Temptation...

I just finished putting my daughter's birthday cake into the oven. Baking is definitely a trigger for me. Normally, I 'taste' everything both before and after it's done (I much prefer the unbaked version of most things, so how much of it actually makes it into the oven sometimes is questionable!). I am not quite hardcore enough to force 10-year-old girls to eat paleo-friendly cake, so regular from-scratch devil's food it is! I am very happy to say that not one bit made it into my mouth! I credit the challenge with that as I know I would have succumbed normally (yes, I am WEAK! :)). Now just to stay away from the frosting (!) and the finished cake. I'm feeling pretty committed, so I think it will go well. I keep telling myself that the party will be over and I will or will not have eaten any cake - in which position do I want to be?

Breakfast:

2 boiled eggs
chicken breast
1/2 avocado

Lunch:

mixed vegetable salad with vinaigrette
chicken breast
a few pieces of chicken wiener (organic & paleo-friendly!)

Snack:

leftover salad from lunch
chicken wiener

Dinner:

chicken breast
spinach salad w/ pancetta, boiled egg, mushrooms, tomatoes, vinaigrette
mashed cauliflower

CrossFit:

500 m row x 4

This is, hands down, my most hated (feared?) WOD. Last time I did it, I was sick all day. This time I feel better, but still had to miss a couple of strokes in round 3 because I thought I was going to pass out & fall off! :)

The idea was to keep all rows within a second of each other (ideally). I went too hard on the first one - should have tried for around the 1:55 mark. Next time, I will try to do this & then I probably won't feel so trashed by the third & fourth sprints.

Times:

1:49.3, 1:59.8, 2:08.8, 2:06.0

PR is 148.3. I could have probably at least matched it on the first row, but was still kind of trying to not completely go 'all out'. Bad strategy - either go 'all out' or try to keep them consistent.
