I was scared about eating non-paleo friendly, but I decided that on long run days, I can be more free

Exercise:
10 mile run at Campbell park. Originally I wanted to do 14 but I even had had to walk some of the 10 because it was sooo hot today. I was dying. I did my best today though.

Weigh-in: 155.8 - ughh still stuck at this number.. but at least my face looks less swollen. Even keunkkokko said so. Going to try and cut out all dairy.. maybe add in later. but I guess for 30 days let's try..

Intake:
Coconut milk curry chicken that kkokko made
1/2 cup almond milk
spaghetti sauce with meat.. about 2/3 cup? (keunkkokko was making it for grandparents)
After workout - more curry chicken and some chicken breast that joy brought home
At church - meat spaghetti sauce ( I guess it's spaghetti day today?)
Strawberries and lots of orange slices

Exercise:
Insanity Power and Resistance workout (40min)

Weigh in: 155.8

Hmmph. It's been the same for the past two days and I felt like I've been eating quite little lately... maybe my calories were too low and body going into shock/starvation mode? I've been eating enough to not feel hungry though. We shall see as time goes on.

Intake:

• 1 strawberry & 1 peach Oikos greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup Silk Vanilla almond milk -- I should've gotten plain... I normally don't say things are too sweet, but this was too sweet. Egh. And plain almond milk is prob more paleo friendly anyhow..
• The physicist at the heart clinic treates us out to Omagari.. I ordered the spicy chicken bulgogi and asked for salad instead of rice. Ate the banchan too. Not too bad right?
• Then came home and I was suuper craving something sweet. Darn Korean food!! I couldn't help but indulge in 2 more greek yogurts... T_T
• And this is going to sound like a lot of eating out, but we had plans with a friend for dinner. We went to a Mediterranean place. I ordered the Shewarma Chicken salad. No carbs in there, but the garlic yogurt dressing was prob not the best idea. I also sampled the sampler thing you eat with pita that Joy and Leo ate with the unlimited pita bread.. Ahh I really wanted to eat that bbang, but I resisted.
• 1 low sugar iced green tea from Verde (I asked for unsweetened, but it came out half sugar... but it wasn't that sweet so I think it wasn't tooo bad)
• Then after working out I came home and ate a strawberry greek yogurt for recovery. I really should get some low carb protein shake or something.

Workout:
Insanity Asylum speed & agility workout (45min). Like most of my insanity workouts, I was dying. But I held my own fairly well and made it through the entire workout without taking many breaks.

Tomorrow will be better. I will eat the food that kkokko brought. Hopefully we'll also go grocery shopping soon too. Must cut back on my yogurt/dairy

Back to journaling my food again...

I got back from a week vacation in Korea on Sunday. I was nervous about getting tremendous weight because I wouldn't be able to exercise and I ate freely. To my surprise, I only gained about 2-3 lbs from what I was around before I left. I guess it helped that we did walk a fair amount. I think it's because even though I work out hard at home, for the most part, I'm not moving much.

So.. weight on Monday was: 157.0

Today's weight: 155.8

Kkokko's introduced me to the Paleo diet, and told me to give it a try since it worked for her for the time she tried it. Since carbs seem to be my biggest enemy, I'm going to try paleo, it's similar to Dukan, with a few differences here and there, but it seems like there are some good health benefits from it. I might have to do a pseudo-paleo kind of diet though, because I really do love dairy and I may go crazy if I don't have my yogurt at least once in a while haha..

My biggest loser type of weight loss challenge ends in July. If I can lose the most, I could definitely win some nice cash monies. But even if I don't, I'll be satisfied with a thinner me. So let's dooo thiss.


Yesterday's intake:
Vegetable soup with meatballs that kkokko made
Little bit of yogurtland with fruits (I know..., but I don't eat very much so I thought it'd be ok)
Reason for such little intake is that I unintentionally woke up at 4:30 pm haha...
I was good at not snacking on the snacks at GT though.

Exercise:
Just the cardio recovery Insanity workout. I was pretty sore from judo on Monday and body didn't feel energized enough to do all that jumping

Today's intake:
Salad that kkokko made with balsamic vinegar
About 3/4 cup of soup kkokko made, because
Then the rest about 1.5? cups of soup after workout
1 container Vita Coco Coconut water
1 oikos strawberry greek yogurt

I even made ham and cheese dinner roll sandwiches for Mark Study, but didn't eat any.

Exercise:
Insanity Plyometric Cardio Circuit workout
