Today was quite the interesting day. The day of my fantastic Birthday celebration! I ate super cleanly all day. My night time activities however, reflect a lot more drinking than I am used to. I am only a level 3 because I knew that my birthday would fall within the challenge. Therefore alcohal is not necessarily cheating. Keep in mind I had not cheated in 2 weeks up to this point. I have to give a warning be extremely careful drinking alcohol on the paleo diet. Without bready carbs to soak up alcohol, it is a little bit harder to keep in your body. I had to learn my lesson the hard way! You will see below.
Day 6
Meal 1
3 eggs, a cup of spinach, 1/2 cup tomatoes, basil, 1 red pepper cooked in coconut oil. Put 1/2 avocado on the top.
4 espresso shots over ice
3 protein blocks, 3 carbs, 6 fat
Workout:
6X 2 min AMRAP barbell manmakers and 200M run
post workout:
Progenex shake, 1 small cherry pie larabar
3 protein, 1.5 carbs, 2 fat
Meal 2
4 oz chicken breast(leftover from huge pesto batch, 1 apple w 1tbs almond butter
4 protein, 2 carbs, 6 fat
Meal 3
2 Eggs, 2 egg whites sauteed in coconut oil and garlic with 1 Cup broccoli and 1/2 avocado
(trying to prep a bit with more fat so it will help with alcohol)
3 protein, 1 carb, 3 fat
Meal 4
before it all went down hill
6 oz salmon , steamed Veggies from Sapphire Grill( it was so hard to order so plainly at such a great restaurant)
4.5 protein, 2 carbs, 2 fat
AND A WHOLE LOT OF VODKA SODA'S AND 1 TEQUILA SHOT....PRETTY MUCH UNTIL I HIT THE FLOOR. NEVER AGAIN!!!!............I have never been so sick in my entire life. Eating so cleanly and drinking a lot do not mix.
So I disagree about the carbs to soak up alchohol...I think all you get is a well fed drunk :) Miss Anaerobic and your most excellent training.
