The Journey to a Healthy Life: Paleo and CrossFit

Many people struggle with eating healthy and exercising. It's only understandable with life's daily demands. My name is Daina, I am a primary school teacher who enjoys fitness and sport. This Blog is designed to take you through my journey of beginning a healthy lifestyle through a 30 day and 30 night Paleo diet and attending CrossFit sessions for exercise. Within this Blog you will find daily posts on food ideas, inspirational quotes, and the obstacles/successes I gain through the challenge.

Day One

Today was day one of the Paleo challenge and let's just say....it was definitely a challenge! After a massive weekend of cocktails, beautiful food and cutting some good shapes, I was feeling rather tired but I got through it!! This is how it went...

Breakfast: Salmon and fried Brussels, zucchini and leeks (is yummier than it sounds).

Snack: handful of nuts and an apple

Lunch: fresh shrimp and spinach

Snack (pre WOD): can of smoked salmon and a hot protein shake!!! Yum!!!

Dinner: chicken stew made in the slow cooker (flavoured with garlic, chilli, basil, salt and pepper).

Today's Tip: Start the day off with protein. This will keep your blood sugar levels stable and stop those cravings later in the day.

During the weekends I will try some new recipes and post them! :) Have a go at following my daily food plan.
