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.

Day 13 - La Fitness Lower Body & Core

Today is the first day of working out in the gym with my usual workout.  I will call it the Xavier Full Body Rotational Workout.  With Xavier's workout, he focuses on certain body parts each visit to the gym.  Today was legs, latissimus dorsi (aka lats or back), and abs.  This workout took 1 hour and we started at 11:55am.  We burned 330kcal after the first hour.
