Paleo challenge: day 7

From Jan 1 – 31 I’m doing a strict paleo (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:

1 week down! Can’t say I feel much different. It’s funny because most of the people at my box seem to have experienced some sort of “carb flu” in the first few days but I haven’t felt the least bit different over the past week. Guess that means I was eating pretty well beforehand.

Sleep:

9 hours

CrossFit (modified again. A pyramid wod of running, hollow rock holds, lunges, pistols & russian twists)
