I'm changing up my video series this year. I'm going to try and provide you with exercises that will help your body while you are working out with your regularly scheduled work outs.
We are into week four of the 30 Day Paleo Challenge.
I think I'm finally getting the hang of it. It's not easy and it's not for everyone. It takes a real commitment and support. I'm not sure how well I would be doing without the online support.
We are still working with new recipes and actually taking the time to plan our meals and focus on the ingredients and hopefully this will work out a lot better this week. I'm still on the injured list but have been cleared for upper body work, nothing over head, swimming and walking. I guess that is something. I've seen some real changes but I wish I was working out like everyone else to see more results. I guess it's just not my time and I have to be patient. I'm obviously NOT running the 1/2 in two weeks. I'm trying to just let that go and be at peace with it. It's not my time.
Pros: Not losing but just maintaining the weight loss, still trying new recipes, better planning, more cooking on Sundays! We had two crock pots going. Then we ate the fish for dinner. I don't eat fish. Well I guess I do now. I think that is one of the perks of Paleo, it strips your body and your pallet and you just start eating all sorts of things. My husband is getting involved in the grocery shopping, recipe hunting and cooking process. It's very helpful!

Cons: My Twitter feed is still filled with twitpics of things that I'm resisting on a daily basis! I'm having actual body pain from having to stand in the kitchen so long. It might not be so bad but this injury paired with standing for long periods of time is NOT good for me. It hurts.

Due to your I jury, I think the timing of this challenge has been good for you! It definitely give you something to focus on, in spite of standing. And I do agree, I think your palate adjusts. Fish is good!
You can do this. Just breathe and take it one day at a time. have a good week.
Injuries are so frustrating! Ugh. You're right though, it isn't your time. When it is, you will rock it for sure! (I know, some consolation when your activity is limited)
I am really impressed with your commitment to the Paleo diet. That is one thing that has kept me from joining it (my brother is a huge Paleo fan) is the planning.
Hang in there and keep up the good work! I will be rooting for you when your race comes!

You have peaked my interest in Paleo, I just don't think the DH would be on board. Hope that you are recovering well and will be able to get back to challenging us all soon.
Great job keeping up with the paleo!! I kinda wish I had done this challenge with you too. My husband's been having stomach trouble and i'm thinking it might be from the junk we eat. I'm thinking about trying paleo out for a week to see if that helps. I hope you feel better soon!!
