Paleo Shmaleo

In the past month I have met three people that I a) am related to b) work with and c) go to church with who have all lost excessive amounts of weight a) 60 b) 45 c) 75.  How exactly did all three of these guys do it? The world renowned, scientifically proven ELMM diet.  What is that you ask? Eat Less Move More.  And guess what?  They all eat bread, drink milk, enjoy some rice and beans on occasion and even...wait for it...have sugar!!!!!  They all limited their carb intakes, kept their calories under a certain number and tried to move a little bit more.  So what's my point?  Paleo is unsustainable for me for an extended amount of time...and I WANT CHEESE!!!!

On a different note, when this little shin dig was conceived it was originally until the end of the month.  I have noticed in the Countdown timer so prominently displayed by NM that he has us going until the morning of our Vegas trip.  I have some concerns/questions.  Do we get to extend our number of beers?  Much like overtime in the NFL where they get two additional timeouts, even if they have drank used all of their previous allotment.  So do we get a few extras?  Can't go to Vegas completely dry.  Much like a trip to the beach, you need to get a little base tan before then or you'll burn.

Does cutting the grass count as working out?  I think it should, but until I hear something official from the selection committee, I'll hold off an using those points.

Eats:
Friday - other than the world's best tasting breakfast burrito that a coworker brought in and a few fries at dinner, I ate well and clean.  Well except for a few (5-6) nachos at a HS football game...don't judge, the boy was full so I helped him out. 2369 calories.  My first day since I've been counting that I went over my limit of 2170.  Could I have said no to the burrito? Yes.  I could have also said yes to many other things that came along after 8:00 am that I passed on.

Saturday - did a mighty fine job I must say.  I didn't skip a meal, though should have drank more water but we were out of the house for a big chunk of the day at multiple soccer events. 1547 calories.  I did well today.

Sunday - same thing, ate well and even tried my first coffee of the month.  Make it a black coffee at that.  It sucked, couldn't finish it.  1427 cals and three distinct meals.

Workouts:
Friday - instead of JUST my usual circuit at the boy's practice I did some hill repeats...whew, I was sucking some big time wind.  Only did a half hour total.  It was Friday. I was tired. I still had a long evening ahead.

Saturday - 90 minutes!!!  Now that we have a tv (just for you) set up in the basement, I could do this while watching Nebraska beats so thuggish, cocky Hurricanes

Sunday - one hour cutting the grass (not to be counted though) and a 30 min workout watching Manhattan.

That's me in a nutshell.

Points - who cares, I'm clearly buying NM a big ass steak dinner in LV.
