Well, if you've been following along, you know that my last two self imposed challenges have been a total bust. I've been unmotivated lately. I have so many reasons that I want to lose weight and become a healthier version of myself. But how come none of them seem to be enough for me? What does a person have to do before they can start making a real change?
Some days I'm really on a role. I eat healthy, I go to Crossfit, I walk my dogs, I clean the house, I get extra work done at work... And then all of a sudden I'm on such a high from being so damn good that before I even realized what's happened, I'm chowing on fast food.
I don't understand.
I. Don't. Understand.
I've always wanted to go Paleo. No, that's wrong. I've not always wanted to go Paleo. But since I began Crossfitting, I've wanted to be able to be 100% Paleo. But Paleo is tough. Really, really tough. I learned of a concept that's similar to it but a little easier. It's called Primal. I ordered Mark's book The Primal Blueprint. Its good so far. And I want to do it. All of it. I want to be a Primal being.
So, I'm imposing another challenge. I want this. I really really want this. I begin imeediately, and will go as long as I can. The first obstical will be getting through the weekend. I am attending a 3 day disc doggin seminar and it will be filled with chips and soda and hot dogs. And bread.
My plan is simply to follow the 10 Primal Laws.
1) To eat lots of plants and animals
2) Avoid poisonous things
3) Move frequently at a slow pace
4) Lift Heavy things
5) Sprint once and a while
6) Get adequate sleep
7) Play
8) Get adequate sunlight
9) Avoid stupid mistakes
10) Use my brain
So basically, eat mostly fruits and vegetables and fish and chicken and meat, don't eat McDonalds and pizza and soda (all poisonous to my health!) walk the dogs extra, get my butt to Crossfit, run around, sleep, jam with my dogs and work in my garden, get outside, don't go rock climbing barefoot and without ropes (lol!) and to engage my brain often by reading more and taking more time for real activites and stepping away from the television.
This isn't a difficult regimine. It only requires that I stop being lazy. And I'm so lazy.
Um, by the way... I haven't been ignoring my blog here. I just forgot my pasword for about a month until it dawned on me this morning. Nice, right?
