Day 1.
Every day is day 1 isn’t it?
Anyway. This is day 1 of the 40 day challenge. I relaxed a bit over the weekend. I could tell you all the things I had that weren’t strictly paleo if you like? I did have a couple of drinks on Friday too and didn’t feel great for it, both Friday night and Saturday morning. Clearly I wasn’t used to the things I was consuming. After doing Fran at Train on Saturday I lost all interest in having a cheat weekend to be honest, why would I want to?
Coupled with reading this > beastmodaldomains.com/2011/09/28/my-take-on-nutrition-paleo-brownies-are-dumb/ (take away point – ‘ I don’t stress over what I eat. I just eat clean.’ Though there’s a heavy dose of swearing.) and I realised I needed to just be more sensible about my choices. I still don’t plan to eat processed food, especially sugary foods or grains but I will be occasionally using protein shakes and I’m going to occasionally dip into having some dairy. I was strict for the first 20 days of January and while I can do it, that’s not a reason. Instead just going to make sensible (as I see it) choices about what I eat and while it’s against the 40 day challenge. So be it.
Did some strength work today which was ok, though need to remember to stand up straight on the front squat more. I hope I don’t ache too much tomorrow…
