The 70 Day Challenge


The past few weeks have been rough. I've been travelling a lot - not working out - eating crap... and gaining weight. Today I finally broke 120, which pretty much ruined my day.

But instead of getting down, I'm going to use the High School Reunion (HSR) as a motivating factor to get everything turned around and get back in shape. The High School Reunion is 70 days from tomorrow and since 70 is a nice round number and I need to go to the grocery store to prepare, the challenge starts tomorrow.

So here are the rules I'm making for myself (and thanks to LeanMeanRoomieachine for the idea):

Food


1. No Grains! No Legumes! No Dairy! - The dairy piece is going to be really really hard for me. I love cheese, but I should be able to over come this if I keep the HSR in mind.
2. No Sugar - Much, much harder for me since I love dark chocolate but I bought these great new Paleo Treats that should take the edge off. I highly recommend them if you have a sweet tooth.
3. Only 1 Cheat Meal a Week - That's a 90/10 split, which is realistically what I need to meet my goals.

Exercise
Monday - Crossfit & Soccer (soccer schedule permitting)
Tuesday - Crossfit
Wednesday - Hot Yoga
Thursday - Crossfit Endurance
Friday - Crossfit
Saturday - Hot Yoga & Crossfit
Sunday - Hot Yoga & Soccer
70 Day Burpee/Squat/Situp challenge!

I'm going to be giving myself one day off a week, with the exception of the Burpee challenge, but I'm going to leave it up to my work schedule and motivation level to determine which day.

Other
Blogging - Check in at least every other day! I think this will help me stay motivated.
