From Jan 1 – 31 I’m doing a strict paleo (slightly modified Whole30) challenge with my CrossFit box. I decided to journal the month in food on here (in addition to normal posting) after getting a huge positive response on my Facebook page. I’m also going to detail the amount of sleep I got, the workout for the day and any other relevant notes. I’ll only detail drinks when it’s something other than water or tea, but note that I typically drink 80-100 ounces of water a day. I’ll link to recipes (either mine or other people’s) when applicable, but I don’t usually cook from recipes for myself so if you leave a comment asking for the recipe for something, there is none unless otherwise noted.

Notes for the day:

Found this today and spent way too much time laughing my ass off at the truth in so many of the posts. If you identify with paleo at all, I promise you’ll be amused. 1 week left in this challenge as of today and I’m eager to finish it out strong and see where things stack up compared to the beginning of the month (weight, body fat, benchmark wod-wise). I’m not expecting much change, but I am super curious. I also have tons of thoughts on the whole thing and have mentally written my recap post about 10 times. So for all those who have been asking my thoughts…it’s coming.
