Paleo pancakes >>> regular ones

In light of my renewed focus on nutrition, I thought it would be a horrible idea to fall into the tried and true tradition of Easter brunch at one of the many restaurants in Austin.  Instead, I invited a few friends over for an attempt at Paleo Easter.  On the menu:

• Paleo pancakes, courtesy of the Performance Menu
• Scrambled eggs
• Bacon!
• Lemon tarts, also courtesy of the Performance Menu (see earlier post)

All in all, the paleo pancakes pretty much rocked.  We messed around with various toppings: dark chocolate chips in the pancakes (awesome), raspberry topping (awesome), heavy whipped cream topping (awesome again)… all three combined, amazing.  Ryon did an awesome job with the eggs and bacon; I screwed up the flipping of the first couple pancakes, and handed that job over to Ryon, who then rocked it.

I did my first intermittent fast from 5pm Saturday through 1pm Sunday… about 20 hours.  I even ran 5k Sunday morning, while still fasting!  I can say that my performance didn’t degrade at all, I just need to remember to drink a lot more water.  I think I’m going to start a weekly IF protocol, just not sure which day — in true CrossFit style, I’m going to keep it interesting and just fast whichever day seems most appropriate.

Today’s WOD: run 5k. 22:02, PR.
