Getting back on the Paleo Challenge diet wasn’t as hard as I feared it would be either, after eating wonderful French food for a week. I just don’t crave simple carbs the way I used to. And, when you can eat all that you want of proteins (e.g., grass-fed beef, chicken, fish), veggies and fruit; you are stuffed most of the time. I actually get tired of eating! I really do. I have to make an effort to keep my caloric intake up to make sure I’m putting on muscle.

- Stretches
- Light jogging
- Air squats

I’m pretty happy about today’s WOD. I did the same Conditioning WOD about 3 months ago and today I completed it almost 3 minutes faster. Nice!
