Day 2

So, I got through Day 1 of the Hugo Challenge.  It wasn't too horrible.  My problem is that I don't enjoy cooking, and don't really have the time for making a bunch of stuff from scratch - which is pretty much required for Paleo since all the meals in the freezer section of the grocery store all have tons of salt, sugar, and terrible chemicals.  I think that I need a day off work to gut the kitchen, put my recipes and ingredients in order and maybe even make some stuff up ahead of time.  

The sad thing is, I'd rather work out 2 or 3 times a day instead of changing my diet, but changing my diet is what I need most.  Hmph!  Oh, and another sad thing is right after breakfast the first thing I thought about was that I wanted to run up to the gas station to grab a Cherry Coke.  Bad habits are hard to break.  I should be taking that near $1.50 every day and put it in a jar to see how quickly it adds up.  Then I could spend it on something better than Cokes at the end of the month. 

It is a very good thing that I am being held accountable by my team.  Otherwise, I'd likely say forget this and run and go get that Cherry Coke.

Will I ever like this Paleo thing?  Will I ever stop wanting these stinking sodas?  Let's hope that after a month this all will change!

  1. Thanks for commenting on my blog. I so dearly wanted to do Marine corp this year. I have such a LOVE for the corps to have never had served. However, DW and I are going to be in Chicago that week. Train well for us both!

  2. If you are in DC that week you should come watch the race!! If you do train, CFE is an awesome way to train. I'm loving it so far, and can't wait to see how I do in the Peachtree Road Race - which by then I'll have been doing CFE for two months and CF for 6 full months.
