I exercised for 34 hours in January. I'm happy with that number. I took a total of 5 rest days, all of them while traveling for business. It's tough fitting exercise into my schedule when away from home.
Although there were many days during the month that I ate healthy, low calorie meals, I did splurge quite a few times on ice cream, chips and salsa, coconut cake, bread, and mexican food. I think for February I need to focus on eating paleo more often than not. With some planning, I should be able to eat paleo 80% of the time without too much trouble. I also want to focus on allowing myself one indulgent day a week. Studies show that overeating or eating something different once a week helps wake up your metabolism. Too much of the same thing, and it gets in a rut. If I limit my free meals to only one day a week, I think I'll see better results.
Despite my imperfect dieting, I have lost weight. My fat jeans stretch out when I wear them at the office and by noon are much too big to look good. So that's progress.
