Cheers To A Lean & Healthy Body All Year Around!
Posted by Ace on Mon 26th Nov, 2012
Monkey and I went to our local steak house and over locally sourced, grass fed, organic rumps had a good natter about all sorts of things. One of those things was Christmas. Okay, I know it is still November and too early perhaps to be thinking about Christmas but our chat was more about last Christmas and how uncomfortable and lethargic we both felt after a month of 'indulging' on the kinds of 'treats' that are around at this time of the year. After Christmas, we both decided to give up takeaway, sweets and fizzy drinks for a couple of months, not so much to lose weight but in realisation that we had not been kind to our bodies and in an attempt to rectify the situation.
For many people it is normal to over-indulge during the Festive Period and then start the New Year with resolutions of becoming leaner, fitter and healthier. I personally prefer consistency in life whether it is work, training or wellbeing. For example, whilst I target key races and peak for those events and have a period of rest and recovery afterwards this generally means light training or trying new sports without losing much fitness.
Having adopted a paleo lifestyle since June 2012 we are looking forward to a Christmas Paleo Style: the great company of family and friends and some delicious real food without the undesirable side effect of feeling tired, heavy or bloated. The monkeys will not be requiring any New Year 'Diets' this year thanks to a consistent Paleo Lifestyle. So dare I suggest this? Why wait for the New Year to get healthy, lean and fit?
