During the 9/14 Chipper

Alright, I have said this a time or two before, but now it's going to be true. I am doing a 30 day Crossfit Challenge. No matter how badly I don't want to go, I will be at Crossfit every day for 30days (sans rest days). If I can do a 30 day Paleo challenge, I can easily do CFO for 30. There are so many aspects of my training that I can't even begin to describe how frustrated they make me. I want to have a bigger DL and back squat. I want to be able to do more consecutive pushups and pullups. I want to take less breaks during metcons. Apparently, the only way to do this is to workout more. Even if I would rather get better by eating horribly and sitting on the couch. :)

Along with the CF challenge, I am doing the Zone for 30 days. I did not feel as good on Paleo as I did when I did the Zone for 2 weeks. So I figure why not just do a month. The biggest problem with Zone and Paleo, though, are how expensive it is. It is frustrating. I just want to be able to eat really well without having to pay an arm and a leg. However, to make up for our absurd grocery store bills, we are going to do a "Cheap October." The only exception to the cheapness will be our anniversary which is at the tail end of the month.

I would like to point out that I was there 6 days this week and since I worked out on the last rest day, I'll just work straight through to the next on Wednesday. I haven't worked out that much in a long time. If only my diet was up to par, I'd be feeling great. Instead, I feel really worn down and tired. I am hoping that getting back to the 3 days on, 1 off will help along with a better diet.
