rx strict- I've been eating paleo for the past 6months, though during the challene I've been much more strict. I haven't noticed a drop in weight or any changes in my body since we began, but I think I'm stronger.
fell off the wagon a little while on mini-vacation friday/saturday with 2 pumpkin beers (they were pumpkin - doesn't that make them paleo?) and a few superfluous glasses of wine. a la amanda, i've been eating mostly paleo for over a year. during this challenge, i've focused on fine-tuning that last 10% of food (alcohol mostly) that i normally eat which isn't paleo and i've really seen/felt results. feeling strong!
I had an accidental cheat meal yesterday, so that's 3 of my cheat meals used. I have two left but I'm hoping not to use them. I tend to feel really crappy after I have one. I'm feeling great, for the most part. Stronger and I definitely have more energy. I started doing modified Paleo at the beginning of August (still having cheese, half and half and the occasional whole wheat pasta) so it hasn't been a drastic change for me, just much more strict during the challenge. I lost some weight in August when I started but unfortunately I don't think I've lost much beyond that. I want to continue after the challenge but am contemplating doing something that might make me lose more weight.
rx strict. with the exception of two days in october i have been strict during the challenge. i have been eating similar to this for a long time- no grains, no sugars.. so i dont feel that different. I do notice however, if i have days when i eat the paleo stuff made with almond flour or coconut milk that i tend to gain weight.
rx-strict. i think i need another challenge to really commit 100%- it's a process- january? i have done very well with the food overall but not the alcohol. feel fitter- i guess- could all be in my mind. i will continue with the paleo way. also need to run more. ALWAYS sore too- but aren't we supposed to be?
Rx Strict. Been eating paleo somewhat when I started, since the challenge it's been strictly Paleo. I've lost ~30 lbs since I started Crossfit(201->171). Now I wanna focus on technique, then more weight to get fit. Nights are the most challenging... I stay up way late and can't snack. Just drink my water and dream of food.
rx - strict. I feel good since starting the challenge and will probably continue with some form of the diet after it's over. Although I may need to sneak some bread in because it is killing me.
Scaled - had a cheat meal for dinner last night - family birthday get together. The past four weeks have been my first experience with Paleo. In general, cutting the grains & sugars isn't as hard as I expected (expected for the candy corn crash earlier this month!) Embarrassed to say it, but the hardest part has definitely been the wine. I don't think I've exceeded the weekly allowance for scaled (except for last weekend in New Orleans), but I hate loggin' in each day that I had yet another glass of wine. Overall, I've lost about 5lbs and feel good. I imagine I'll stick with the scaled version going forward.
RX strict - going well and seeing some results, I feel like I've had better workouts and have more energy during them. Don't really know if it's all due to paleo or a change of my mentality during workouts...probably a mix of both.
I had some parties last week and it was NOT good at all (I cheated) but I am back - RX strict without dessert/drinks allowance. I have lost 8 pounds since I started CrossFit (Sept10th). I don't miss sugar/chocolate/dessert (what is a big surprise for me) but I miss soy and chick peas.
Rx strict... Four weeks in and feeling sore but good.
ReplyDeleteRx strict- I agree with Emily- feel sore, but good. Will probably continue Paleo after the challenge.

ReplyDeleteRx Strict. Feel good, but a little tired/sore from the weight training. Saying that, I definitely feel stronger!

ReplyDeleteScaled - cheated at the same bday dinner last night as Deb. So far, the scaled Paleo's been fine. May stick with it after the last two weeks are up.
