Paleo Zone

If you have been a reader for long, you know that I have been working on getting fit and losing the last baby weight. I started swimming last Spring, then got into grad school and that went out the window. I longed for something AJ and I could do together. Biking was a great activity when it was warmer. It got me hooked on getting a work out in daily. a few months ago a new crossfit gym opened up. Aj had been into it in Iraq and did some in Afghanistan . I signed up and encouraged him to go. Turns out we both love it. We even went to class together once and I found it great for our relationship and I loved that he could see that I could keep up with him. Maybe not in weights but in reps. I decided that although I haven't seen the scale go down, I have lost inches, feel better, and am developing muscle. It was time for the next step. I met with the nutritional consultant yesterday. Crossfit uses the Paleo Zone way of eating. He broke everything down for me into 5 meals. This is stressing me out a bit. I feel like I will be eating a ton of food! Every meal I have to get in a certain amount of protein, fat, and good carbs. I will eventually cut out dairy. This is a bit scary. I love my cheese. Aj and I have already done a great job cutting out pastas and potatoes. Yesterday he didn't think he wanted to eat like this. But, when I reminded him how buff and lean I was going to look he changed his mind. He has won half the battle with me buying the food already. Next I have to get in 64 ounces of water and 2 fish oil tabs. I will be peeing all day for sure! Stay tuned on my progress. I will post anything I find helpful.
