Apparently eating 3 full meals, 3 snacks, and sampling Jojos baked goods is just not enough to prevent "starvation" or "glucose withdrawal". Are you kidding? Around 8:00 last night the texts started with I'm starving! I'm drowning! I'm hungry! GO TO BED!! Don't let your mind tell your stomach it needs to eat. Enough said.
All of our measurements are done. Overall, some great performances on "Helen". Fortunately, Chelsea, Torp's niece, didn't take a leisurely stroll to her last set of KB swings, and ended up taking first in the WOD time by 1 second over you guessed it, the Paleo Prince. Thank you Chelsea that would have been a hard one to listen to for 29 more days. BTW the minute my husband walked in the door instead of, "hi dad how was your day?" he was greeted with, "Dad, Chet lost to a girl by 1 second!" That was music to my ears!
We've had 2 people join our little group! Cindy (training for US triathlon Nationals) stopped by the PG yesterday and said her husband Gary is joining the challenge. Welcome Gary!! Gary is known as the guy who made me an Oreo Cookie Cake for my birthday that made me cry. Competition is over....Gary WINS! Sorry but none of you can ever match that performance, but keep trying.
My sister Nora is also joining us from afar. She, like Jules, had trouble believing I could somehow put something like this together. Well HA to both of you. I actually, all by myself again, got the blogger app and I can even do it from my phone. HA again! Anyway, welcome Nora!! Get your Helen time today or tomorrow and send it to me.
One last thing....I need to mention another very special girl. As you know we have our Pathetic (oops)
Paleo Prince but now I need to introduce our Paleo Princess!! Barb Ferrante. Barb has been doing paleo since January 1st. She's lost weight, gained more energy, and is the inspiration behind this challenge. I thought, "If Barb can do it, we can all do it". She's more than willing to share recipes, give you ideas, and help in any way. Please feel free to contact her! (except of course +Chet)
Just wanted to let y'all know that I got a coconut spread from Shoprite today and it actually tastes like butter. I had it on my sweet potato at lunch and it was awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI did a WOD this morning but I couldn't do the Helen. I don't have a place to do the pulls. Barbara, I should have had you get me set-up when you were down here!
ReplyDeleteNora,
ReplyDeleteYou can always do pushups instead of pulls. As long as you retest using the same standards you're good to go!
Go Nora!!
