No lying — boot camp is not as fun when its friggin freezing outside. I find that I have to remind myself that once I get going — I will be feeling the heat and the cold won’t bother me. It’s just the time between that that’s rough. Also the cold generally means less people at the Monday camp. The combo of the dark, cold and Monday = small boot camp crowd!
Not bragging but this Halloween I ate ZERO candy. I committed to at least 2 weeks of Paleo and I am not going to screw it up and I had no desire to eat any. Is there something wrong with me???
Today marks day 12 of Paleo and I am down 5lbs overall. I am happy and all but I was hoping for a larger number. Does that make me greedy? It could be bc of some of my own modifications too, like drinking the 8oz milk with my protein power in the early AM and my cream and sweetener in my coffee. I want to lose 5-7 more lbs total — so I have my eye on the prize that’s for sure. I am feeling great – more energy, mentally alert, less fatigue and haven’t felt hungry or deprived at all. That’s my kind of eating. I think one of the things I am always leery of any eating program is that I will be starving the entire time. In truth – I really don’t eat that much to begin with so I have really thought for a long time that it was WHAT i was eating, not how much. So that has been the most frustrating part of my entire fitness/health journey. Doing the right things and still not really reaching the goal that I set.
My neighbor has been on a paleo like eating program for his ulcerative colitis for over a year now, and it has all but gotten rid of his issues — it really is just a common sense approach to eating if you stop and think about it. Pre-historic man did not have agriculture to cultivate the wheat and corn — but they did cut open a wild boar, gather nuts and berries, pick fruit and harvest veggies. No measuring, no figuring out %s –Can anyone tell me whether 5lbs is a good result for 12 days on Paleo?
