I never received an email regarding the food log. Is that feature still available?
Its coming jwIII. We are gathering all registrations and trying to get them all out at once.
Question about the log, what should we do if we snack throughout the day? Like I often snack on some mixed nuts or some sort of fruit between breakfast and lunch and between lunch and dinner, and some days even after dinner. The log only has one slot for snacking.
Also, do we want to record stuff like Centrum or Zyrtec or Fish Oil?
Where do we post our WOD results? Will that be on the log...or do we need to just keep track ourselves?
Great questions!
@ Richie Rich:From Dana's Email last night:
7. Don't forget to do your Pre-BTB45 WOD and record it on your page (you'll see it at the top of the page) At the bottom of the page there is a place to put in your extra points if you darken your room or get a blood test (check out the info page if you have no clue what i'm talking about)
@Justin Y: just add your supplements below your snacks and yes, there is a snack row, check out the doc. Add an extra line if you have more snacks. Rate yourself on those too.
Question regarding the scoring system: yes, score each meal, then give yourself a final averaged score for the day. Choose a whole number please, and round down. For example: 5 bfast, 4 lunch, 5 dinner = 4 for the day. The only way you can get a 5 for the day (from your food) is from perfect Paleo choices. So, aim for that, but if you get some lower scores, whatevs! You still get a nice score for the day and can feel great about your choices for the day!
I'm not officially doing the challenge, but I am super stoked that my cafeteria at work gave me the option of getting sausage, spinach, broccoli, onions, and mushrooms all sauteed together in chicken broth. Good job cafeteria, making it easy to avoid the burger.
@ email question: training for marathon/trying to gain mass
Marathon: be careful not to overtrain, watch the amount of training you do each week. Take days off, rest is just as important as training. Go to the endurance blog on this site to see how others have trained.
Gaining mass: Try to choose workouts that involve lifting heavy weights. Just because a 5x5 doesn't come up on the blog doesn't mean you still can't pick up heavy weight. For example, Fran comes up and you normally have a 4-5 min Fran RX'd at 95#'s. Pick up something heavier like #115 and take the longer time for Fran. Your time is not as important while you are taking on mass gain. Just explain what you are doing to the trainer. Make sense?
I know dairy is a no-no on paleo, but what about Silk Pure Almond Milk? Still like to have that "milk" flavor with breakfast.
There are many foods that increase cholesterol levels and you should avoid them as most of them are also bad for your figure. For example, butter and similar fatty products we use for cooking. These products have a high concentration on fat that together with other fat we take during the day can increase the total fat levels very much zvmiep zvmiep - Moncler Manteaux.
