Day 39 - Weight 299.2 lbs. - No CrossFit Today... YAY!

Only eighteen challenge days left. I will be glad it's over. Winning, whatever that means... I can remember really wanting to win at one point. Now all I want to do is grow. When the challenge is over I'll be eating as close to strict paleo as ever! To me, that's a big deal because usually you start strong and end crappy. Not this time... my last two weeks are going to be the best two weeks. I'm already planning it. I want daily dairy and fruit but in minimal quantities, a manageable variety of fats each day, more meat and less cheese, plus 8 to 10 or more quarts of water daily, without fail. This will take supreme planning and my efforts so far have seemed to fall short.

I updated my point total with the chocolate points today. Only +16 to the current total. I had expected worse. I think I'm gonna keep eating it but not often, maybe a few times a week. After the challenge I'm gonna keep moving forward but making a few different choices. Some concessions are good for me, some aren't, and hopefully I will have learned more about that by the end.

I'm learning so much, and there's so much more to learn but I want whatever will work. This is so good for me, it tastes so good, and I'm loving it. I just wish my back would settle down.

And so I press on, hurting back or no.
