Random thoughts by Jen... :)

I am 18 days into my Whole30 journey!!  

Honestly...  I wasn't sure that I would have the willpower to do it!  (Ice Cream, swedish fish, and Diet Mountain Dew were a way-too-frequent treat!)  I figured that if I worked out every day, often more than once, that my diet wouldn't make that much of a difference.  That was an EPIC fail in my thought process!!  I did this as a way to detox my body of all of the bad stuff that I've been ingesting (Processed Food = BAD!) and not as a diet, but more of a lifestyle change.  Although I wasn't doing it to lose weight, that has been a nice bonus to the healthier eating!  Other benefits are that my skin is clearer and my energy levels are great!  I didn't think that I could make it through 4 classes & 2 personal training sessions in one day without a major caffeine intake before...  now I'm doing it with zero caffeine!  

 

After the 30 days I will transition into regular Paleo- and incorporate some cheats I'm sure- but this has been a great choice for me!

If you have questions about it or would like more info, I can direct you to some great sites and give you some of my non-expert tips that I've discovered in this journey!  I also know a few other peeps that have been at Paleo much longer than I have that I could refer you to... It may not be right for everyone, but I believe that everyone can benefit from educating themselves about the food that they are eating.  Food=Fuel :)




And since you guys are such sexy beasts...  ;-)

On another note- I am so proud of my bootcamper's, HIT client's, and PT client's!!  Everyone is making progress and that is not always the case!  I try my best to inspire you to work a little harder & embrace the pain (LOL!!)  Push it a little harder each time- always do more than the time before!  Make sure that you're fueling your body properly.  And drink lots of water!!!!  I'm not saying no treats- just in moderation!

I hope that you guys are enjoying the new workouts I've been creating!  I try to keep them fun, functional, and constantly changing!  Your body is probably feeling it this week :)  That pain means that you're working hard & your results will keep improving!

 

I still need goals from some of you...  I may have to bring a sharpie to class to write it on you so you remember :-)  Happy Wednesday!!
-Jen
