Paleo

[Valerie Esquibel]

I was really frustrated after today's WOD. I really thought I'd see an improvement from the last time I did it. After thinking about it, I realized I had been STRICT Paleo for almost a month the last time we did this WOD. I have been very lax with my diet the past month (I am a teacher and this time of year is crazy, so I tend to eat more crap). So, starting today I am back to being strict.
I'm posting this on the forum for 2 reasons -
1. To ask for your help. If you see me at the gym ask me how it's going, I need the accountability!
2. To ask if you want to join me! I might not be the only one who fell off the Paleo wagon! If anyone else wants to start over, join me!

Hey Valerie!

You did great today! Your squats are looking MUCH better than before! Considering that your ROM (range of motion) has improved, you're actually moving that barbell a longer distance every rep, which means you did more work today than before, despite your score being one rep short than what you got last time.

Regardless, I believe everyone performs better when you eat better. So I'll do my part in keeping you accountable with your Paleo diet. Good job today!

Thanks, Ted! I feel so much stronger, so I thought for sure I'd see my scores improve.
It helps to know my form and ROM are better.

Valerie, you are doing awesome! You are way ahead in your progress than I was after the same length of time. But I didn't do Paleo at the beginning and didn't stick to it all the time. When I started doing Paleo about 90% of the time is when I noticed I was getting stronger and could do more. Keep up the good work ! You will get there :)
