Paleo Challenge - Day 4: Rest Day

Spiritual Juice


"Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve."
Colossians 3:23-24


Learning to make much of Christ during the 9 to 5 (today's topic at Harvest Young Adults). Definitely learned a lot and was encouraged by others.

Rest day

Felt so awesome today :) Rested a little more last night. More awake during the day, and productive at work. Can feel my muscles and body recovering, and quite appreciative of the rest. Rest days are important. No rest, no recovery. No recovery, no intensity.


Nutrition


Breakfast: minced meat + lettuce
Snack: Trail mix (with cashews / Brazil nuts)
Lunch: 2 eggs, spinach, broccoli, salmon
Snack: Trail mix
Dinner: Assorted vegetables, liver :)
Snack: Pork jerky, apple
Night snack: Leftover salmon, spinach, cabbage

Day 4 of the Paleo Challenge. While not completely strict with Paleo, I feel much better avoiding starch and keeping my diet cleaner. I feel less bloated and feel better. Though, it's still tempting when I go into Starbucks, or see the wonderful food at home--they made dumplings this morning :(

"The circuit training programme was designed in 1953 by Professor Emeritus Kirk Wipper (University of Toronto).
