Gracie diet

So like I said, I picked up the Gracie diet book at the seminar last weekend and have now read the book and am starting to follow the rules. The first rule (besides cutting out sweets and soda) is waiting the 4 1/2 hours between meals. I am also implementing having one fruit meal a day where one of my meals is just one fruit. Yesterday for breakfast I had like four bananas and this morning I had like four cutie tangerines. I do need to watch how often I have acidic fruits though. Should try to shoot for twice a week. Now waiting 4 1/2 hours between meals was super easy yesterday because I was so busy I was lucky to eat at all. Today I am home most of the day so that may take a little more discipline. I see a lot of water in my day. My hubby's diet may be a little trickier. He tends to skip breakfast and lunch and then try to pack 3000 calories into dinner. I did see him head out the door with two bananas so maybe that is a start. We both also had coffee with our breakfast but there is a no sugar rule which is fine for me because I use splenda. My husband drank his coffee black. eww gross. It is no surprise the Rorion Gracie's diet book is just as much about discipline as it is about the foods you eat. He recommends you quit eating when you are 80% full and talks about how you will have to give up some foods that you love but you are doing that to be healthier and a better fighter so just do it.

Ryron Gracie!!!

So Ryron Gracie was in town over the weekend and did seminars on Friday night and Saturday morning. It was awesome. He was hilarious and his fiance was there Friday night helping sell stuff. Now having ordered from the Gracie store a couple of times, I was all about not paying shipping for stuff and picked up the Gracie diet book. Hubby and I both want to compete (him much sooner than me) and I know the food you put in your body has a major affect on how your body preforms. I think I said in a previous post that a plate of pasta can render me unconscious. Anywho back to Ryron and his fiance Victoria Parsons. She was in town with the Nuclear Cowboyz and she was just stinkin adorable. Friday night I was running registration and she was sitting behind the merchandise table so for the two hours the guys were actually doing the seminar, we were pretty bored. Being not exactly shy and a bit of a talker, I went over and talked to her a bit. Sweetest-thing-eva! I think there is a video of her on youtube showing some women empowered moves with Ryron. Let me see if I can find it.......



So I did get lots of pictures from the seminars including a kids class where my two oldest got to do a bullyproof class with Ryron. It was awesome. They were starstruck because they see him on the videos and then there he was all giant like. I haven't actually seen the pictures yet. They are sitting on my desk inside my camera screaming to get out. This has been the busiest weekend ever and I have some schoolwork that I absolutely have to get done but then I will try to post some pictures.
