TUES 01.22.13 10 DAYS TO GO!

I broke

That’s right. I gave in. I enjoyed a not-so-paleo brunch on Sunday, complete with two Irish coffees. And do I regret it? Not one bit. I’m working on putting less guilt/stress on myself. I had 20 days of strict paleo in there, and I won’t revert back to the gluttonous Holiday Lis I turned into for a few weeks back in December. Okay, today when I saw my bloated belly rather than those abs I was working on, YES! THEN I regretted it a little.
So WHY did I fold, you ask?
Last week, I meet with Anna, the Ayurveda consultant doing a workshop here in a few weeks, about some personal issues I’m having and how to achieve some balance in my life. She recommended that I go a little easier on myself, and until I work through some things, stop depriving myself or going to any “extremes”… this means taking a break from typical INTENSE CrossFit WODs in exchange for some more moderate activities. And it means relaxing my diet.
The science of Ayurveda encourages regular cleanses or detoxes, similar to the Whole 30… just nothing so extreme right in the dead of winter (or summer for that matter). So those of us working toward 30 days of strict paleo this month kind of have the moon & stars stacked against us, so to speak.
If you’ve already come this far, I’m not telling you to quit – just trying to explain why this time around & this time of year might be a little tougher to stick to a cleanse or a strict diet, when it’s gloomier outside and temperatures are colder than usual.
So who’s still staying strong? Wayne? Stella? Jason? DLP? 10 DAYS LEFT! Let us know who we can cheer to the finish!

    I'm still on the paleo wagon – off the alcohol wagon but hanging in there. Good for you Lis, plus I can't imagine how much better you feel now that you have an amazing…plug…Herman Miller Aeron Task Stool to sit in!
