Day 18 - Crossfit WOD & Day 1 - Paleo

Today I decided to sign up for the Paleo challenge at the gym.  I am a week late, so I have to really hit the ground running.  Wish me luck! 

What is the Paleo diet?
This diet is based on the types of foods that people at prior to the Agricultural revolution (about 10,000 years ago), when everyone was a hunter and gatherer, thus the name Paleo (Paleolithic).  As a result, meals were based on meat and vegetables.  Some other names for this diet is the caveman diet, the hunter-gatherer diet, or the stone age diet.

For more information, go to www.thepaleodiet.com.

Now for the WOD of the day.

Let's see how the day goes.

3 hours later - 1188 kcal

Day 14 - 3 mile jog on the treadmill

Today I decided to take it easy and do a run on the treadmill.  I have a 10k and a half marathon to prepare for in the coming months, so I need to get my runs in when I can.

Day 12 - 2.2 mile jog (after 7 days vaation)

Just got back from a short vacation, so back to the experiment.

Today @ ~3pm I did a 2.2 mile run around Grant Park.  I should do better and do these runs in the morning or late afternoon.  Its hard to give 100% at 90+ degrees.

Burned 269kcal after 22 minute run.

After 10 hours (1am) I burned 1930kcal.

Day 11 - Bootcamp @ 6:30am

I took a 6pm bootcamp 2 days ago and burned about 250kcal. My hunch is that because it was 91 degrees out, I was too hot to exert my best effort.  In order to do this experiment justice, I have decided to measue bootcamp based on the 6:30am class. 

The challege is waking up this early!  Wish me luck!

In todays class I was 10 minutes late, so hit the park and ran to the group.  I started the watch at this point.  We did 20 minute AMRAP of hate makers (3 rounds of 5 push ups, 20 mountan climbers, and 1 jump and clap), 3 suicide up hill runs, incline situps, twisting squat jumps (360 degree turn into next squat), and pelvic thrust (the naughty 80s move).  We ended with 2 minutes of scissor kicks and stretching.

After the workout I burned 350kcal (30 minutes).  By 7:30am I burned 450kcal.  Let's see what happens all day!

At 9:30 burned 725kcal
At 10:30 burned 980kcal
At 11:30 burner 1130kcal

After 10 hours I burned 1850kcal.

Day 10 - 2 miles around grant park

I ran 2.1 miles in about 22 minute.  I burned 141kcal during the run.  At 10 hours, I burned 1981kcal.

Day 9 - 2.5 mile run

I ran 2.5 miles today. This burned 390kcal.

I burned ~1500kcal after 10 hours.

Day 7 - Sedentary Day (A Little R&R)

Today, I am resting my body. It is important to give your body time to recover. CrossFit is a very intense workout and between that and running, my muscles definitely can use some R&R.

For good measure, I am monitoring calorie burn today. The idea is to get as many data points as possible.

I started wearing the waistband at about 9:45am so I will have it on until about 7:45pm.

At 4:10pm, burned 1420kcal
At 7:45pm (10 hours) burned 1954kcal (195kcal per hour)
