Getting fit and lean is one of my key deliverables for 2014. The health effects being obvious, given my borderline LVH diagnosis from 2013, and an increasing desire to ditch my keg for a veritable six pack (hello ladies :). The general consensus seemed to be that the Paleo diet was a great way to achieve the calorie restrictions required to achieve that, whilst I work on defining the exercise component to that. Over the course of the 28 days of February, I managed 20 completions, slightly improved over the January numbers for challenge #1, but still far short of the full complement.
In my defence the black holes were primarily driven by external factors, team lunches and events I had to attend or other meetups where fiddling with the menus was frowned on quite a fair bit. It is a challenge I want to carry forward, with more realistic expectations in place and a lot more rigour.
On a more positive note, Challenge #1 from January appears to be a habit that is slowly being ingrained into my morning routine, with a 100% adoption in February. :)
For March, the challenge is to complete Tim Challies 31 Days of Purity Challenge, as well as build on the habits from January and February. Fingers crossed on this one.
