Good morning and happy Friday! As you may have figured out, if you've followed my posts at all, I am really into goal setting. For me, setting and achieving goals keeps me accountable and helps me maintain lifestyle changes. Today marks 30 days until my 27th birthday so I think it is a perfect day to get back to paleo, and back to my wellness goals. This time around I'm not going to step on the scale, in fact I am going to try and avoid it for the entire 30 days. I plan to monitor my progress with pictures and my measurements instead. As I've said before, I love experimenting to figure out how different ways of eating and working out effect my body. Thus far I've discovered that paleo and crossfit make me feel great, but crossfit definitely encourages my body to beef up. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it takes some getting used to. In the interest of further experimentation I want to maintain a diet of less than 100g of carbs/day 6 days a week, and then double that amount 1 day per week. This is a common practice with the theory being that doubling carbs, one day per week will boost metabolism. I've never tried it so I'm eager to see how it works for me. So here's the plan:
1. Clean, paleo eating for 30 days
2. 6 days/wk eat < 100g carbs/day, 1 day/wk double that amount
3. CrossFit 5 days/wk
4. sleep at least 7hrs/per night
I'd love to get back into yoga, but I have a ton on my plate right now so I don't want yoga to become something else I have to check off my list.
I'm really looking forward to this latest challenge and can't wait to see the results!
