Tuesday - Friday, January 24th - 27th
Poor Internet connection and worse diet this week. will be shocked if I didn't gain weight this week. I attended a boring training class this week with lots of pastries and desserts available. I got bored and tempted and I ate a bunch of crap. When I start eating crap I tend to continue to eat poorly instead of getting back on track.
Tuesday
Breakfast: eggs and bacon
Lunch: chicken wings
Snack: cookies and brownie
Dinner: fried chicken livers, slaw
Wednesday
Breakfast: eggs and sausage
Lunch: steak burrito
Snack: cookies
Dinner: ribs, brisket, slaw, fries, corn muffin
Thursday
Breakfast: eggs and bacon
Snack: muffin
Lunch: same box lunch as Tuesday, including chips and cookie
Snack: muffin
Dinner: pork chops, mashed potatoes, two beers
Friday
Breakfast: eggs bacon and sweet roll
Lunch: Chinese buffet
Snack: snickers
So I made it less then a month a went completely off the rails. Normally this is where I give up, hopefully this is where the fact I'm logging will help.

Update: 246 lbs, -4 this week and -19 total

Diet:
Breakfast: egg bake
Snack: almonds
Lunch: chicken stuffed peppers. I was literally in the process of warming this up when I got the call about the wreck. I got back to it 2 hours later.
Dinner: Pork and broccoli Chinese takeout. Home cooking wasn't happening at our place this evening. The sauce they put on it wasn't exactly paleo, but still a better choice than I normally make for Chinese.
Dessert: small bowl of sliced almonds, blue berries, with melted coconut oil stirred in. It's a good combo, oil sets up quickly and leaves a "coconut glaze".

Breakfast: egg bake

snack: almonds
Dinner: Date night at an itlalian place we hadn't tried, it was good. calamarhi, steak, green beans, asparagus. The calamahri was lightly breaded. The most "grains" I've eaten so far.
Went out to eat twice today, but I think I made solid selections for the most part.
Exercise: 20 minutes walking on the treadmill before breakfast. It has to be really nasty to pick that over taking Kiah on a walk. Besides the waking up early part I really enjoy my predawn walks with her. I hate the treadmill.

Monday January 9th
Diet:
Breakfast: egg and sausage scramble
Snack: almonds
Lunch: beanless chili and broccoli slaw (not being as "thrifty" as dad I threw the super salty batch away and started over).
Snack: almonds and a few blue berries.
Dinner: pulled chicken barbecue and broccoli slaw.
Post workout snack while watching the BCS game: turkey lunch meat and almonds.
Exercise:
Walked 2 miles with Kiah before breakfast.
Press 107.5# x5+5+9 (press = standing military press)
Squat: 205# x5+5+10
I do warmup sets, but I'm not including those.
For weight lifting I'm going to squat, dead lift, press, and bench press. I will squat twice for every one time I dead lift. I will alternate between the press and bench press. I was very inconsistent exercising in the second half of last year. When I was regular at the end of 2010, beginning of 2011 I got my squat to 300#, press to 135#, and bench to 200# all for 3x5. I didn't dead lift consistently even when I was working out regularly. I maxed that out at 320# for 1x5. I'd like to surpass those numbers this year, but not sure how that will go while trying to loose lots of weight. It will be interesting.
Sheila was sick today so I ended up coming home at 9:30 and hanging with the boys. Who would have guessed Christy's Ikea table set would be our biggest trouble making present?
Level 1 trouble = dance on chair
level 2 trouble = dance on table
level 3 trouble = dance on chair that's on table
Level 3 has been attempted but was caught in time. Level 4 is only a matter of time, after all there are two chairs.

No early morning walk today, I definitely have a bug. Runny nose, sore throat, and body ache.
Diet:
Breakfast: egg bake and bacon.
Lunch: Pork barbecue and broccoli slaw.
Snack: Beef jerky
Dinner: turkey sloppy joe mix on a salad and almonds.
Broccoli slaw was a failure. My normal slaw dressing has sugar so I looked up a paleo recipe. Way, way too much salt.
Forgot to mention I'm also stopping my multiple time per day diet soda habit. Not giving it up completely, just not going to have it around the house or pack in my lunch.

Robb Wolf (Paleo Diet author) and Mark Sisson (Primal Blueprint author) both suggest a lifting heavy weights, doing as much "low speed" cardio as possible, and sprinting occassionally. Low speed cardio is walking pace type stuff, just being up and active. I think Crossfit workouts would fall under the "sprinting" categorgy for me. I haven't decided what form my sprinting workouts will take, I'll layer that in later.
I started today with low speed cardio. Kiah and I walked two miles before breakfast. We both get some exercise and she annoys Sheila less during the day.
Diet:
Breakfast: Egg bake (eggs, sausage)
Snack: 2 oz peanuts
Lunch: Pork and peppers.
Dinner: chicken fajita on lettuce
Snack: almonds and 2 pieces of bacon
Was feeling the lower blood glycogen this evening. my brain is in a bit of a fog.

I finished my summer doing AO! at White Sulphur Springs weighing under 200 lbs. I ended 2011 at a peak of 265. I want to lose weight and a lot of it. My goal is 50 pounds.
I'm going to document my diet and exercise here. I'm committing to keep an honest record for the next year. My hope is that you'll help with accountability, advice, recipes, etc... Check in every once in a while and leave comments. Ask me what's going on if I stop posting.
Plan for starting:
Diet: Low carb, pretty paleo
Exercise: Low intensity cardio at least 2 hours a week. Heavy weight lifting at least twice a week.
