So I am entering into my 6th week of Paleo:)....minus the non-Paleo food that I am about to SMASH for the next three days. I am proud of myself becauseI never thought I could give up the things I worshipped such as candy, fried chicken, pizza, etc. for an entire month and a half and counting. I believe living the Paleo lifestyle has reaped so many benefits in my life. I am far more organized than I already was (super psycho neat freak Virgo here), my grocery shopping is uber simple, I am bright-eyed and bushy tailed throughout the day, I sleep much better, and I am getting FINE-er. lol. I measured myself today and since my last check in there is another 1/2 inch off my waist. So that is a total of 3.5 inches off the muffin top!
What kind of results are you guys seeing that make you happy? It doesn't have to be the trimming of the muffin top that vain ole me loves....are your WODs becoming quicker? Have health issues cleared up? Or if you just feel like a sexy beast that is alright too:) It doesn't matter what results you cherish so long as they continue to give you the motivation to push forward!
After Thanksgiving I plan on reverting to the 80/20% approach. Living the 100% Paleo lifestyle has shown me awesome results, but realistically I know it is not a lifestyle I can sustain forever. I need the occassional ham sammich....yes I said "sammich", or I would otherwise just go on a ham sammich eating binge. You guys would not want to find me in a corner in the fetal position crying and covered in ham scraps now would you? I know, I know...you find out I am more weird every week:(
Any hoot, let me hear your results! This is the time to pat yourself on the back for a job well done thus far and no one can judge you or say you are bragging:)
BTW....safe travels everyone! I am heading home to STL in a couple of hours....HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!
y'all have a good turkey day!
ReplyDeletei like the way i feel, work and perform, so ill stick to my 90/10 approach because now it is part of me.
yet, has anyone else noticed how quickly they get "fece-faced"? my tolerance is abismal, especially when i divulge and have a few cold ones.
Yatta - You post the most HYSTERICAL photos! I look forward to your clip art every Wednesday now!
ReplyDeleteI am most happy with my energy level and sleep pattern since starting a paleo-like lifestlye 4 months ago. I fall asleep at the same time every night and wake up easier. In addition, my energy is constant throughout the day (minus the occassional ridiculously BORING work meeting). Aesthetically, I am actually starting to see definition! Holy $&^%! Back muscles - I have always wanted back muscles. :) Lastly, tomorrow I am running the Turkey Trot - never been able to do run that far! Super excited and nervous! If anyone else is running the Trot and wants to meet up - let me know!
Safe travels to all!
*indulge,not divulge. it's one of those days. im not telling secrets while drinking, or maybe i am...maybe i am...
