Paleo Day 4: Blockheads

Okay, so I'm blocking things out today.  I'm going for three 3-block meals and two 1-block snacks.  Seems like a lot of food, but high volume eating isn't always bad.

So far, my breakfast is:
3 oz turkey breast
9 almonds
.5 c blackberries
.5 small cantaloupe

I have to investigate into whether that turkey breast was nonfat or not so that I can compensate for the assumed 1.5 oz fat included in the protein block if I have to.

Also, holy carbs, Batman!  I realized that I have been correctly eyeballing the amounts of protein that I get, but I tend to eat too many nuts at a time, and I tend to not get my full carb amount.  So some tinkering is needed.  Hence me measuring out zone blocks.

WOD was 1/2 Michael: 3x (400m run, 25 back extensions, 25 situps)

My time was 14:00.  The first time I did Michael (full) my time was 30:48.  The full and half Michaels aren't really comparable, but today's runs felt easier than yesterday's, and the only thing I can attribute that to is Paleo eating.  Hooray.

EDIT: Okay, am adding in the fat because I don't think there was any in the turkey.  I think I am going to drink some olive oil.  For some reason that idea is strangely appealing to me.

SECOND EDIT: Whoah, just drank a teaspoon of olive oil.  That was oddly satisfying.  Next I would like to experiment in cooking with coconut oil.
