This coming Monday I am starting a 30 day challenge. It will involve the Paleo diet and lots of abdominal workouts! I have adapted my challenge from this blog. I love this blogger's straight-forward layout of the day, easy- to- follow menu, and efficient workouts.
Let me just say that this is not something I would normally do. I have never "dieted" to restrict myself from certain food groups and I have never created a set work-out routine. Normally, I do my best to have balanced meals and I eat fats, sugars, carbs in moderation. As of late, my workouts involved walking, weight-lifting, and yoga. When I came across this Paleo diet and workout routines on Rachel's Sweet Confession blog I was really excited because it was in-line with what I was already doing, but a little more refined and aggressive. Now that I am a mom I have found that I am lazy about exercise and I eat more conveniently (aka I eat like crap). I have also noticed that my energy level has dipped and my pants have gotten more uncomfortable. Needless to say, my body is ready for a reboot after having baby Cora.
Starting on Monday I will be blogging my daily activites involving eating, exercising, and progress. I am using this blog because I think my mom and Taryn are the only ones following and I need somewhere to be held a little bit accountable. I have also told Howard about my challenge and told him to keep me on track. Yes, this is a little narcissistic. No, I will not be posting half-naked pictures. Yes, I will probably complain once in awhile. No, I will not give up or give in. Alright, let's do this... starting Monday. I am going grocery shopping for the next week of healthy eating :]
I love this!!!! Great and grand adventures ahead :) Take us all along. After we get home from the coast next week (always something ;) ) I am doing a cool plan from a new lady in our ward

Danee!! I'm in a rut right now. I did the Dunford challenge at the beginning of this year and kept going with my family and got awesome results...........and then I quit and can't get started again! I exercise every day, but eat horrible. So when i saw you post this on FB I had to come read about it! I want to do this too!!! I'll have to go grocery shopping tomorrow, but it looks awesome! I'll have to eat more calories and carbs for 2 weeks cause I'm running a 1/2 marathon sept 21, but then after that I'm ready to look and feel great!! Woohoo! Keep me updated! Details! ;). Good luck! You can do this!! (Ps Cora is the absolute cutest! Love seeing pics of her!)
