I can't believe how fast that 60 days went by.. In the past 2 months I have become level 1 certified, lost 7 lbs, added 20 lbs to my full range of motion 1 RM squat, and added 4 strict dead hang chinups to my repertoire. Pretty cool stuff..
I am amazed and surprised how easy Paleo was to stick to for 80% of the time just by looking at things and asking myself "is this pretty much just meat, fruit and veggies?".. If the answer was yes, I ate as much as I wanted of it.. If the answer was no, I would need a damn good reason for eating it.. (most times I cheated were parties or situations when I wouldn't have the opportunity to eat again for like 6 hours and I just needed something, no matter the quality of the food.)
SWOD/WOD:
1RM Back Squat ATG, full range of motion
Max Strict Pull Ups
Max Squat = 275.. missed on 285.. (up from 255 60 days ago)
Max Pull ups (chin up grip) - 20 (+4)
I think for the most part, the squat increase is due to an improved flexibility and the chin-ups are due to me losing some weight.. I would like to crack into the 300s with squatting, but its a slow race, not a sprint, I will get there.
Even though this 60 day challenge is over, I don't really plan on changing much in the way of my nutrition from here on out.. I like the way I feel and I like the way I look.. I do look forward to not writing down everything I eat, since I mostly keep it up my head anyway. But besides that I think Paleo is here to stay.. If just for an 80% basis. I will probably re-introduce whey protein, peanut butter, some cheese and maybe some greek yogurt a little bit here and there.. But I think bread and pasta are a no-go from now on.. I just end up feeling lousy and tired when I eat those 2 items now, its weird.. I didn't really believe the science of the insulin spike getting all out of whack, but its really really really true.. pretty crazy how scientists are right..
