'On a Mission' Challenge - Starting today.

9/12/12
So I've made it through my first 30 days of paleo.  It was rough and towards the end I definitely cheated more than I should have but I feel much better than I did before I started the paleo diet.  I really love it, but it takes planning to really make it work.  Maybe I cheated because I didn't plan well enough the last two weeks because I was so crazy busy.  But 8 lbs down in one month, I love that.  My clothes are fitting better, especially my jeans.  My skin is clearer.  I feel happier.  And when I do cheat, let me tell you, my body tells me I've done a bad thing!!  I also get full much quicker than before.  Even when I did cheat, I'd get not even half way through my meal and I'd feel full....like overly full, about ready to pop full.  I need to stick with it and cut out the grains again. 

Last night I went out to a Mexican place in celebration of my new car.  :)  So happy about it.  It's a 2008 Saturn VUE.  I kinda feel like I have a grown up car now.  haha.  So anyway, I did eat chips.  :/  BUT for my meal, I ordered grilled shrimp.  It came with rice and beans but I asked for none of that and sub in grilled veggies.  It was delicious.

Down another 8 lbs in the next 30 days?  Let's see if i can do it.  I'm challenging myself to stick with this and absolutely NO grains in the next 30 days.  What better time to start than NOW.  Call me out if I've cheated.  I CAN do this.  There are much harder things in life than no grains.  This next year, I will get in the best shape of my life with the help Whole 9/Paleo Diet and Jennifer Nicole Lee workouts.

My 'On a Mission' Challenge:


9-12-12 to 10-12-12

NO grains - NO wheat and all processed foods made with wheat or wheat flour, rye and all processed foods made with rye, barley, rice, oats and corn.  So no more tortilla chips at Mexican restaurants, no more rice with Chinese food.

Exercise at least 4 days a week - Hopefully more, but that is the minimum.  Follow Jennifer Nicole Lee's Fitness Model workouts.  Make sure get to get full body workouts each month.

80% paleo 20% non paleo minimum.  Meaning little to no sugar, no candy unless it's dark chocolate with 85% cocoa, little to no dairy or whole fat milk (use almond milk or coconut milk substitute when possible).  Eat lots of veggies, fruits, meats and nuts!

I've got this!
