I'm looking into adapting carb nite into my paleo diet. I picked up the ebook, and it makes a lot of sense. Lots of great science behind the weight loss techniques... Basically ultra low carb paleo 6 days a week, then one night of carb loading.

I think this would be miserable not necessarily because of the taste, but also because if you liquefy, your body won't send satiation signals to let you know you've eaten enough, so you will constantly be hungry. Some people can count calories and just deal with being hungry all day. I personally can't.

Well, one week down, 5.6lbs lost. Feeling better and better working out. Hopefully I'll push through Spring Break and be ready to start Jiu Jitsu and weight training when the school term starts.

Week 2 Current weight: 236.4 Weekly weight loss total: 5.6 lbs Body fat % (waiting on device) Sunday: Journal: Stayed in Portland overnight, had breakfast at a breakfast place (stayed away from carbage). Back home. I'm so proud that I didn't gain any weight from my Portland trip, eating out responsibly (although expensively). I'm happy with my first week's weight loss. Ready to keep going. I'm gonna adjust the meal plan for next week, time to build a shopping list. I'll focus on ground beef since it is accessible and cheap even for grassfed. Gotta find better ways to use eggs before I get sick of them. This coming week is finals week. I have one paper and two final exams, shouldn't be terribly busy. Just stay on my Rushfit, and keep up the Paleo! Last time I did Rushfit, I quit near the beginning of week 2, so I better keep it going this time, get some more x's on that calendar. Breakfast/Lunch - 12:30pm: Elmer's restaurant. Ordered rancher breakfast, replaced sausage with more bacon (4 strips of bacon, and a hunk of ham) 3 eggs over easy, Fresh fruit instead of hash browns and no biscuit. 2 cups of black coffee and water. Not too bad for eating out. Dinner - 4:20pm: Corn beef and cabbage. Corn beef kinda sucks on the omega-3s, but it's St. Patty's day. No Potatoes in this one. I'm good to go! Exercise: Stretching DVD. I want to go for a bike ride, but the weather is not cooperating.

Where are the full pngs?

Can you tell us about your goals(Martial arts for spirituality, self defense, a workout, athletic competition)? Your body comp(some martial arts are better for different body types)? Your fighting style preferences (For example, I hate punching and kicking, and I always used to wrestle around with my friends as a kid, so I study Braz. Jiu Jitsu). Looking from your post, you are trying to get into amateur MMA. You should study some form of grappling (Jiu Jitsu is a great option, Judo is good, so is Wrestling) and some form of striking (Muay Thai, Kickboxing, and Boxing are very popular in MMA, Taekwondo and Karate are much less popular). If you can find an MMA school, they don't focus on the arts, which you seem to want to incorporate too, so focusing on one art (either grappling or striking) for a few years, and then incorporating the other is a good road, but slower than just training MMA.

Thanks for the advice. I'm thinking of making a giant batch of spaghetti squash spaghetti (plus broccoli and spinach for more nutrition) for dinners next week and mixing with eggs in the morning to make a sort of frittata, I'll let you know how it turns out.

This is Ryan Clark and Brent Primus from Northwest Martial Arts out of Eugene where I trained at (and will pick back up with soon here)

Thanks littlewings! I heard I'm not the only Dub floating around here.

I was SO LIVID when I saw that horrendous GI Movie, at the end, when they blow up the icebergs, which then SINK TO THE BOTTOM TO CRUSH THE BASE... I'm so mad about this one... The glacier floats just fine, but then it's broken into smaller pieces and they suddenly sink. How did that one sneak through the filters? HAVE THEY EVER HAD ICE IN THEIR DRINKS? That's probably the most angry I've been watching a movie... and I guess I'm still mad about it.

I decided to roll myself as a character in Neverwinter Nights 2, new avatar is the screenshot from the game.

I'm getting so sick of my scrambles and omelettes (which is actually one of the reasons I stopped paleo before). I'm doing the boiled eggs now, but those are losing their appeal quickly... I'm not sure what to do! Can I just chug 3 raw eggs each day? Is there a danger to that?

I would love any suggestions especially about using eggs in creative ways. Also, good ways to incorporate veggies into breakfast. Scrambles and omelettes aren't really working for me. As for snacking, I don't put that in my journal, but I bought a pound of walnuts and 2 pounds of frozen raspberries that I am munching on throughout the week. I'm really trying hard to portion the raspberries, cause I could eat the whole bag in one sitting.

I started my new plan on Sunday, and I've been keeping my journal in a word doc. I was also working on getting my sleep schedule regulated, so I'm putting that info here too. I forgot to put that i have a protein shake each morning(I know, not paleo, but it's pretty much pure whey protein, not many sugars or carbs, trying to get rid of it, I don't want to throw it out) I'll update as I go and create a new post each week: Week 1 3/10/13 – Day 1 Weight 242.0 Sleep time: 1:00am, wake up 11:00am: 10 hours Exercise: Full Body Str and Conditioning 1:00pm Breakfast – Steak and Scramble Journal: Set alarm for 8:00am, ended up sleeping till 11:00am.. gotta work on that. 4:30pm Lunch - Spinach & Apple Salad 8:00pm Dinner – Chicken Stir Fry 3/11/13 – Day 2 Weight 240.2 Sleep time: 10:30pm – 7:00am: 8.5 hours (4 wake ups) Refreshed feeling 7 out of 10 Exercise: Strength and Endurance 8:30am Breakfast – Steak and Scramble Journal: I felt pretty fresh this morning, I didn’t feel like shutting my alarm off. The exercise went ok. I had to step out of a few exercises, but my legs aren’t as bad as they were last week. I like this 7:00 wakeup. I drank the protein shake and then made my lunch. I left the bacon fat in the pan to use for making my steak and eggs after the workout. The time it took me to make lunch was just enough for the protein to settle. I’m a little sleepy now at 9:40, even after drinking tea. Drink more water! 1:40pm Lunch – Spinach Salad 5:00pm Dinner – Chicken Stir Fry 3/12/13 –Day 3 Weight 237.8 Sleep time: 11:00pm – 7:00 Am: 8.0 hours (3 wake ups) Refreshed feeling 7 of 10 Exercise: just warm up, gonna bike to school. 8:30am Breakfast – Steak and scramble and 1.5 cup honeydew (didn’t eat the whole scramble, looked gross, need some alternative methods for eggs) Journal: Day 2 went pretty well. Today, I’m still tired. Hopefully I can adjust. I’m gonna pick up some melatonin. I’m going to try to bike to school, shouldn’t be rainy, and not too cold. We’ll see how it goes. 12:00pm Spinach Salad 5:00pm Dinner – Chicken Stir Fry 3/13/13 – Day 4 Weight 237.4 Sleep time: 10:30pm – 7:00am (1 wake up) Refreshed feeling 9 of 10 Exercise: Core conditioning 8:30am Breakfast – Steak, 3 hard-boiled eggs, 1.5 cups honeydew Journal: The melatonin definitely helped. I need to find something new to do with eggs, I’m having trouble with them in any form at this point, but they are definitely a staple. I wonder if just chugging them raw would be doable? 1:40pm – Lunch Spinach Salad 5:00pm – Chicken Stir Fry 3/14/13 Weight 237.2 Sleep: 10:30pm - 7:00am (1 wakeup) Refreshed feeling 9 of 10 9:30am Breakfast – 2 strips bacon, steak, 1.5 cups honeydew 12:00pm – Subway spinach salad with double chicken breast, olives, onions, cucumber, and banana peppers with honey mustard on top (probably not super paleo, but not too bad, but I could have done much worse) Journal: Really happy with Melatonin. Goofing off on the internet too much this morning, so doing my journal entry later but I found a new site that I’m gonna start doing my journal on. I forgot to buy spinach yesterday, so I couldn’t make my salad, but I already had the bacon prepped for it, so I just ate the bacon in place of the eggs. Not the best choice, but I’ll deal. Lunch was ok from Subway. Probably the closest thing to paleo fast food. 4:00pm - Snack Chicken thigh 6:30pm - Dinner 3 Eggs, 3 strips Bacon 3/15/13 Weight 236.8 Sleep: 11:00-7:00am Refreshed feeling 9 of 10 Journal: Today is a little bit wonky because I have an orthodontist appt. at 8:00, so I don't have time to exercise in the morning. School will be over early, so hopefully, I'll come home and work out then. Yesterday eating got a little wonky, and today will too because I need to finish off my steak, so I will eat a lot of that. Next week, I need to freeze half the steak cause it won't last the whole week in the fridge. Weight is still dropping slowly but surely. I can deal with it as long as it's going down. Breakfast 9:00 - lots of steak and honeydew (steak was about to go bad, so I hammered through it) Lunch 1:00 - Bacon apple spinach salad Workout - Fight Conditioning Didn't really have dinner. Had some beef jerkey and an apple snack though 3/16/13 Weight 236.6 Sleep time 1:00am-3:00am (2 hours) Refreshed feeling 2 of 10 Journal: Yeah, today is gonna suck... My friends need a ride to the airport up in Portland by 6:00am, so I offered to drive them. Stupid move! I'm gonna bring 3 hard boiled eggs and some honeydew with me for road breakfast. 3 strips of bacon on the stove now for a preroad snack... Friends want to meet me for Korean food for lunch, so I'll try to stick with meat dishes and avoid the sides of rice. Dinner is gonna be easy. I'll be at buffalo wild wings. Thanks to some suggests, I'll try to get wings cooked in their own fryer so they aren't contaminated (I'll tell them I have a gluten allergy). I was planning on coming home tonight, but thanks to this horrible two hours of sleep, I'm definitely gonna stay the night in Portland. Tomorrow is supposed to be my rest day, but I'll count today as rest and do cardio tomorrow. Breakfast: 10:00am 3 boiled eggs, honeydew Lunch: 1:00pm Korean BBQ (Tons of meat, lots of delicious side dishes, tons of salt, not many carbs) Dinner: 8:00pm Buffalo Wild Wings (30 wings, hot, no bleu cheese, lots of celery and carrots)

Thank you Kishi. Looks like you are doing some Judo there in your picture? Is that correct?

Thanks! I hope to get back into my monk training pretty soon. As for the picture, I sometimes get confused, but if you look close, i'm the one wearing the black jacket.

i would recommend trying to find an old school road bike from a thrift shop and taking it to a bike shop and letting them get it up to snuff. Once you go to a road bike, you'll never go back to riding the roads with a mountain bike again.

Hi. I just joined. I'm working on getting back into shape and getting back into BJJ training. I'm 6'1", 242lbs and probably around 25-30% body fat (I'll check more accurately once I get the tool in the mail) I'd like to set some short term goals for the next 3.5 weeks at a cost of stat points (I'll only take 7 possible points instead of 15). Currently, I'm working on RushFit. At the start of my next (and final) term of school, I'm taking a weight training class and a flexibility class at the University, and hopefully sitting in a BJJ class, so I'm doing RushFit to get my endurance to a level where I can get through these workouts. Goals: Ride my bike 8-10 miles 3x/week (during cardio RushFit days and on RushFit rest day do a leisurely ride) STA + 2 Lose 15 lbs (I'll start monitoring body fat and setting those goals at the beginning of the next 6 week challenge) Current weight (as of Sunday) 242 CHA + 1 Eat at least 90% Paleo CON + 2 Survive Spring Break without a single lapse in diet or exercise. WIS + 1 CON + 1 Do those scores look fair? Any input would be greatly appreciated! I look forward to working with my fellow monks.
