How come it taste so good?

Bacon, I mean. I just finished off my first pack of Benton's, used the grease to saute some brussels sprouts and kale...yum. Good Paleo eats.

I eat Paleo because, as everyone in CF says, you shouldn't piss in your fuel tank. The workouts make you want to eat Paleo. So I had to indulge myself in some meat and veggies tonight--never mind the fact that the dining hall would be way faster and give me more time for my reading. Nope, today was Paleo and I feel gooooood.

Today's workout was ass-kicking.
120 pull ups (green band)
120 ring dips (I used parallel bars w/ green band)
time: 27:27

My whole upper body, but especially the arm region, is shot. Heck, it was shot after pull up 60 or so, when I could just feel the lactic acid coursing into my back and triceps. The dips were pure agony, and accounted for more than half of my time; I got my pull ups done in about 10 minutes.

Then again, take this time with a grain of salt, since I inadvertently stopped the clock for a minute or so while adjusting my setup (bench under a cable machine = shins smashing into bench while kipping), so it's more of a ballpark figure I suppose.

  1. I think that's a great time. I would still be in there doing the dips. Killas.

  2. Meat + vegs = good clean eating. Great fuel. Love, love, love Benton's. I'm nearly out of it, so will have to re-provision very soon.
