Almost Done or Just Begun?

The 30 Day Paleo Challenge ends this Sunday. I need to make sure I get everyone's stats emailed to me by then, so I can determine the winner of the 30 day challenge only.

For those of you who saw results and want to keep this up, for those of you who now see this as a way of life, or for those of you who need/prefer a "challenge" to keep you going, the challenge will continue until the end of the year.

Originally this was only going to extend for 3 months total, but that puts it ending at the end of November, just in time for Christmas crappy eating.

It's up to you. Most people gain 10 pounds during the holidays. If you stick this out, the way most of you are going, you'll start the New Year knowing that you stayed tough and stuck it out. And at an average of 7 pounds lost a month, for those of you trying to lose weight....

If you decide to cheat starting next week, introduce one "cheat" group at a time. For instance, for week one, re-introduce milk. See if you notice any mid-day or after-coffee sleepiness. Are you now putting on weight? Do you feel sluggish? Has your performance seemed worse?

If not, good for you. If so, you need to be honest with yourself and decide which is more important.

The following week, maybe you reintroduce one cheat day/week of alcohol. Once again, see how your performance is affected. Do you find yourself being grumpier than usual? Do you feel apathetic or depressed? Only you know how these items affect you. You're in charge of being honest with and disciplining yourself.
