Piling on the Paleo and the Praxis!

After my 3 week stint in Texas working, I came back to Santa Fe out of shape, out of wind and ready to get back to the Dance with Who Brung Me....

Clean eating with lots of lean proteins, veggies and fruit like...

Ahi Tuna, sweet onions, hatch chiles, red bell peppers, jalapenos, squash and zucchini with a salsa of mango, fuji apple, red onion, jalapeno and basil / mint / cilantro garnish.

Continuing to test the new knee doing 4 rounds of 6 reps of deadlifts with a 205# finish.

And a nice 2 - 5 min AMRAP of:

1st 5 min of 10 Push Presses with 115# and 15 KB swings with 55# KB's

2nd 5 mins of 10 pullups and 10 24" Box Jumps

Box Jumping with a Total Knee Replacement?!*&!

You betcha.... it ain't the jumping that's the issue....

It's the landing.....

So land soft on the top of the box and step down from it....

Yeah - that's the ticket!

Cast Iron Skillet grilled thin-cut bone-in Pork Chop over eggs and sauted Baby Bellas with fresh onion and Basil Garnish.

Meat - Fruit - Cheese.....

Pork Chop, Fuji Apple, Brie / Smoked Gouda / Pecorino Romano cheeses.

If Dimeback Darrell hadn't been killed on stage in a Texas bar..... 

Pantera would likely have been the greatest Metal Band of all time!

Pork Chop with a Hot Sweet Mustard / Srirach coating and Salad with blueberries and strawberries.

Where I Wannabe....

Where I Hav2B!

Today's Partner Challenge.

21 minutes of Grab Your Ass and Get It!

Followed by a Saturday Feast....

With the Usual Veggie Suspects!

With seasoned Rockfish fillets on decks with sliced squash and zucchini.

Hmmm..... think I'll have a little Creatine - Fresca - Wine Spritzer with fresh lime and mint!

Out come the "Hard" veggies - in go the squash and zucchini.

As soon as they come out - hit 'em with a drizzle of balsamic and EVOO and a garnish of chopped cilantro.

Rockfish fillet with a covering of cast iron skilled sauted mango and fuji apple and accompanied by the vegetable medley.

There's no question - my lifestyle is easier maintained in Santa Fe NM than Centerville Tx.....

But there are some things you WannaDo and some things you Hav2Do.....

Life is about Balance.

I'm getting mine right now.
