Are Ya Keepin' Up?

Not with us...with exercising. I've been slacking on posting something for you all to do. 

Probably because the days I've been working I haven't bothered with working out either. 

Oops. Hopefully that changes this week.

What I do want you all to do is continue to exercise and eat well. The paleo "diet" or what I 

like to call the paleo "lifestyle" is not meant as a weight loss program in my mind. It's a lifestyle 

change. With the encouragement of friends at the gym and the challenges we've had with our 

gym, it was a good way we were able to change our own lifestyle. 

Not just for feeling good day to day, but to be healthy overall.

For those of you using it as a weight loss diet, I will tell you I hear many stories of people who 

lose a bunch of weight but that rate of weight loss decreases and eventually seems it's at a 

stand still. With the mix of the lifestyle change and exercising, you will continue to 

see your body change.

I once saw this thing on Pinterest that said something along the lines of 'it takes you 4 weeks 

to notice your body's difference, your family and friends 8 weeks, and the whole world 

12 weeks to notice the change.' Get it? It takes time! Don't give up on the lifestyle 

change or on any sort of exercising.

  

This was our first challenge with the paleo lifestyle that our gym put on.

It wasn't so much losing weight for Ty, but toning up. Eat well,

train well, and you'll be on your way to a healthy lifestyle!

For those of you who have followed the recipes week to week, I give you lots of props. 

There's some of you who follow because you like to use the workouts that are posted (or so 

that's what I'm gathering from messages I get from you all)...keep it up! And for those of you 

who follow, but don't exercise...please start. I get that habits are hard to change and we can fall 

back into old patterns, but if you fail one day...guess what? You get another try tomorrow, the 

next, and many more after that. I encourage you all to make that life change of eating 

healthy and exercising!

On that note, here's a workout for you to do today:

AH-WOD

50 box jumps

50 lunges

50 push ups

50 squats

50 situps

Extra credit

Run up a hill once, then come back down

Run up the same hill, backwards

And if you're feeling up to it...

Repeat!

Have fun!
