Paleo and Me
On January 1st I decided to go 30 days on a strict paleo diet. I did a lot of research on what I could eat and what I couldn’t. I did the best I could to keep my meals fresh and new throughout the 30 days. I told everyone I knew about it so I had people around me to keep me honest and be disappointed in me if I failed.
It’s January 31st and I’m happy to say I succeeded. Though,...

I hate the fact that as an editor you can’t listen to music and do your work at the same time. It is impossible, unless you’re doing title and/or graphics work then you can go nuts. I want for nothing more than to listen to loud music and get my work done, unfortunately only one of those two things can happen and I like my job and not being unemployed.

Three rounds for time of: 50 Double-unders 50 Back extensions
11:15 (subbed back extensions with good mornings)
I’m pretty pleased with my time. I’ve gotten a lot better at double-unders in the past couple of months. I was able to string a lot of them together, 20+ at a time, which was a great feeling. Problem is I’m still jumping to high, which is more work...

Question...
If you were in a crowd and someone threw a grenade into it, is it still heroic if you throw someone else on top of the grenade? You’d be saving the lives tons of people so in that sense you’re definitely a hero. However, you’re also throwing someone else on the grenade in order to do so. I mean I wouldn’t want to kill myself for a bunch of strangers, but I definitely...

Deadlift 3-3-3-3-3 reps

Could have gone heavier but wanted to concentrate on my form. It’s definitely feeling better, which is great. I’m excited to see what my one rep max will be next time I try it. Still hoping to break 300.

Saturday (1-16-10)
With a continuously running clock, squat for 60 seconds. Subtract the number of squats completed from 60, and do that many pull-ups in minute two. In minute three, squat again, subtracting the number completed from 60. Do that number of push-ups in minute four. Minute five is squatting again, and minute six pull-ups.
The pattern is squats, pull-ups, squats, push-ups, squats,...

I'm thrilled to see your pictures of what you're eating and I'm proud of you for keeping up with this "diet." Keep up the good work man! Are you planning to strictly eat like this forever??

This is far worse than it looks. The broad-jumps are brutal. My lungs were on fire when I was finished. I rested a couple of times for no reason whatsoever. With that being said I’m still satisfied with my time.

WatchStreeter and Amir are huge in Japan. The music they use in this is amazing. It’s also fun to watch people’s expressions as the pranks unfold.

I find it ironic that Creighton posted this because when I come home and Creighton is playing silly games on his ds or 360 this is pretty much the exact statement that pops in my head.

The New York Times wrote a little article about Paleo and primal living. They definitely make this seem like some crazy underground fad. I feel they do a bad job of displaying how healthy it is to follow a paleo diet, but, whatever, this will help keep people thinking it’s so weird and mysterious not eating m&m’s all the time. A few other things to note:
