We're one month into the challenge, and I've hit a slump. And I won't name names, but I know I'm not the only one at the gym who's feeling it. Why did I ever think a 30-day paleo challenge would be difficult? Piece of cake compared to this marathon.
Dietwise, I thought I'd been good. Okay, maybe I'd pushed a little on my corn tortilla allowance. Maybe I treated myself twice in one week to delicious bready goodness. But I didn't think I was that off track until I got a message from Will on my food log with the subject line: "Whoa!" Yikes. You don't want to see that from your coach. Yes, it's been a slog this past week. Meal planning has fallen by the wayside. The kid ate Gordon's fish sticks for dinner on Monday. I had to stop at Starbucks for breakfast. So I need to get myself back on track with the diet, but I haven't been that bad.
In terms of workouts, it's just the opposite. I've worked out a lot this week, hard workouts four days in a row, including some two-a-days. It beat me up. Today, I was totally exhausted. I need to schedule more recovery days and remember that rest is just as important as exercise.
I'm looking forward to month two. Lots of good stuff happening including a CrossFit competition. I've avoided weighing myself or doing any interim measurements, but I'm going to post my new measurements shortly and hopefully, I'll have seen some improvement.
you're doing fine...I just tried to get you before you went too far. Like this says...maybe your a little too liberal, and I think that is what you needed to hear...maybe I over reacted. I think your doing fine.
