Day 7 of The Paleolithic Diet

I woke up today feeling fairly clean and energized. Slightly more than yesterday. By the time I got to the office, I had quite a bit of energy. But don't get me wrong, my stance on the cubicle farm remains the same. It will be interesting to see if I really feel like working out later today.

I've noticed the past couple of days that I have had what seem to be the symptoms of a looming sore throat. Its just that sort of sticky, itchy/scratchy type feeling. My guess is that this is another detox symptom. I'm also suddenly really tired right now as well. Maybe the gym won't be such a good idea tonight......

*time passing*

Nope....I went to the gym anyway.....and it was a GREAT idea! I felt really good. Today I did some weight training. The intensity was about 80% all the way through and I was able to maintain that level. Here's the details:

3 Supersets Of
Step Ups with 45lb plates in each hand Set 1: 12 reps each leg Set 2: 10 Reps Set 3: 8 Reps
Plyometric Push Ups Set 1: 10 Set 2: 12 Set 3: 8, then till 20 regular

2 Supersets Of (all exercises all the way through, without rest)
