So here are some of the differences I noticed...
Grains - Paleo NO, Zone OK
Cheese and dairy -Paleo NO, Zone OK
Bean - Paleo NO, Zone OK
Soy (bean)- Paleo NO, Zone OK
Bananas - Paleo OK, Zone - small qty
Peantus -Paleo NO, Zone OK
Cashews -Paleo No, Zone OK
I know some people prefer one or the other and have better results. It's difficult to combine the two different theories because of their differences but if I take the overlapping part of the two, I may be able to find something.
Compared to Paleo, Zone is less restrictive. What a change in perspective! But I know they focus on 2 distinctly different theories. I believe Paleo is oriented to eliminate or control our bodies from producing unwanted or unnecessary chemicals. Where the Zone Diet is to group foods so they are more effect for our bodies to obtain the correct nutrients and to keep the correct portions.
If anyone is doing the Paleo Diet, what are your breakfasts like? Is it just eggs and fruits?

Saturday's 8 mile run from the Rose Bowl was great from an aesthetic point of view. I was really blown away with the view and the stag that jumped out 15 feet in front of me. WOW! Yup I'm just a city girl.
What I realized pretty early on last week, was that I shouldn't and can't run that many days. My legs felt weak on Thursday. I knew taking Friday off so I could do the 8 miles on Saturday wasn't enough time off. But oh well. I did it anyways. I really should have done crossfit on Thursday to give my legs a rest from all that pounding. Once again-oh well.
I just couldn't resist the route on Saturday and I wanted to get my legs used to going that distance.
So Eric's voice is in my head constantly telling me I should do speedwork, I shouldn't do so many running days, but should do crossfit. That the training that I'm doing could lead to injuries. Work on nutrition. Junk miles are counter productive (my Thursday run). Lift my knee when I run and lean. No heal striking. Quick feet. See I do listen, but there is a difference between listening and doing. Hmmm anything else?
Mental checklist - I will get back to working on nutrition (back to getting rid of carbs like breads). Running form will be worked on tonight. And I'm going to limit my runs to only 2 a week (depending on bootcamp workouts). If BC includes speedwork, do I count that as a running day? I will then constantly have to reevalute my workouts.
