So We are entering week 2 of the challenge and as you all know I am doing as well to try and hit those bigger goals I thought were out of reach for me. I feel great so far and to be honest notice changes everyday in my physique and the way my body feels as small as they may be. In the last week, I have managed to be sleeping better, my energy levels are more regulated. I have managed to keep my sensitive stomach under control, and my tummy (my problem area) seems to be getting a lil flatter everyday, and I am more vascular. It is interesting if you are in tune with your body and what you are putting in it you can see what a huge impact nutrition has.
As far as my performance goes, I have managed to sustain 2 workouts a day at the very least 3-4 days a week and my strength is going up. Today after not deadlifting for a while I managed to do an easy set of 3 at 80% of my 1RM with 215lbs tap and go. That is good for me! My head is so in the right place right now alot due to having my Nutrition and workouts dialed and a great support system. I encourage all of you doing the Challenge to create a team or a support system in which you can help motivate each other and help reach your goals. As well as have people to do burner WOD's with, and share recipes. The more you can wrap your mind around this and have a attainable goal you will see great results!
As far as cooking goes this week I have been on a cooking kick since I got my Everyday Paleo Cookbook. I have been to the store I think 3 times since last Friday getting fun ingredients to make some great Paleo Recipes. Most of which will be posted later, Stay Tuned!! I have made 4 or more things out of the cookbook, all have been really good! Eating Paleo has opened up my creative side to cooking, I am constantly trying to recreate a Paleo version of something or tweak certain recipes with my crazy randomness. If you are struggling try and think outside the box a bit and be creative! Try new recipes, new fruits, veggies, and oils. Make it a goal to try one new thing each week.
