Paleo Challenge Recap

I've decided. I'm never again taking pre and post paleo challenge pictures. I'll take any measurements they ask. But never again will I take the pictures. I always look exactly the same--or in some cases (this)--worse. And for me that one little photo--that one little aspect of this entire process has the ability to negate everything else. It has the ability to make it all feel worthless.

And it isn't worthless.

I'm faster and fitter and stronger than I was in January.

And yes, I also weigh more.

But I like being strong more than I like being skinny--and that's really the bottom line.

So sayonara body shots. I'm tired of letting you get in my head.
