Annoying day, sick and primal challenges

Franken-Paleo

opening whinge

The ‘fitness girl’ I sit opposite to at work asked me what I had for dinner, I said Caesar salad* – she: "OMG that is so fattening”, then proceeded to go on and one about how I should watch out for my “bad fat levels” … me: "give me a break" (in head), me: "oh that is so interesting" (in voice).

morning sickness hit me

Every type of protein has sent me over the edge today. Even thinking about what to eat for lunch was too much. I vomited a bit in my mouth at the thought of a can of tuna or meat anything. I forgot to pack my lunch so unless the protein was free range organic (anything else is so disgusting to me right now) it was out.  Salad was out, as was anything else pre-prepared. I thought I could do a veg stir-fry (extra stir-fried) but I couldn’t enter the food court without some serious hurl-worries.  

Instead I headed to the heath food shop for ingredients for an organic cheese and tomato toasted sandwich on Franken-paleo ‘bread’ and a handful of strawberries. Don’t hate me, but it was bloody awesome.

predicament

There is running in the WOD tonight, my ( Y ) are…emm.. too sizable to run. Do I fess up and say that? Just run and get over myself, black eyes and all, or suggest a ‘I am + you know” scale’?

Jxx

*Caesar salad was with baby coz lettuce, BBQ-ed organic free range chick breast & free range organic bacon and homemade dressing (6 anchovies, 1tbsp organic sour cream, 1 juice of lemon, more oil than lemon, and organic parmesan to taste)

PS ‘my way of paleo’ is templated on primal, before you get your preach on. So the usual meat, veg, little starch, nuts and seeds... and well sourced, happy, organic dairy, and as it seems a bit of franken-paleo and too much fruit. I don’t care what you say, vomit on my laptop is more annoying than your judgement. And my leaky gut (I don't have this I just love the term) can be thankful I don't eat peanut butter on turkish break every day like I used to. 

PPS wish me luck to my first session back at CrossFit in 2 months later today and yes, just quietly I am … very nervous!

Back again

Really I should just template these blog entries and name them all ‘back again’, with the content being some ridiculously weak excuse as to why I haven’t blogged in a while. Closed with a promise to self that I will blog more often in the future! Luckily I only have 2 blog readers (me to proof read and my hubbie to gain insight to my moods) so no harm done and no-one upset.

cue lame excuse

2 months away from this page and a little bit has happened. I am growing some cells (in a good way). I made eyelids this week. Yes I am with child, have a bun in said oven, bang up, up the duff. 

Shhhh though I haven’t told work yet. 

7 weeks 3 days of child making. A little early I know for a traditional announcement, but heck all the people we love are in the know now so whatever. 

I suggest you click away now if you are not interested in a cell growing flavoured paleo, crossfit, general musings blog.

eat

After 8 weeks of mostly paleo eating but with the very naughty inclusion of hot chips and mayonnaise, vinegar salt crisps, chocolate thick shakes, and various other chocolate and random baddie indulgences, I have come to my senses and am back to my strict ways with slightly more podge than I probably should have. 

My strict ways will be paleo version: ‘My Way’: so with a few Franken-paleo treats added for longevity and morning sickness weakness.

move

My recent workouts have been a lot of walking, my version of MovNat. In my flip flops (thongs). I refused to accept walking is a sport and as such needs sports clothes to endeavour, resulting in sore knees and toes.

Bitch Personality Breakthrough  

I will never judge anyone again for ‘just walking’ and will never think to myself "call that a workout?” as sometimes there is a bloody great reason for walking as a workout.

I go back to CrossFit tomorrow. I will be testing CrossFit’s ‘scalable’ feature that’s for sure. No running (for non-black eye reasons). No box jumps (as too uncoordinated to risk the cell’s head squashed by a corner of the box, RX or otherwise), no burpees (for obvious reasons: they suck!) and not anything so scarily hard that I can’t talk whilst doing. Basically the walking version of CrossFit.  

and cue promise to self

Anyway, promise to self, I will be updating more after my crap attempts in the past.

Fruit Explosion

I am confused. Ok not confused. I get it. Fruit is actually sugar (but pretty and in guise of Natural Goodnesss). Sugar is bad. I was supposed to have given up sugar. Oops I haven’t. So yes, not confused. Just cheating. Everyday. Major #faileo.

I have spent most of this week “researching” various blogs (Robb et al), health programs and downloading lovely eBooks. All paleo (or close variants of), all no sugar, and all rather prescriptive on the rule no fruit. Well mostly. If you have weight issues, inflammation issues, fertility issues holding off back on the fruit is kind of preferred. Read more here if you think I am full of it.

Conclusion: I am unable to find a program specifically designed to allow me to have many serves of fruit per day. I tell myself I am allowed fruit leniency as I am giving up warm hugs of dough (you may call these hugs muffins, peanut butter and honey toast, ham & cheese croissants and the like). In actual fact it seems I am a sugarslut and am very much addicted.

Confession: I had a coconut chocolate bar this week (rationale: it mentioned it cocoa percentage in its name and it had coconut in it). I have also consumed mango, nectarine, grapes and cherries. There is more but I don’t want to scare you. Again, my rational is equally as screwed: the fruit was seasonal and locally grown (who cares), and summer is not here for much longer, so I simply must. Eat. The. Fruits.  

End of argument. As you may notice I didn’t put much thought into these excuses. A true addict at work. I did because I could. That is all.  

Sugar is my weakness. Who knows it might even be as evil as ‘they’ say and be the reason I am able to pinch a jigglely fat bit on my waist when I jab my pesky IVF meds daily.

So with all that in mind, here is a bit of an update to my “Make Me a Better Person <& make a baby>’ Mission

Preparation

• Eat all the fruit in fridge as wastefulness is as naughty as piggyness?

Stage 1

• Stop eating fruit.

End of mission.

Goal

Svelteness of the body, which will make it extremely hard to find a jigglely fat bit to pop the IVF med into.

Pros

The usual, look & feel better. Blah blah.

Cons 

Maybe have to go junky mode with IVF meds and just jab any old place. In between toes anyone?

I will let you know how I go.

day one (again)

I have been here before. Many times. I am in fact the queen of ‘beginning stuff and don’t follow through’. Except this time is unique.

I am on day one of a paleo strictness thing. Partly for health (as this is just the best way for me, and everyone else, to eat actually) but also to make babies. I am a few jabs into IVF and am hoping a non-inflammation supremely elite eating program will assist with creating an uber-inviting environment for a little cell division. 

They (being Robb, Mark and #whole9life and what not) say this is the best thing ever and I tend to agree having followed these eating templates for some time. It also seems a shame not to try everything in my arsenal to encourage success. What is the worth of a few evening biscuits anyway? Certainly not a continuation of fat and barren.

I will now enter clean eating phase one: hungry as a horse with only meat and vege to satiate, spending the next few days yearning for chocolate and sticky baked badness. This is always the case for me after 2 weeks of pure indulgence, I tend to have uncontrollable hunger and slight food obsessiveness. 

I gave it a good dash the last few days (weeks, who's judging), my primary excusing being “maybe this is the last muffin I will eat in 10 months…” 10 months = 1 month IVF plus 9 months baby incubation. 

This program (way of life, whatever) gets easier. With a little help from my beloved friend intermittent fasting, I will calm down the hungry horse in a few days.

My Eat Rules

(I respond well to rules, I know this is not everyone’s cup of tea though)

Eat Paleo (you know: meat, vege, fruit, nuts, seeds, little starch)

Eat Deviations

(slight changes in rules to encourage longevity and success)

• fruit - phase one 2 serves per day, until I get less hungry and will then cut down to one serve per day
• no nuts - I am uncontrollable regarding portion size so no nuts for me. Ever
• meat - happy (free range), healthy (organic) grass fed and finished meat only
• eggs -  happy (free range), healthy (organic)
• no paleo treats. They are simply not paleo
• little yogurt/ cheese - raw, organic, free range, dairy

My Move Program

(This is a little tedious and uninspired as no CrossFit is allowed until the IVF cycle is completed. (They say “until a heartbeat” but that is crazy optimistic talk, so I will just go with no CrossFit for “a little while”). 

So with that in mind here is the updated Move Program

• walk home from work most days (5km or 40mins ish)
• soft sand beach (fast walk a few times a week)
• steep stairs walk (alternating with the above a few times a week)
• ocean swim (once a week)
• bench dips and push ups (daily to failure but only to capacity that will allow for a casual chat whilst performing said movements)

Inspiring right? Oh well I am in to it and on to it.

Anyway, I am excited, and am looking forward to a month of eating clean and moving sans bending over and cortisol rushing. #Bring it.

Footnote of Retrospectiveness

(this is the section I will reflect on one of my historical initiatives for self improvement). I am full of self life enhancers and personal rules.

• say yes to things
• follow through with things I said yes to, with actually doing the yes thing.

Banana and Berry Muffins

Here is the recipe to my new favorite paleo goodness treat - Banana and Berry Muffins

Thanks to The Civilized Caveman for the recipe. Check out his site, he cooks goodness galore.

I am more into making this in a mini loaf tin so I can slice it)

Stuff in it

• 3 Free Range eggs
• 1.5 Tbsp Honey (or same amount in dextrose for less insulin load)
• 2 Tbsp Coconut Oil (I melted the oil so it didn't make lumps in my batter of love)
• 2 Tbsp Coconut Milk
• 1/4 Tsp Salt
• 1/4 Tsp Vanilla
• 1/4 Tsp Baking Powder
• 1/4 Cup Coconut Flour
• 1 Banana (mashed up)
• 1/2 Cup Whole berries (I used frozen mixed berries and bashed them a bit to make smaller)

Make it

1. Preheat oven to 180 Degrees C
2. Mix together eggs, honey, coconut oil, coconut milk, salt and vanilla
3. Sift together baking powder and coconut flour and combine with your wet ingredients
4. Mix your batter well and then fold in banana and berries and mix until combined well
5. Divide batter into 6 Muffin tins or put in 1 mini loaf container and bake for 20 minutes, or until you test with a test thing and it doesn’t stick, if you know what I mean.
6. Enjoy and don't eat the whole batch in one go. 

Damage control

^ that is the total nutritional value for the batch, so per muffin divide by how many you make. Do your maths and see if you can ‘afford’ the treat I suppose.  

Let me know what you think  xx

Week 3 – review

A few words come to mind when referring to week 3 of paleo: frustrating. annoying. wasteoftime.

Frustrating and annoying derangement

I received my results from a hormone check I had before I started the paleo challenge. Ok I actually have had my results for a while, I have just been confused by them. I am not going to go into too much detail here, you know - too much information and care factor=zero and all that, let’s just say I am now googling terms like insulin resistance and hormone elevations and derangement.

After many online searches and the resulting self-diagnosis, I am stating to you I am no longer on a ‘30 day paleo challenge’. I am now on a ‘paleo for the rest of my life challenge’. Fun times.

Weight loss will be a challenge for me, evidently I lost and gained 100 grams this week. But I am pretty smart (and by that I mean, I am good on the interwebs and google searches) so I will work out a way to drop my pesky pounds and maintain. 

I will even find out the best way to have a few very naughty and very occasional treats such as cheese and crackers, lemon tarts, beer, pizza and ham and cheese croissants. 

And maybe one day too I can feature as paleo testimonial porn and be no longer hormonally challenged. 

Wasteoftime

This week I had a bit of sads and woe is me’s. I ate a few too many paleo banana and berry muffins (I will post the recipe next post). I got carried away with salted macadamia nuts and started a national salted macadamia eating crisis among the paleo twitter community (well not really, I am not that well connected, but I may have been responsible for one or two paleo #faileo's). I ate feta. I ate a few paleo brownie slices (ok almost a whole batch). And I ate fruit fresh and dried. And I drank a few large strong latte coffees. With full cream milk.

I was out of control!!

I guessed now I am doing the ‘paleo for the rest of my life challenge’ thing, I could relax while I overcome my ‘I am not 100% perfect' moment (who would have thought?). What is a few grams of lactose and fructose between friends?

Doing it right? Last week I didn’t really care.

This week, well that is another matter. Back to it. Long blacks. No dairy. Minimum fruit and nuts (I know they are paleo – I am just a recovering nut addict). Good quality meats, fish, vege, lots of water and daily fish oil. I am permitting myself a few paleo treats. I will just try to make it not an every day (sometimes even twice a day) thing and only for specials.

Gosh look out friends. I am going to be so fun to be around. for. the. rest. of. my. life. 

Anyway, enough FML. Having self medicated my brain with information and indulged my self-sabotage with entire batches of paleo treats, I have this covered now. And next week is the new attitude.  

Next xx

Some stuff I read this week*

How to lose fat - awesome blog on fat loss 101 with bullet points and a bit of detail on hormone stuff for my nerd friends

Paleo Babies (no I am not with bun in oven) - interesting observations on paleo baby & plus cute comments when THE Robb Wolf posted a comment and everyone got star struck.

Paleo Pad thai - this has been added to my paleo cooking list for next weekend. I will post on how I go with it. I have a sneaky feeling that USA squash is different to our squash as our squash would make very little noodles. Oh well. 

Grains make us fat - science I love you. Take that grain lovers. Bamm! Science wins.

Twitter (missjflynn) - my favorite twitter stuff to stalk this week are search - #paleo #crossfit and #masterchef (I love being juxtaposed, if that is even a word).

Happy reading xxx

Week 2 (almost) complete

I am one day away from completing week 2. I feel bummed today. I don’t really know why. I guess because I may have set myself up for a bit of failure with all my fine-tuning rules. Here were my rules again:


This week I am not consuming the nuts. (ha ha sounds rude right). I will try not to have the paleo treats, chocolate and whatnot. I will have my fish oil.

I will try my hand at intermittent fasting to kerb the appetite and get a bit of calorie deficit in my life. This may be against the paleo philosophy to worry about calories, but heck I have a deadline and am currently eating that of a professional athlete training for the regionals, not a normal boring human tyring to lose fat cells.

I will aim for 3x (+) crossfit sessions, with 1x lung-airing run and 1x sprints. Sleep? Well. I am trying. Robb Wolf podcasts help a lot. No offence intended, but they make me have nice snoozy commutes to work, and I feel I am osmosis learning the paleo ways whilst I snore away. Efficiency is very crossfit you know.



Nuts, Yep I had them, not as much as week one, but I had a few moments in the world when I didn’t plan my meals properly and had to buy nuts before I had hunger rage. I am not too worried about the slip-up as they were ‘in case of emergency’ nuts, and really were the only natural thing to eat around me.

Observation - most people eat shit and even think their eating-shit is not shit. Case in point with Mr ‘low carb, no vege/fruit, no fat’ dude from work who is completely obsessed with my food habits and challenges me on a daily basis, ‘why are you eating that avocado? It will make you fat blah blah blah’. Meanwhile he is throwing down low fat yogurt and skim lattes with 3 equals and can barely lift the cup to his mouth as he is so emaciated having cannibalised his muscles. Em sorry I digress.

Paleo treats. I had them too. I am such a cup of tea and biscuit addict, I was in the high risk category of elevated cortisol meltdown at even the thought of no treat of some sort to end my day. I realise this now – Admit to self is the first step, I. AM. AN. ADDICT. Don’t judge.

Tea (black) and air is just not as satisfying.

I tried black tea and a grapefruit but for some strange reason that was revolting. Yeah I know who would have thought right.


So after stalking my #paleo twitter feed I found a swear word amazing brownie recipe I adapted to reduce sugar and hopefully not spike my insulin. I made a batch, ate a few, and threw out a few as to not eat anymore fews. I made another batch, gave most away to my coach at BODYM. I may have also eaten a few more fews and also a few lines of the dark chocolate, just to test out the smoothness. Other than that, all was well.


Recipe of love
(Thanks to Crossfitsouthphilly)
I have changed a little bit to add Australian ingredients for you.

- 140 grams high-quality dark chocolate (I used Lindt 80%)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (I used apple puree from canned fruit section in shops – check for no added anything)
- 1/2 cup high-quality cocoa powder
- 2 organic Omega-3 eggs
- 1 cup light agave nectar (I used ½ cup of glucose syrup – in baking section of shops)
- 1/2 cup almond meal
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
- Spray olive oil spray on an 8×8-inch square baking pan an line with baking paper.
- In one mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until lighter colour.
- Add the other liquid ingredients to this bowl.
- In a second mixing bowl, mix together dry ingredients.
- Place the 150g chocolate in a microwave. Don’t over-melt, and keep an eye on it.
- Pour melted chocolate into dry ingredients.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
- Mix together
- Pour into lined baking pan. Bang on the counter or table a few times to get air bubbles out.
- Bake in the centre of a preheated 180 degrees C oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the brownies are set.
- Don’t overcook. I removed them when they were firm to touch in the centre, as I think they cook a bit more when removed anyway.
- Cool on a wire rack.
- Get out anyway how. I am a bit crap at this, but allegedly you turn over with plate and wish for the best.

Intermittent fasting was a bit of a fail too. I managed to do alternate day intermittent fasting, but for every day was a stretch. For those not in the know, basically the go for IF (as *they call it) is to do 16 hours of fasting each day and 8 hours of eating. I try to do no eating after 8pm and then break the fast at around 11am, as women rules are a few hours more lenient. Disclaimer: don’t take my word as the proper rules, I could be getting it completely wrong and just be skipping my breakfast as I am too lazy to pack my eggs to work.
(*they=the elite)

Crossfit sessions and running – I did ok. Managed 2x crossfit sessions, and loved being there, and did 2x 4.5km runs, with improvements on my pace each time. I wagged 1x crossfit session as I was tired and thought I would try prioritising rest as per Mr Robb Wolf rules. Well that was my excuse and said excuse is possibly is more acceptable than I wanted to have a bath and watch TV on my lazy fatness.


This week I also read some killer articles, re-read Robb Wolf's The paleo solution, and am halfway through reading Mark Sisson's The Primal Blueprint. I will add links to some of the articles in a separate post if you are interested.

Week 3 focus
write more | eat less | sleep more | move more | stress less.


Anyways, another week, another few Kg (ok 1kg to be exact, whatever, who's counting), some more happiness (mostly). Bring it on xxx

Week 1 complete

Yep done 1 week. 

3 more to go, but in all honesty I will need more than 3 weeks to achieve anywhere close to a goal. So the latest is the paleo challenge continues until my budgers are visible and waving a jello-hello.  Seriously though - I think I cheated a bit this week and didn't get the results I wanted. I know it is only week one, but I want to try to get to the bottom of this self sabotage and get results.

Move/

I went to crossfit 3x, and did 1x 4.5km run and 5x steep hill run things (done badly but still done. Note to self: I need to stop training with one of Australia’s elite crossfitters as it plays havoc with my sense of achievement and progress).

I have noticed my rowing has improved. A baby step of progress but I don’t get gassed on a 1km anymore and want to cough up a lung. I have seen a 10-15sec improvement on the 500m. I will have to do a 1km this week maybe to baseline and track progress.

I am still breathing like a wheezing old dog (poor me) after running 400m or so. I didn’t realise this until a crossfit newbie said to me a few times during a particularly gruelling WOD ‘Come on Jose, you can do it’. Thanks I thought but worry about your own work love (see I am still not ‘that’ nice). When I said thanks to them after the WOD, they were ‘oh no problems, I thought you were going to die, you were breathing rather noisily’. Thanks for that. Not. Crap. I am noticeably an ex-smoker. 

I don’t know – did I really think I would get off lightly for 15 (+) years of smoking? Lung please be nice, I am sorry. Respect. ‘scuse me whilst I cry for a moment. Never again. Vomit.

Eat/

I did ok. No dairy. No grain. No other baddies. Much.

I had some slip ups: I ate more than one paleo brownie. I used glucose instead of agave so I didn’t have an insulin reaction. Is a no gluten, no fructose, no dairy cheat still a cheat? Yep. I hear it is. Whole9 say about not having Frankenstein paleo treats and losing the sugar habit and whatnot. I say I bloody tried and this was the least-bad treat I thought of.  

More confession: I also had some nut slice thing made with coconut oil, nuts, almond meal and other stuff. These babies were bad (as in paleo bad). They had heaps of nuts and a few tablespoons of honey. Hello omega-6 imbalance and insulin triggerness. 

So along with those two badies, I also had a lot of nuts as you know. Oh and 2 rows of 70% dark chocolate (with nuts for extra measure). International fat sign. 

Live/

I still am obsessing about food and I think my appetite surpasses my partners (he is a 20kg bigger than me). Safe to say my body hasn’t converted to running on fat yet. 

Results - I have more energy. I am still a bit allergic to the world and still have rashie eyebrows (hot). I am less cryie, and tired. I feel stronger, I mean I even got a PB for my strict press (I can now push 23kg – look the f-out world!)I lost about 1kg of gut, and budgers. 9 to go.

Week 2 Fine-tuning

This week I am not consuming the nuts. (ha ha sounds rude right). I will try not to have the paleo treats, chocolate and whatnot. I will have my fish oil. 

I will try my hand at intermittent fasting to kerb the appetite and get a bit of calorie deficit in my life. This may be against the paleo philosophy to worry about calories, but heck I have a deadline and am currently eating that of a professional athlete training for the regionals, not a normal boring human tyring to lose fat cells.

I will aim for 3x (+) crossfit sessions, with 1x lung-airing run and 1x sprints. Sleep? Well. I am trying. Robb Wolf podcasts help a lot. No offence intended, but they make me have nice snoozy commutes to work, and I feel I am osmosis learning the paleo ways whilst I snore away. Efficiency is very crossfit you know.

Observations

People in my office are full of it. Full of crap ideas on health and full of crap food. Good to watch though and feel elite-er than them. Opps is that bad karma?

No interventions, I am too self-obsessed xxx

what day is it?

Day 2 & 3, 

I am confused. Totally actually. I am writing this with a day lag. Or am I?  I think I am on day 3. Or is it day 2 and the days have just been REALLY long? Or it is day 3 and I am losing my mind. Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Let’s just roll days 2&3 into one, just in-case it is one of the above. What does it matter? The only date of any influence is the end day, which is the meal after the crossfit Australian regionals, end of May, something something (I better check that). Note: I am not competing. I am just your ultimate fan, suffering as you are in your strictness, minus the 3x WODs per day. 3-4 times a week will do me.

Live/

Apparently DIET is 95% the most important factor in weight management/ longevity/ whatever (or look good naked and fat loss), THEN SLEEP, and THEN TRAINING. So by my rational, lying in bed trying to sleep (and maybe thinking about paleo cookies) is more important to my physique than the 5 min AMRAP medicine ball of torture programmed at my box today? Nah not buying it, my new rule: eat well, move as much as I can, and then get to bed early. Simple. In that order. Oh my what would Robb say?

Sleep priority - I tried this last night. Training finished at 7:30. Dinner at 8. Bed at 9. Asleep at 1am. Wake up at 5:30am. So much for that. Ghastly. I might need to hone-in the long blacks (2x per day) and be tired whilst in adjustments, or just being a walking zombie. Zombie? That will help my fellow crossfit friend’s training at least, as they can run away from me to practice GPP. I don’t know. Is sleep really that important? Maybe I am one of those ‘get by on 4 hours per night’ people? (Glances in mirror to check for bags under eyes)

I didn’t cry today, and did a heap of work. I am feeling rather energetic actually… and chatty. Yuck how very upbeat of me. I will start freaking people out soon with new me. Grumpy Josie is known and knowable. Happy positive Josie is just too strange to comprehend. How vulgar.

Achievements/

I ate well, went to training (all on my own), got told I made someone proud, ate less nuts, lost 600grams (I am not buying into the whole9  rule of no weighing for 30days). I like progress and constant reassurance. I also like materialistic rewards, but I am trying to not be ‘that’ person and trying the ‘fit back into my skinny jeans without budgers’ as a reward.

Eat/

I have been putting my foodness into calorieking. Happy to share but far out how much more of me can you really take? Bottom-line, take home message: (buzzword bingo - I am in marketing you know!) Ave around 1200-1400 cals, 100g fat/ 100g protein/ 16.3g carbs/ 12g sugar (vege/ coconut derived) & 7g fibre. Stop me now. This space is getting obsessive. I blame the Robb Wolf podcasts. 

Move/

I went to bodym, did my crossfit training - Strength: 1-1-1-1-1-1 C&J @ 38kg. Note to self: crap weight. I need to get a new CFT stat. WOD: 5 rounds 15 PU (on knees as I am a weakling), 5 Power Cleans (RX was 40kg), did 35kg= 7:23. Happy with that, more happy for going 2x in a row.

Motivation I love you. Perseverance let’s date. xxx
