instead of making her something different I just threw some chocolate chips in her batter. I did not eat a single chocolate chip! My mom and I took the girls back to the festival and they were giving away free ice cream! I didn't have any. It helped the Maddie and my mom didn't want any either, so that was good. I craved Coke today. A sugary, sweet Coke, but I didn't have any.
Tonight I'm going out to eat with Nick, but I can't think of any place to go that won't have something that I can't eat. I thought about Outback so I could have steak, but their bread is the best! I thought about the Black Eyed Pea, but they have amazing cornbread. I thought about Spring Creek BBQ, but I'm sure there is sugar in their sauce and I would really want to get baked beans, but I'm trying to stay away from beans. UGH...what to do?!

I hope my cravings calm down soon!

October 10, 2010

Food Log:
Breakfast- pancakes made using a recipe from one of my CrossFit buddy's blogs, which she got from a book written by Mark Sisson, called the Primal Blueprint Cookbook. I tried a few versions because I'm not a huge coconut lover and I could still taste the coconuty flavor. One of my favorite versions was when I mashed some blueberries and mixed them into the batter, then cooked the pancake. That helped hide the coconut flavor some.

Lunch- chicken on a stick at the Katy Rice Harvest Festival

Dinner- out somewhere with Nick

Parsnip Fries

Tonight we had hamburgers and with hamburgers I have to have french fries. I remembered a friend making parsnip fries, so I decided to give it a try. I've only had parsnips once, so I wasn't sure how they would taste, but they turned out super yummy.

I used the website I found here. One recipe I read said to remove the core, but another recipe I read said it wasn't that big of a deal, so I left the core since I was short on time (and I don't know how to remove it).

I liked the smaller pieces better and the ones that were a little more done (almost burnt). The core was a little too woody tasting to me, so next time I'll try to core them some how!

Challenge- Day 3

Another good day, except I almost ate a Sweet Tart without even thinking about it. Nick offered me one, so I took it. I put it in my mouth, closed my mouth, and then it hit me. I yelled out "sugar!" and I quickly spit it out and threw it out the window! Nick thought it was hilarious!

I did have a few moments at the grocery store where I really wanted to grab a piece of cake or check out the bread cart, but I didn't!

So far, so good!

Challenge- Day 2

Day 2 of the challenge was a good day.

I wasn't tempted by anything like I was yesteray. I did have instant mashed potatoes and those aren't okay with the Paleo diet, but I'm still meeting the two main goals I set for myself- no grains, no sugar.

Hopefully my willpower continues!

Challenge- Day 1

Today was Day 1 of the Eat Right, Train Right, Live Right Challenge. It officially started Saturday, but I gave myself Saturday to indulge in a few treats...okay, I actually indulged the entire weekend with pizza, cupcakes, philly cheesesteak, cake, mexican food, and more cake! I was so ready to clean things up today!

I posted before about my biggest challenge being getting lazy and ordering pizza when tired instead of making dinner. Well, tonight I faced another challenge.

Nick is out of town tonight, so it's just me and the girlies. Today we went to the gym right after school, then to the park for a bit. When we got home our neighbors were out so we visited with them for a bit. Once we came in Kate started throwing a fit. Crying, whining, begging for chocolate milk, yogurt, hot dogs, blah blah blah. Even after getting her milk she was still not happy and when she's not happy she gets loud. She doesn't care that I have yuckiness all over my hands from meat or that I'm in the middle of making dinner, she wants what she wants and she wants it now! And if she doesn't get it, she screams, whines, cries. It's so annoying! And this happens just about every night while I make dinner.

I realized tonight when I opened the pantry and saw an unopened bag of chocolate chips, that one way I cope with her craziness in the evenings is to eat something sweet! It just makes me feel better. I thought about opening them for half a second, but resisted. Then I opened the freezer and saw leftover ice cream from Maddie's party and wanted some of that. I also saw some frozen cake that I thought about pulling out, but I resisted. Now I know that when I'm really tired or in a bad mood I want something sweet! Hopefully I can get over that or maybe I'll just stick a few grapes in my mouth and call it good.

My goals for the first 2 weeks of the challenge (10/4-10/17):
1. No grains.
2. No sugar (cake, cookies, donuts, brownies, ice cream, etc.)
3. No milk.
4. Workout 5-6 times a week.
5. Sleep 8 hours a night.

After the first 2 weeks, I plan to give myself a cheat day (10/18) to have some pizza and a cupcake or something like that!

Then back on the wagon for 12 days. I have a cake to make for Halloween and I sure can't bake a cake and not have any!

Yummy Recipe

The other night I made a super duper yummy meal. It was a combination of two recipes I found here (CrossFit Katy Nutrition Blog) and here (Mark's Daily Apple).

I loved the sound of the Paleo Chicken Enchiladas, but I was too thrilled with it going on top of cauliflower rice because I don't have a chopper thingy and I wasn't about to spend my time chopping up cauliflower in to rice sized pieces. I also loved the sound of the Poblano Chicken with Verde Sauce, but I really wanted to combine the two instead of making the Verde Sauce.

I love to get chile rellenos when we eat out at a mexican food restaurant, so I was excited to try and make them for myself.

I made the sauce for the Paleo Enchiladas, then started on the chicken. Instead of boiling the chicken and then shredding it, I just used canned chicken. Then I roasted the poblano peppers until they were black and then pealed the black skin off. I cut open the tops and put a little monterey jack cheese down, then the chicken enchilada mixture, then a little more cheese. I covered them with some sauce and baked them for about 25 minutes.

They were super duper yummy. One of the best meals I've made in a long time, but I'm a huge poblano pepper fan, so that may have something to do with it.

When Nick saw what we were eating, he immediately asked if I would be offended if he didn't eat one. I said no, but then I started thinking about it and yes, I was offeneded! This took me a long time to make! He heard the word pepper and immediatly thought of a bell pepper, which he doesn't like. I finally convinced him that this wasn't going to tasted anything like that, so he gave in and tried one. He actually said it was good!

Unfortunately they were too spicy for the girls, so I had to make something different for them, but that just meant I had leftovers to take to school!

October 2, 2010- Train Right, Eat Right, Live Right Challenge

Today begins CrossFit Katy's Eat Right, Train Right, Live Right Challenge! The next 2 months I will be trying my best to Eat Right, Train Right, and hopefully Live Right! That means no grains, no sugar, no milk, lots of meat, lots of veggies, some fruits, some nuts, and lots of exercise.

We started off our Challenge this morning with a nutrition seminar. 2 of our wonderful trainers talked to us about the benefits of cutting grains, sugar, and dairy. I was pretty well informed going into the seminar, but I still learned a lot. Especially how to tell people why those things are bad for you (I'll post more about that later)!

After the talk we had our challenge workout which we will repeat in 2 months to see how we improve.

The WOD was
500 meter row
40 air squats
30 anchored sit ups
20 lateral burpees
30 anchored sit ups
40 air squats
500 meter row

Time- 11:00

Tonight I'm going to take a look at the things we have in our pantry and I'm going to get rid of some things that I don't think we need. Tomorrow I'm going to plan out our meals for the week and then go grocery shopping for lots of healthy foods!

I knew the challenge was coming up so last week I forced myself to get back in the routine of making dinner every night, and I did until last night. Last night we had pizza since I knew I would be starting the challenge soon and today I had cupcakes. Some of the best cupcakes ever, but that's a post in itself!

I'm fortunate that the train right part is not a challenge for me because I LOVE Crossfit and working out in general. I'm pretty set there. My biggest concern is the Eat Right. I have my days when I'm tired and I get lazy so we order a super yummy pizza from Palio's. That's going to be the hardest thing for me right there.

I'm actually looking forward to eating healthy and feeling the differences healthy food makes! I'm about cupcaked out, so it's perfect timing.

Wish me luck!
