The CrossFit Chicago Paleo Challenge has officially begun! This is a 45-day nutrition challenge/contest at the gym based on the Paleo Diet (http://www.thepaleodiet.com/faqs). There are 2 divisions and you get placed on a team of 3 for extra motivation. I'm doing the weight-loss division (there is also a Performance Division for athletes who want to increase their fitness & workouts). Tomorrow I do my weigh-in & body-fat percentage measurement/analysis....not really looking forward to seeing what the % is....
I'm committing to eating Paleo as much as possible and limiting my alcohol to just a few occasions during the contest. I found some interesting recipes to try and am excited to see how much I can change my body in 45 days. I know I need to increase my workouts, so I will be doing 4 days CF and 1-2 workouts for the Endurance. I have signed up for 3...yes 3 races (5k) between now & Thanksgiving. The first one is this Sunday.
After a week on vacation, lots of wine & Mexican food, my body is ready to get back on track. I went to the grocery store & loaded up on fresh veggies, fish & lean protein. So, here we go!
