I know I’m not supposed to get too wrapped up in what the scale says, but I’ve lost 5 lbs! Ritu/AJ — when is the dunk truck coming again to get body fat tested? I wasn’t able to go the last 2 times.
I’ve been feeling really lethargic and hot/cold swings the past 2 days. I thought I was getting a cold, but it hasn’t materialized. I skipped yesterday’s WOD, partly because I had to drive the flooded highway, but I wish I could’ve gone.
The almonds are OUT of my desk, now! I’ll bring a few more next week, but in controlled portions in baggies so I can’t just start eating them.
So AJ, how do I get a Mom’s Omlete in the mornings???!!!
Here’s my last 2 days of food. I’m a bit worried about the weekend since it’s Ma’s 70th birthday and I’m making the cake, but one or two meals doesn’t blow the lifestyle away…
Day 14 – Wed 20-Jan-2010
7 am – woke up; feel swollen, probably from all the salted almonds…
8am – 2 eggs, 1/3 c egg whites, 2 tsp olive oil, 7 oz mixed melon slices (cantelope, honeydew, watermelon)
Noon — 5 oz salmon, 1.5 cups steamed veggies, too many almonds again
3:45 pm – 1.5 oz salmon, 4 oz green pepper, finished off the almonds…
5:30 WOD
9 pm – 5 oz steak (yum!), 8 oz parsnips with ~1 tbsp flax seed oil
10 pm – went to bed; feel a bit of a cold coming on
Day 15 – Thursday 21-Jan-2010
7 am – woke up; very lethargic
8am – 2 eggs, 1/3 c egg whites, 2 tsp olive oil, 7 oz mixed melon slices
12:15 pm – 5 oz salmon, 1 box (9oz) spinach, small orange
3:45 pm – 2 oz raw ahi tuna, 4 oz green pepper
6 pm — 5 oz salmon, 9 oz spinach (same as lunch, but it was fast)
No WOD today
10:30 pm – went to bed

I pretty much walked out of that lecture feeling the same way. Evolution is a part of life and just as we use advanced medical technology to save lives, advanced nutrition that works should be used. Dr. T mentioned that our ancestors were not hunter gatherers but instead gathervores since they did not have the technology to hunt however once it was discovered it made life a little easier and allowed for other advancements. Bottom line as AJ mentioned is do what works best for YOU and always experiment and document and continue to learn and grow for yourself. Do not just take someone else’s word for it.
