Whole Life Challenge Day 1

I started the whole life challenge today. My buddy Kevin T asked me to join his team so I looked into it and pulled the trigger. It is an 8 week challenge of eating better and being more religious about working out.

Part of the challenge is drinking a ton of water. For the first few weeks I need to drink 160 oz per day. Day 1 has been easy because it has been hot and I have been outside fairly active. I will have to see what the next weeks will look like.

From a diet standpoint it is primarily Paleo. Some exceptions are there but it is pretty minor.  My meals for the day included:

Breakfast
3 eggs
Mushrooms
Water

Snack (at Jacqueline's softball game double header where it was not)
Beef jerky
Almonds

Lunch
Tuna Salad (Meagan put this together and it was killer. The secret ingredient is celery salt.)
Cucumber
Carrots
Romaine

Dinner
Salad with a nice hunk of thin round steak from the grill

Supplements
Fish oil
Vitamin D
Multi Vitamin

We (Meagan and I) also did the challenge WOD.

2 min of 25 yard shuttle runs (5 points per run)
1 min rest
2 min AMRAP of 5 push ups / 15 squats (1 point per rep)
1 min rest
2 min (max reps) sit ups (1 point per rep)
1 min rest
2 min 25 yard shuttle run (5 points per run)

My final score was 202 (Meagan posted a 250). The runs were tough.

Calling it a night. Still have about 20 ounces of water to force down.
