I'm starting Crossfit on July 1st (EEEEP!) and my eating has not been where I want it to be. Not even close if I'm being honest. So when I start CF, I'm also going to start a 31-day 100% paleo challenge. So far the participants of the challenge are...me! Anyone want to join me??

Yay!
I'm not doing a Whole 30 because I don't think I'll make it without Paleo treats. Lol.0 -
Is there a good Primal food challenge list? ie one that will allow diary? The only other thing I'd "have" to have is caffeine. I have WAY too much stuff going on to fight that battle right now. Staying away from my bad foods will be enough of a challenge for now. Normally I do fairly well but I've been slipping a lot lately. A month challenge would be good for me.0

I'm starting a Whole 30 today, so I'm in!!!0

Hi, I'm In!0

Count me in as well. My challenge is to remove grains. I'm OK with no sugar and no processed foods. Anyone experience the same and if so what was your process in removing grains.
We can use this thread to report in; say every Monday?0 -
I'll join in. July will be my month to fully drop beer. My only non-paleo food will be red wine, and sparingly.0
-
I'm in too. I'll be the French part of the team 0
-
Yay! I vote we check in every day, there's a lot of non-paleo damage that can be done in a week! 0
-
LOL, baby steps it is!
I haven't committed to 100% because I will still be taking communion at church on Sundays (have been for the past 5 weeks, though I've been 100% outside of that time). Just call me 99.9 percent "in".0 -
Oops, today is the 1st of July! So, I had a Starbucks Latte with some vanilla syrup in it. I also had a Kind bar.. though that is probably not too bad since it was a fruit and nut bar. I'll be good for now on! I'm just going to try and follow Mark's challange as he details it here:

That will be more doable for me.0 -
July 1st, done! This is actually day 2 for me, I started yesterday so I didn't feel horrible at CF today. How's everyone else doing??0
-
hey nice people!
I started a whole 30 today and i will be blogging about it so if anyone wants to add me feel free=)0 -
Making up for it tonight, Primal Taco Salad. Yum (no chips, beans, rice)0
-
I'm all in.0
-
I'm in!! Although today doesn't count because I had some rice. And cake. Delicious cake.
I've been slacking too much the past few weeks and I'd really like to restart.0 -
Good day. I eat primal, not paleo, because I can't give up on cheese. I didn't work out, but I felt in a really good and energetic mood.0
-
I think I had a pretty good day. The only two things anyone would question would be a Hint Essence Water (I couldn't find coconut water) and some Dr. Mercola Miracle Whey protein powder.0
-
Day 1 of Whole30 went awesome...looking forward to day 2!0

I started Crossfit back in May and also started a Paleo challenge at my gym July 1st 2013. I gave away all Non-Paleo food from my pantry and fridge/freezer. I am 100% in. Only meat veggies and fruits are in my house. My entire house is all in, which makes it alot easier.
Day 1 was good, and it makes it a lot easier when the food has nothing to temp you. The challenge is for 90 days and I plan to stick to it 100%
Good luck to everyone0 -
OK Im in..slightly late to the party though oops. Am doing primal not paleo (cant do without the dairy!)..
I dont really have a problem sticking to the primal foods (with primal treats...) but I really need to watch my portions as got 10lbs to lose.0 -
I'm in - but I too will be primal (dairy is my crutch. I don't have a ton of it but I do have it for a treat every now and then and have no intentions of fully dropping it)
We should all add each other as friends to see food diaries- it could help inspire one another to make meals we've never tried or thought of.
Let's rock this like it's our jobs!
Who's in? 0 -
I'm totally cool with food diary spying. Then you guys can check up on my "boardline," foods. I"m not doing Whole 30 which is probably more cut and dry than just being "Primal." For example, Vita Coconut Water. I didn't even read the label, but I wanted something with calories since I forgot my lunch and the little food shop where I work didn't offer a lot of "safe" foods. So I had that and hardboild eggs. My dinner is leftover Chinese (it was expensive and I didn't want to toss it) but it's just meat and vegis, so hopefully they didn't cook it in anything too crazy. That will be gone and hopefully tomorrow I'll remember my lunch!0
-
Anyone is welcome to add me! I'm not tracking my food right now because I get a little obsessive about it and needed a break, but I probably will at some point.
Dinner tonight was so good, my favorite paleo dinner - spaghetti using zoodles. Yummmm. And I did NOT shove marshmallows in my face, so double win.0 -
I don't mind sharing my food and exercise diary; feel free to add me.0
-
i am not logging the traditional way in my diary but under notes i am writing exactly what i ate that day. I don't want to concentrate on counting calories and weighing and measuring. I am just sticking to
meats (organic if possible),
leafy greens,
non starchy vegetables,
organic full fat coconut milk,
coconut oil,
avocado
olive oil
farm fresh eggs
onion, garlic, peppers
my homemade kombucha
No fruit, dairy or any other whole 30 no nos.
i must have been pretty bloated on day one because i woke up today almost 5 lbs lighter.
yay on to day 3:)0 -
Whole30 day 3: Feeling general malaise. Went for a 6-mle run this morning and only did 5, and at a slower-than-normal pace. Will get in a second short run after work to make up for it. Doing great with the food, though.0
-
I'm currently avoiding FODMAPS to relieve digestive distress so it looks like I'm in by default. LOL0
-
I had unflavored yogurt with a small amount of added berries this morning, remembered my lunch (salad), and brought nut/raisin trail mix with some "Paleo" crunchies (mostly nuts as well). So, I should be good. Now I just have to figure out what to have for dinner. Probably more Primal friendly taco salad so I can eat up the meat while it's still good.
So, my day should be good and primal with exception of the dressing since I still haven't made my own. Tomorrow I have the day off so I will probably play around with some homemade primal friendly salad dressing recipies.0 -
I'll also join in my own way. Not the whole 30 because I follow the primal guidelines and consuming quite a bit of dairy. Time to time I eat some rice and potato, but I 'll try a month without them.0
-
Day 4: so far so good on whole 30. I am also following the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) to reduce body inflammation. Bread is my addiction; so I am replacing it with buttercup, spaghetti squash or acorn squash. I need to increase my good fats however; so working on that.0
