I'm back.

God damn, it's been a while.

I'm going to start logging workouts and food. I'm eating in an unmeasured Paleo-Zone. I find that when I do this, I feel like I'm eating like an athlete, but I'm not stressing myself out. I go CRAZY on the measured Zone. Each meal is lean meat, vegetables, nuts and seeds, and maybe some fruit. No starches, no beans, no potatoes, no grains.

Tonight's workout will be "Nancy." I'll post results and my food for the day later tonight.
