Day 21

Insist on yourself. Never imitate. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

What's up everyone? Thanks for checking in on another day of the blog. I am exhausted, so I doubt the blog will be very long tonight. These 6am workouts really tire me out, but I definitely prefer them to the evening workouts. I am definitely not a morning person, but I get up in the morning, do 2 burpees to wake myself up, and then I'm off to Crossfit. It is a lot easier to sit through work knowing that you can go home and relax for the rest of the evening, and not have to worry about traffic and whether you'll make the workout on time.

There is talk of another 30 day challenge at my Crossfit gym, and I told them that I am in. I promised Megan that I'd take some time off of it, so we can eat normal for awhile, but then I want to start doing it again. I've had such good results, that I want to stick with it. I'll tell you what though, even when I'm "eating normal", I am still going to stick to mostly Paleo principles, and by that I mean eating fruits for snacks and having a lot of vegetables and lean meat. I think the only thing that will change is some of the spices and what not used to cook. They were absolutely right when they said that the 30 day challenge would be a lifestyle changer. As of now, I can't really see myself eating the crap I used to, just modifying the Paleo a little. Megan is a stickler for healthy eating regardless, so I know I'll still be eating well even when I'm not on the challenge.

Anyways, here is my lineup for the day:

Breakfast

4 Scrambled Eggs with Salsa

2 Chicken Sausage and Apple Links

Mixed Fruit with Pineapples and Grapes

Snack

Handful of Trail Mix

Lunch

Salad from Panera Bread that had all-natural, antibiotic-free chicken, romaine, strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, Mandarin oranges, pecans. I held off on the dressing, I just asked for extra chicken, and the fruit and chicken gave it enough taste

Snack

Handful of Trail Mix

Dinner

2 Pieces of Almond Crusted Tilapia (one of which I had a few bites with flour on it, I scraped all the crap off of the other one. I accidentally cheated and I'm not happy about it)

Veggie Mix with Zucchini, Mushrooms, and Brussel Sprouts

Thanks for checking out the blog again. Come back tomorrow for the blog again, Megan has a great dinner planned, so I'm excited to report it.
