Day 4 of 81

A couple of days ago I read a blog post from a former 858 member and it's been bothering me since. Now let me preface this with the fact that I read a lot of posts from a lot of people, both 858 members and non 858 members, and if I had to put a number on it 84% of them make me want to throw my phone out of my office window or punch my laptop because I blame the messenger for delivering the stupid to me. However, 99% of the time I show restraint and do not respond; this, friends, is that 1%. The blog posts stated that she spends, on average, $70 on groceries to feed her and her husband paleo friendly food for an entire week. Let me break this down for you. It's 10 dollars per day and assuming each of them eat 3 meals a day, that's $1.66/ meal. (edit - I later went back to make sure what I recalled reading was accurate. the post goes on the break down the groceries to 40 meals at a cost of $2.30. If you've got a calculator handy or are not an idiot, you know that does not equate to $70. it's actually $92). Are you fucking kidding me? Granted this might be enough to sustain a poor diet of a non active individual, but someone who crossfits AND is paleo? Get the fuck out of here.

I'm no where close to this, but her claim intrigues me. So as much as I possible can, I'm going to approximate the cost of everything I eat starting Monday, Day 7 of 81. To give you an idea, I just ate this, which cost me $2.50 and drank a cup of k-cups starbucks coffee, which cost approximately $.50. I'm already at 50% of her daily budget...and it's 8:44am.

Energy In
- see above for breakfast
- one protein and one side of pete's premade. looked like some sort of duck and celery. It was bag #9 (roasted chick with braised celery and 5-spice sweet potatoes (when you add +1 side of veggies, you'd think it'd be one of the items listed, but not it's random (see mushroom broccoli below))).
- jg's chicken w salsa and taco sauce.
- the other protein and remaining two sides look like this:


Energy Out
-Split Jerk 858 progression 4/4/3/3/3. 95/115/145/165/185(f) missed the 185 but definitely bit off more than I could chew considering this was the first time I jerked in about a month. 165s even felt shaky. I need to get used to being under weight again.

-attempted (failed) flight simulator 10-20-30-40-50-40-30-20-10 unbroken double unders. I hit 30 and got stuck. stopped at the self imposed 5 minute time cap.
