So, another blog, probably wont keep up with it, but lets go anyway! First, a primer-
I eat "primal", which I actually can't stand saying. I eat whole foods, nothing processed(though coconut flour is an exception), though the processing meat goes through at a butchers is something I'm overlooking, and I eat a lot of fat. Dinner for me the other night was almost 1lb of bacon. This wasn't some special occasion. I'm 155-160lbs. I don't gain weight, even though I eat as much as I like.
Did that last statement make you hate me? Regardless, it's the truth. Breakfast-
1/5th portion of a scramble-
12 eggs from pastured chickens
1lb grass fed ground beef
Local-ish oganic spinach
broccoli
cauliflower
Fried in bacon fat(to be referred to as lard from here on out)
That's how I start my day. Healthy dose of cholesterol, your body and mind want it, give in!
Where exactly am I going with this? I'm not sure, not in the slightest. I'd say this is a friendly hello, but it isn't, it's merely an introduction to the active and healthy side of me.
So far for the week-
Monday: 6 mile run at lunch, 80lb weighted pull/push/dip routine at home
Tuesday: Crossfit( 21, 15, 9 155lb squats and ring dips for time, 7:50)
Wednesday: 5 mile lunch run, 2 hour Parkour training
Thursday: legs hurt...1 hour racquetball
Today- Resting...what?!
Tomorrow- Death Race Training Camp. If this blog is lucky, I might remember to post back here and elaborate.
My life is moving fast, toward simple sustainable homesteading in the woods, but at the same time, I love activities, to push myself beyond anything I'd have expected myself to ever be capable of doing. I'm striving to do this as naturally as possible, whole foods, modern moccasins, wool clothing and water. I will eventually be the scary guy that lives in the woods and has a house he tows behind is beat up Jeep Wrangler(will soon purchase). Until then, I'll dabble with a makeshift garden, wash my clothes by hand, and continue challenging my mind and body. The Death Race could have been named anything, it's just another challenge, something that I'm curious if I can do. Between now and then are several other interesting events, and we'll talk about those next time.
Until then, I'll simply leave you with a question, how much fat did you eat today?
Hey there, Ryan.
ReplyDeleteNice to see your thoughts in more detail.
About your question. I'll be honest here, I don't really keep count, but I probably do eat a hell of a lot more saturated fat and cholesterol than what's recommended. For example: I also tend to have my days that start with a large dose of cholesterol by way of eggs, cheese, and peppers.
Heh. Good stuff.
Cheers.
