And so the saga continues...I entered myself into the 2nd paleo challenge at CrossFit Omaha. Before I started, I felt much more confident about doing it than the first time I did the challenge. I thought it was going to be easier to transition myself to this lifestyle again. I thought, "I've done it before, and I can do it again.
Well, I've already fallen off the wagon quite a few times in this super long first week. My 2nd week, which started on Sunday, has already included pizza, beer and pop. I'm convinced to do a better job for the remainder of the challenge (3 1/2 weeks). I have to, I've done so poorly for the very first week!
In addition to not eating well, I haven't been getting enough sleep. My stress level with my kids is beyond its max, and there are so many other things to do at home and at work.
My goal for the next 3 1/2 weeks is to plan, plan, plan my meals! If I don't plan ahead, I find myself eating crap and feeling like it too. Also, I'm going to try my best to reduce stress in any way possible. School is almost out (5 more days!) and that will diminish quite a bit of my stress. Who am I kidding? That will diminish about 90% of my stress! I love my to do lists and hopefully that will help get things done and help me feel organized and ready.
So hopefully the last 3 1/2 weeks will go better than it has been going. I just need to stay focused and like I said, plan! I've got the working out thing down, I just need to get the whole eating clean thing down. Wish me luck!
