Whole30

WOW!!!

Today's Whole9 Nutrition Workshop with Melissa and Dallas was awesome!  It was a great blend of geek-speak and talk that folks without a MS in biochemistry can understand.  They touched on the science, but focussed heavily on the implementation and daily living.  While no expert, I've been around the nutrition block a few times.  I learned a lot today, and am looking forward to implementing some of the things I learned in my own nutrition.

Today starts the Whole30 Nutrition Challenge.  You can "register" by signing up on the white board (this will actually go up later today ... Sunday was a long day!).  You are on your honor to monitor yourself.  If you cheat, you must bring in $1 to put in The Jar.  At the end of the 30 days, we will donate the money (hopefully small amount) to NRV Cares.  CrossFit Blacksburg is going to guarantee $100 to NRV Cares ... do your darndest to make us donate the $100!

Here is Melissa and Dallas' guide to the Whole30 Challenge.  A lot of the Whole30 Challenge is about assessing your relationship with food, and the effects the foods you eat have on your body.  As I said, I've been eating pretty darn clean for a number of years, and I'm looking forward to making some changes over the next 30 days.  The first few days are not going to be easy, I can 100% guarantee it!  But the changes that will happen to your body over the next 30 days will be so worth it!!

Seize the day!  There's no time like today to change your life, for the better!!

  • Ditto Jesse on the analogies - some of the science-y stuff went over my head in The Paleo Solution, but they did a good job of clearing that up.  Not entirely sure I “drink the Kool-Aid” on 100% of the stuff, as Otto put it this morning, but I thought it was definitely worth the price of admission and I’m willing to give it 30 days to find out more.

    Today: Had a case of the Mondays…or at least a case of the 5:30 AM’s.

    DL: 365# (35# below PR of 400).
