So of course I had a New Years Resolution to eat clean (paleo) and work out enough to get in better shape and shred fat. My goals are:
short term:
1. kipping pull ups
2. push ups - my elbows/triceps are weak
3. double unders
Long term goal:
1. Complete a tough mudder
2. complete a spartan race
3. complete several short 5k-10k runs
Weight and overall health
1. Lose fat, gain strength
2. Eat clean, no wheat which I know now is the cause of my hip pain
So in order to have a goal it has to be measurable. So my short term goals are easy. Actually perform kipping pull ups. I am almost there, just need to get the timing down and build up grip strength. So lets say, do 5 uninterrupted pull ups. Same for push ups and double unders, but lets say do 10 uninterrupted. Of course 5 sets would be nice.
Long term goals are easy to measure, just do it.
Health goals are more difficult as eating is of course the majority of my health goal. I have discovered that eating badly causes me pain and depression. I also got a cold. I do have a little tolerance for the bad stuff, so an occasional cheat (not treat) is okay. But if I eat badly then the pain in my hip comes back and I start to feel crappy.
I guess my biggest issue is whether or not to eat dairy. I would like to eat kerrygold butter, occasional greek yogurt and kerrygold cheese. Paleo says no, Primal says yes, but why should I strictly follow someone elses diet plan just cause they say it is the rule? The one thing I know is that if I am going to overeat, it will be with cheese.
The one thing I know is that the term paleo is loosely followed. What caveman had access to sweet potatos and coconut oil? So I think I will make my own rules and change things up as needed. I know I can't eat wheat, but what about oatmeal? I used to eat it just fine, but I had hip issues, was it the oatmeal or the pasta? I think in an emergency situation, I might just give it a try. As far as dairy goes, I know no milk, but the occasional cheese or yogurt might just have to happen. I would rather eat clean than 100% paleo/primal. The one thing I know is listen to my body and how I feel. Gonna take measurements and weigh myself. Measurements are more important because it is more of an indication of where I am at.
Let's rock it 2013.
