Have’a Chips

I think these were mistakenly placed around the edges of the store, but Wow! Tasty! Has anyone tried these? Yes, I know, they are chips, but check out the ingredients (all pronounceable): corn, soy bean oil, soy sauce, lime, joy, love and light. Plus, I heard a rumor that they are made by Hare Krishnas down in Huntington Beach. In addition, they are Cinco De Mayo friendly and if anything else, they probably come loaded with good karma!

Wow! So after a week on my Paleo inspired diet, I have been craving random things which I’ve never even thought of before. Like saltine crackers, parmesan cheese and toasted hamburger buns. Anyways, so I was wondering…is there a support group thread on this site? There should be! I’ll be the first to post! Today at work, they brought in a Victor Benes cake to celebrate a birthday. I tried and tried, but ultimately broke down. I inhaled a slice in 2.3 seconds. Needless to say, after the sugar rush wore off I had to get my fix with another slice. I fell apart like a house of cards. Four slices later I was trembling at my desk curled up in the fetal position. Somebody help me! LOL!

The Paleo Diet (scaled, lol!)

Threw out all the iodized table salt in the apartment and replaced it with sea salt. 3 steps forward and 1 back, but hey, its a start. Unfortunately though, I just couldn’t get myself to toss the Nutella…

The Paleo Diet
By Loren Cordain

Inspired by the Flintstone cartoon posted on the CFLA website on Wednesday, I read this book. Wow, I had no idea how counterproductive my nutrition is! My diet is so westernized it makes Carl’s Jr. Western Bacon Cheeseburgers look like health food, lol! Obviously this isn’t going to happen overnight, but the more I educate myself the easier it will be. 90% of my pantry is going in the garbage tonight. I’d like to give it the homeless but now that I realize how bad this stuff is, I’d feel so guilty. Eh, they’re going to dig through my garbage anyways…sad, but true.

Milk – raw, whole milk whenever possible

Going to give raw whole milk a try! Bought a pail of it at the farmers market. Will use it in protein shakes, café lattes and sometimes straight up. Dang, this stuff is expensive. In most 3rd world countries; for the same price, you can get the whole cow! LOL!

In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto
by Michael Pollan

Although I probably already knew this, a bag of cheetos is probably not the best pre-wod snack to fuel up on. Furthermore, all that orange, cheesy stuff that sticks to your fingers gets all over the kettle bells and makes them hard to grip. With that being said, maybe it’s a good opportunity to take advantage of crossfit resources and refresh a little on nutrition. I am starting out with Michael Pollan’s book which someone referenced on the CFLA website. Looking forward to seeing where this takes me…
