See, I'm happy I promise. :)
OK I just don't have a photo for this post.
I changed my eating habits in August of 2010. I've been on the, "paleo diet/ caveman diet" Monday through Friday and I eat what ever I want on the weekends. And I have been pretty successful about staying with the food program. Not only that but I have seen my body composition change (decrease in body fat %) and I feel amazing. Now that all being said, I'm totally struggling with it right now. And I'm a walking infomercial for it!
It's a challenge. I don't follow the diet strictly either, I allow myself a can coke a day. I also eat pickles and some times cheese on my salads. I bend the rules enough to be successful but not too much that I'm just kidding (lying) to myself.
This past week I have found myself thinking more about "cheat" food then I think I did in the beginning... I'm sort of bummed out about it because a part of me wants to just allow myself those foods, chinese, pizza pasta, tortillas and bread. But at the same time I see all the progress that has been made and my 1 year anniversary (of starting this program/CrossFit) is right around the corner.
A part of me is wonders if it's some sort of subconscious way of self sabotage. I mean I do allow myself those food on the weekend, but there isn't enough time in the day. And honestly I don't plan my weekends around food, other then the bean burritos from El Charro in Mesa. I can't remember the last time I had pasta or chinese food... The tag line, "it's so easy even a caveman can do it" goes through my head more often then I would like to admit.
I don't want to waste your time with some crazy rant of mine (again). I just wanted to point out it's a struggle and I don't think eating healthy is always an easy thing (for me). It's a choice and it's a decision I make every day with every meal... This weekend I just might plan around food...
