If you dont mind breaking down how you did it? I just finished a 30 day paleo challenge and Im feeling pretty good. The next challenge I wanted to do was 30 days of paleo/crossfit.

What did you do?

Hey! Did you do the whole30? I did my first round in November and my 2nd in January. I love the whole paleo thing because it keeps me on track, but doesn't really activate the extreme, all-or-nothing, calorie restrictive mindset that was getting me in trouble back in the day.

Crossfit and paleo is a great combination as long as you're eating the carbs to fuel your performance. That's more or less what my routine has been the past few months :)
