CJT1217's Journal, 10 September 2012

So Mark's Daily Apple is doing a 21 day primal challenge. I think I'm going to give it a shot to get me back on the wagon. I've been slacking off too much and giving in too often to indulgences. It's a pretty simple challenge if one has some sort of discipline.

Rules are simple-

Food Plan:
1. Eat plenty of meat, fish, poultry, eggs, veggies, nuts/seeds, and healthy fats.
2. Eat fruit, dairy, dark chocolate, and drink alcohol in moderation (I'm already loving the rules haha!).
3. Avoid grains, beans/legumes, added sugar, unhealthy fats.

Fitness Plan:
1. Lift Heavy Things; 2 body weight strengthening training workouts a week.
2. Low Level Aerobic Activity: 3-5 hours easy moving each week
3. Sprint: 1 all out effort each week

The challenge...

With my foot acting up, I'll have to avoid the sprint and maybe go as hard as I can on a stationary bike, which if you've taken a cycling class you know how brutal that can be. So, I figure that this could be a fun challenge in the least and serve as the motivation I need to get back on it.

Looks right up your alley... I think the beans would be my only issue with my hummus, etc. Damn... otherwise I think it would just what I need.

Hey, why not throw it in anyway? Just do it in moderation. The basic guidelines are still really healthy and good for you ;) Since I've already committed to having some lowcarb tortilla BLTs, I wont omit my wraps. I'll go 100% on the rules tomorrow.

Awesome man. I'm doing 90% of that already. Need to do the sprinting and the heavy lifting part though.. shoulder issues make the lifting hard. Good luck man.

OOh ya, a crap shoulder sure can hinder things!

Hmmm - I already sort of do this type of diet - with a little fruit and a little dairy. Duh...who knew?

haha i know huh? I needed to reitterate what I've already been trying to stick with to get me back on point. I've gotten comfortble with fluctuating between 175 and 180, but I'd really like to be a touch leaner so hopefully by taking on an actual challenge, I can achieve this!
