Move away from the carbs....

I like to eat - a lot. As in a lot of food at one time. I like to feel really full. I usually accomplish this paleo-style by filling up on a lot of raw veggies - cauliflower, baby carrots, zucchini. The thing is, though, that I eat beyond what I need and just because something is paleo-friendly doesn't mean it's a licence to eat for the sake of eating. I think I actually end up eating a lot of carbs this way - especially with baby carrots. My focus is going to be adding more good fats to my meals. I eat lots of protein, so I'm not worried about tweaking this too much right now.

Definitely noticed the lower carb intake today - really, really hungry in late afternoon, like wanting to chew my arm off hungry. Now, a few hours after supper, though, I am feeling good.

Breakfast:

1 boiled egg
1 slice paleo bread (recipe from www.elanaspantry.com)
almond butter
apple

Lunch:

turkey breast
broccoli & cauliflower soup
1/2 avocado
zucchini

Snack:

turkey breast
mixed nuts
cauliflower

Dinner:

broccoli & cauliflower soup
bacon & avocado omelette

CrossFit:

Today is a hopper WOD. Every class will be different, so I won't be giving anything away:

5 rounds:
5 HSPU
20 toes to bar
10 ring dips
40 squats

20 minute time cap. Finished 2 rounds + 30 reps. HSPU's with 2 ab mats, ring dips unassisted (these took a long time, but wanted to focus on them). Toes to bar sucked!
