Whole30 is complete...now for Whole9

First of all...I did weigh myself on Day 31 at Crossfit but the calibrator wasn't available to check my BMI. That being said, I will wait to get the complete results from the 1st half of the challenge before I report them. =)

Yes, the Whole30 is complete! What next? The Performance Nutrition Experience is 60 days, so for the rest of the PNE I will focus on what they refer to as Whole9. Funny thing is...I feel as if I have been doing that this entire time! I am able to begin reintroducing foods in a methodical fashion but I am waiting until after this Sunday to start because I am running the Pasadena Rock & Roll Half Marathon and don't want to mess up my system. More on "clean" eating and paleo in another post...so much to share here...

We are encouraged to consider 9 factors of life and to "triage" them so we know what we need to focus on in our life. Here are the 9 areas...

Nutrition
Sleep
Stress Management
Active Recovery
Injury Rehab
Fun & Play
Personal Growth
Temperance
Exercise

I love the focus on the complete person! As I looked at the 9 areas I saw areas of strength and other areas where I can grow. =) So friends...hold me accountable to getting enough SLEEP! This will help with my TEMPERANCE as well as STRESS MANAGEMENT! Funny how all these things are connected! LOL I definitely believe that I need all 9 in my life and balance in each area is critical.

You have permission to ask me about these 3 areas and any other that you feel like I am neglecting. I love having all of you in my life and your insight and encouragement are GREAT!
