They say it takes 21 days to make or break a habit well this lifestyle feels like a part of me now. My friends are use to it, my family is use to it and I am use to it, so why stop after 30 days? This is a good question I asked myself and reflected on today. I feel happy, healthy and positive about CrossFit and Paleo so why ruin a good thing by going back? This brings me to my next point, from my personal experience too much of a good thing is never a good thing! I enjoy living a balanced life where I have treat days and nights out with my friends. I have developed great habits through this challenge and I am going to continue those. I think the best thing it is teaching me is I can trust my will power. If I have a night out once in a while or a treat meal I can easily get back on the wagon. We are only human right? If I can do it once I can do it again!
I think it is important to finish by saying again what motivates you? Having a rest day from training makes me even more motivated to train the next day. If I have a treat meal I feel even more determined to eat healthy for another week. You need to do what works best for you and practice that will power you have developed regularly or you will lose it.
Today was a great day! Finally achieved my goal of 50 DU's!! I did the benchmark workout Annie and last time I did it it took me 13 minutes or so (this was taking a single jump between each double under), today with doing Du's properly it took me 8mins. I am also getting much lower in my overhead squat! Its such a good feeling to focus on the small changes and celebrate them.
