Speaking of all this paleo eating check out this picture of me going all Neandrathal in the wild.  Not only did I eat this little sucker I did it raw....yuck I know.  In hindsight it wasn't a good idea, but I was out with buddies on the river and we'd been drinking and a challenge was laid out and well you know how the rest goes.

I was hungry and it seemed like a better idea than polishing off the rest of the meatloaf.  I had some balsamic vinegar on it.  Sunday and yesterday, I have been really hungry and have been eating way to many mixed nuts.....back on track today.

That's not a very nutritionally balanced meal.

I've been on quite the roller coaster ride for the last week.  My mom had fallen 3 times in three days so I went to Texas to visit her.  On the last emergency room visit, they found a spot on her lung which was eventually diagnosed to be adenocarcinoma of the lung.  She also had a kidney stone so large that it couldn't be passed which has effectively shut down that kidney.  It was a very long week with a lot of stress, no workouts and very little eating on my part.  

I am back at my training tomorrow, but I'm not feeling it like I was when I started at the beginning of the year.  There's part of me that wants to work out more than ever so that I'm never in the position of being 74 and in poor health.  There's another part of me that wants to give into the sadness and not get out of bed.  But I will get out of bed at 4:45 in the morning and try to have a decent workout always reminding myself that I have 117 days until race day.

Time for a "put up, or shut up" moment.  Since AbbieR gave us some scantilly clad action on the first, I'm gonna give you folks my version on the 10th.  It won't be as impressive, though.

 

 

That was taken today.  Weight is 228# with 20.4% BF.  The goal is 220#-225# with 15% BF or better.

Wow talk about your bad week.  Whereabouts in Texas?  My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your mom.  If I may offer a suggestion, I always train best when I am angry or feel like the world is falling in on me.  I channel the negativity into anger and I always train better angry.  And I always feel better afterwards, or at least my mind got off of the situation for a while.

We were in Lewisville which is north of Dallas.  The nursing staff was great, but I wasn't a huge fan of the doctors.  My mom found out she had cancer when the oncologist introduced herself as the cancer doctor.

enders_shadow - 2013-02-13 8:43 AM I'm not sure which post skeeved me out more - eating a whole bag of lettuce or eating the scorpion-thing. Both of them kind of made me hurl a little. Looking for a good weigh-in this Friday - taper week and losing some of my retained fluid so I'm hoping for sub-160...
