I am back from my week-long road trip and it was so much fun but soooo bad. Like I said before, it's so hard eating Paleo on the road and on trips in general. It doesn't help that my friends are not Paleo so they just ate whatever pleased them. I must admit, I did cave in a couple times....
This trip was definitely a test for the upcoming holidays and I have to say, watch out kids- IT'S HARD to stay on track! As the holiday season rapidly approaches us, I would suggest practicing and preparing for all the temptations that are to come. Make sure you maintain your goals and stay strong. If you're going out of town, visit other CrossFit boxes. Surrounding yourself with other crossfitters will help you stay focused and keep up with your workouts too! Tell your friends and family what you're doing and make sure they understand so hopefully they'll remember not shove pumpkin pies and other goodies in your face. I think the main key is to not even give in ONCE because once you start, it's all downhill from there.
Those are just a few things I learned about Paleo on vacation and now that I've seen how easily you can fall off track, I will face the next break with much more of an effort. Will you be able to face those holiday temptations????
ALSO, DON'T FORGET!!
PALEO POT LUCK PARTY THIS SATURDAY!!!!

Geez so Saturday I finally experienced proper drinking while implementing this lifestyle diet change. Only 2 shots and 3 drinks somehow caused to me to have a hangover similar to an all night pub crawl! Unbelievable.
Dayo - one of my favorite "Desserts" is Warm Almond Butter with raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. It's a Paleo PB&J!
ReplyDeleteI was bad this weekend for 2 meals. Oh the shame! Today is much better.
Started snacking on dried plums - very yummy! Anyone going to the 6pm class tonight?
I'm pretttty excited about the potluck :) My friend is going to be in town so I'm going to bring here anddddd COCONUT SHRIMP (from everyday paleo).. :)
