    Bought some pork rinds yesterday for a work snack. I didn't realize how good these things were.

    I probably down a bag within 2 or 3 days at work. Great addition to the paleo pantry.

    They're cheap, too. $1.64 for a bag of Kroger brand.

    If you don't watch them the calories sneak up on you pretty quick. Plus, macadamias are supposed to be the best of the group. Almonds, walnuts, etc supposedly have a higher Omega 6 level. I try to eat them sparingly although I eat macadamias pretty regularly. I was surprised to find out that cashews are NOT nuts, they're seeds and NOT Paleo.

    Tonight's dinner will be Chipotle. Was surprised to learn that Chipotle is one of the few that uses grassfed beef and farm pastured pork, chicken, etc. I'm going with a pork burrito bowl with fajita veggies, guac & tomato salsa.

    Ah, read in a paleo book at Barnes and Noble that Almonds(my nut of choice) have trace amounts of omega 3s and walnuts had the highest.

    I had chipotle today for lunch. I had a salad with the faijita mix, chicken, salsa and guac. Good stuff.

    What you want to look at here are the Omega 6's, which aren't good if you get too much. Almonds & walnuts are much higher than macadamias. Very surprised how high walnuts are.

    They use meats from Niman Ranch. This is the same place I use to buy from when I lived in Ohio. Now that i'm in NYC, i've really gotten away from it but am slowly making my way back.. I plan to start Paleo next month.

    Jerky, hard boiled eggs, berries...you can also check out Primal Blueprint Quick & Easy Meals. He has a section on snacks alone which is good.

    And Jersey, that's an interesting factoid that I was unaware of.
  • BR1986FB
    Did tabata sprint intervals tonight for the first time. That was interesting.
  • JerseyBuck
    I do tabata sprints twice a week. Something I picked up in basic. First time I did it, we did them up a hill. By the time we were done I couldn't move.

    Signed up for crossfit "Boot camp" for june (49$ groupon). http://www.akroncrossfit.com/index.php/Programs/category/Boot_Camp/ It seems more like a cardio workout and less like crossfit. But it should be fun and a good way to supplement my P90x strength workouts.
    Shake & Bake Boot CampThere is only one CrossFit Akron and we are proud to offer boot camp
    fitness to the Akron area. Others have come and gone but we’re still
    going strong.

    Bootcamps are a great way to Get Fit and Stay Fit! By using randomized
    movements and cardiovascular training you can get the lean, toned body
    that you have always wanted.

    We offer Shake and Bake Bootcamps in Hardesty Park, Firestone High School
    Track, and Sand Run Metro Park in Akron Ohio.

    What is Shake and Bake Bootcamp?

    Shake and Bake is a 4 week program that meets Monday through Saturday, 5
    days per week in the morning or 3 days per week in the evening (at our
    Hardesty Park location only). Workouts are for one hour and consist of
    running drills, plyometrics, and calisthenics done in a different format
    each day. We believe in the theory that constantly varied high intensity
    workouts will achieve the best results for your overall fitness. You’ll
    do hill workouts, intervals, plyometrics, trail workouts and much more.
    Don’t be worried that you can’t do it. You can do it and we’ll help. We
    don’t expect you to do more than you can. We just want you to do your
    best.

    At the start of the program you will perform a fitness test to create a
    frame of reference, or starting point so to speak.

    Our Shake and Bake program is based on a combination of strength and
    cardiovascular exercises. Drill instructors keep things lively by
    integrating push-ups, pull-ups, squats and other strength builders with
    running, plyometrics, and sprinting drills designed to increase speed and
    build cardiovascular endurance.

    Our instructors will challenge you to do your best each and every day.
    They may get a little loud but not to tear you down. They’ll be positive,
    motivating, and encouraging. There will be times that you’ll not like
    your coach during the workouts but not when you experience the results.

    We want you to succeed! CrossFit Akron is a very positive and motivating
    environment. We won’t let you down so don’t let yourself down.

    The Shake and Bake Bootcamp Basic Training Program allows you to make a
    commitment to a fitter lifestyle.

    What you can expect from Shake and Bake:

    * Core strength and a tighter back side
    * Average five pounds of weight loss
    * Improved muscle tone
    * Function that will apply to any sport as well as every day life
    * Accountability of goals for maximum results
    * Increase in strength and cardiovascular endurance

    Shake and Bake Bootcamp is an amazing value.

    We offer the highest level of training in a positive, fun, motivating
    environment for the fraction of the cost of personal training. No fancy
    equipment, mirrors, juice bars, or neon lights, just the best training you
    can get anywhere.

    There are Crossfit groups that focus on different aspects. Some for cardio, some for overall functionality, some for athletes, etc. As you mentioned, this one sounds more cardio focused.

    Yeah, I am just excited to do something outside. I haven't been doing Kenpo, Plyo, Yoga every time in the 2nd round of P90x because of different life things getting in the way, I just skipped them instead of pushing the whole schedule back. Have stuck to the strength but this should help me keep up the cardio in June.

    Gum while fasting...yay or nay?
  • OneBuckeye
    I still put heavy whipping cream in my coffee when I am fasting. google "gum marks daily apple" he has interesting stuff on gum. I don't think it would be a big deal though.

    I had a salad from Chipotle from lunch today with chicken, fajita veggies, tomato salsa, and guac. Delicious.
