30 Day Paleo Challenge!

I am officially embarking on a 30 day paleo challenge starting March 1st. I used the Tanita body composition analyser to check my stats.

Name Adam Brasel
Age 31
Height 6'0"
Weight 181lbs
Fat % 14.7%
Fat Mass 26.6 lbs
Fat Free Mass 154.41 lbs

Here are my ground rules.

 Each Challenge participant starts each day with 7 points.  These points represent 7 aspects of the PALEO diet.

1. Eat real food. Meat, eggs, vegetables, nuts, seeds, fruit, oils (like EVOO or coconut). Eat foods with very few ingredients, all pronounceable ingredients, or better yet, no ingredients listed at all because they’re fresh and natural. 
2. Do not eat dairy. This includes butter, cheese, yogurt and milk (including cream in your coffee).
3. Do not eat grains. This includes bread, rice, pasta, corn, oatmeal, and also any gluten-free pseudo-grains (quinoa, etc).
4. Do not eat legumes. This includes beans of all kinds, lentils, and peanuts. No peanut butter!
5. Do not eat sugars of any kind, real or artificial.  No maple syrup, agave nectar, Splenda, Truvia, Stevia, etc.
6. Do not eat processed foods. This includes protein shakes, processed bars like Zone and Balance bars, dairy-free creamers, etc.
7. Do not drink alcohol, in any form.

So, if you follow points 1-6, but have a soda with your dinner, you get 6 points for the day.  Subtract a point for the day if you have cream in your coffee.  Eat a bagel - subtract a point. Etcetera. If you have a soda, cream in your coffee and a bagel in one day, you're down to 4 points for that day. If you have a question about whether something counts as a point or not, ask and we'll figure out an answer.

I can't wait to see what happens!  I will keep you posted on the results

Word is getting out!

Hello everyone

Sorry it has been a while since I last posted. I will do a better job of updating you with all the latest and greatest in functional fitness.

Happy New Year

The end of the year is time to reflect on the past 12 months’ achievements and failures and set your sites on bigger and better things in the year to come.  New Year’s resolutions are a common tradition this time of year, but are usually created without much thought and long forgotten by Valentine’s Day.  It is a shame because they are a seriously powerful tool that can set you up for success if created and followed up on correctly.
All goals (personal, health/fitness, professional, etc…) should be created as S.M.A.R.T. Goals.  That is, they should be Specific, Measurable, Affirmative, Realistic and Time bound.  For example, instead of saying “I want to be stronger,” a SMART Goal would be “I will deadlift twice my bodyweight by June 1^st, 2011.”  The SMART goal is not vague. You can measure it (there are numbers involved).  It is said in the affirmative state, “I will,” not “I want.”  It is realistic; if you currently have a 1.5x BW deadlift, this is completely within your grasp, and it is Time bound; give yourself a deadline.

Post your SMART goals in the comments section.  Remember to include at least two goals for the weight room plus two more for your personal life or sport seasons.  Include your full name.
