Rest Day

Mid-week and time for some nutritional results.  Some are feeling a bit off and adjusting habits to not grab that “go-to” food in the event of hunger.  Breaking these habits has been easy for some and not so much for others.

Deciding what to eat and what is available to us is also a challenge for some of us.  We have many great resources right under out noses.  The recipes are being shared, funny stories being told, and some successes as well.  I have heard many interesting ideas from Khris, Angie, Pacie,  and Lisa to name a few.

Successes?  Here are a few results after one week for a few folks who have really committed to eating paleo foods: five pound weight loss and three inch loss; four pounds after losing 20 pounds since December 30.  The impressive thing about these two stories is that it all occurred by changing food choices. Our workouts have been the same mixture of fun and suck since….well, since we started.

Some of us are not looking for weight loss.  This is where your photo’s will come in handy.  Make sure you took pictures front, back, and side so you can compare at the end of the challenge.  This may be the only way to notice if you have gotten leaner.  Some of you may gain weight by adding lean muscle.  Pictures and the body mass test we did with Dr. Bojar will tell our story.

And performance?  We performed workouts and recorded our times and weights as a benchmark for progress.

And remember that during our six weeks, we are eating clean based on our challenge outline.  After the six weeks we can add some of the things we think we can’t live without.  We may find out when the challenge concludes that we enjoy a lot more foods than when we began this short journey.  However, I’m pretty sure I can’t live without dark chocolate…in another month or so.

Keep having fun and let us know how you are progressing.  Kill your Coward.
