Okay, one big breathe and now back to work.
**Okay went to Steve B and here are my results so far:
Pre Paleo (4 weeks ago) Weight from Steve - 140.4
Pre Paleo Fat Mass from Steve - 26.3%
Today Weight from Steve - 136.2 All fat which surprised me b/c I thought or still think I'm not getting enough Protein.
Today Fat Mass from Steve - 24.2%
So I'm down which is great, but honestly I thought I'd be down in a little lower percent wise, based on my paleo challenge last year, 3% in four weeks vs 2 % in four weeks this time. Steve and I talked about this a little and he asked if I was eating enough calories which I don't think I am.
Today, my diet consisted of:
Breakfast - Small pumpkin paleo bar
Lunch - 1/4 cup of my paleo mexican sloppy joe's and 1/2 an avocado
Snack - handful of strawberries/one banana/some pistachios
Post Steve B snack - jerky, beef....several pieces pre OLY
The two things I see missing are protein and veg...going to try and add a lot more to my diet to see what happens these next three weeks.
Dinner consisted of some grass fed ground beef/tomato sauce I made with spaghetti squash and a big side of broccoli and carrot slaw with olive oil and a little balsamic.
1) Hope your day goes better. Ask for a raise of 30%. Wait. No. 100%!
ReplyDelete2) Xoco is delicious and churros taste good.
3) I posted this on your other post, but I'm not sure if you saw it:
Ashley,
Just a heads up, you are not going to be able to accurately track changes in body comp from your caliper measurements to an impedance test (Steve B's method.) Hydration state affects impedance tests too much.
Better to be more consistent with your measurements over time (i.e. use calipers again).

Ash- for future reference, Xoco has a good pulled pork salad that's pretty paleo. but it would be hard to skip that azteca hot chocolate. sorry about the job frustration!
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree today has been shitty! I hope for the best for you and your job. Try to stay calm, even though it can be extremely difficult. You are amazing and that is all that really matters.
ReplyDeleteIf you want a remeasurement on the caliper, feel free to come over to my house any time.
That goes for any of you who want something more consistant. Just shoot me a txt 651-380-8798
Keep on keeping on, we are fighting cancer!
Thank you everyone. I just have reached my limit here but I know it has to get better, just going through a shit time.
ReplyDeleteJoel - I actually went to Steve B a few days before getting pinched by Cori, so uh uh uh...... :)
Also, I have been feeling bloated for the past two days and yucky. I have been eating straight, so not sure if I'm eating something that is aggravating my system or that I'm allergic to.
Ashley, Steve B is right more food is needed. I have noticed that your meals are very small, Camille like.
ReplyDeleteWell done. Choices go so fast, milliseconds. Seems like hours. Face to face with Mexican hot chocolate...and you overcame. You are tough as nails Ashley and very inspiring! And I think now a "skinny bitch" but not skinny fat - never.
