Hey Paleo Party People!
Today is Day 30 of the 60 Day Challenge!! Way to go! How IS it going? I know Sheila, Christina and I have been whining and complaining about not losing ANY weight (some of us actually GAINED weight, that wasn't muscle)! WTF? I know it wasn't the beer. Had to be something else!! I do have to say that I am still seeing improvements in my performance (runs, tri's and WOD's). I am continually chipping away at my overall times and don't feel as crappy. Yesterday, I cut over a minute off of Helen, as prescribed! :D
Remember to weigh yourself and do your WOD's again (if you want to check your progress)- Fran, Max Deadlift, and the MetCon one. Record your numbers in the notebook and let us know how it goes.
Good luck to you and feel free to vent and/or offer suggestions.
Stick with it. Your body will eventually thank you.

Half way! I am so happy I still have 30 days left. The first 30 was like the first date, not sure what you can get away with. I definately had my challenges and adjustments. By no means am I ready to hook up with FRAN yet, let alone the MetCon that has Barf all over it. I plan to button down the hatches here at the half way point and be more serious and committed. Kinda need to treat it like a recovery program, one day at a time or even one meal at a time. Planning is a major help.
ReplyDeleteI have notice alot; Eating clean feels so much better, the next day after a cheat meal, because the pain from a cheat day is awful, does not feel so good. Much better sleep. I do feel stronger, yet during a WoD it is not the weight that I struggle with it is the Cardio. Have I lost weight? no idea will not step on the scale until day 60 at the end of the challenge, but do feel like i have. biggest improvement is strengh just need the cardio to catch up. I wonder if it is maybe a lack of fats. I tend to stay away from those to make sure i lose the lbs. So far I enjoy the foods, again planning is the key. Had the Burgundy Walnut Beef Roast from The Paleo Diet book with a salad. Is Vinegar in or out? Might need to find a different salad dressing.
Anyways I feel good. just glad I dont have to see FRAN for another 30 days.
Hope everyone is doing well.
Ken, I noticed you do look good! I'm using vinegar in my salad dressing. I think it is fine. I agree with you that most of us are feeling better and sleeping better. Those cravings are not as intense.
ReplyDeleteI did step on the scale and whined and complained for a day, so I e-mailed our "Master teacher" Robb Woff. Here was his response to me. Not too many nuts, run only 2 days a week, make sure to get in heavy days, stay off the scale. Try to PR a benchmark like "Helen."
Anyway, let's keep at it. Ken, I'll see Fran tomorrow, glad I don't have the run/row for 30 days!!! Did make small gain in the deadlift WOD (4 lb), and 7 sec on the run/row.
