(I Don't Want To) Rest Day

*Rest Day*

The cantankerous bundle of nerves in my neck and between my shoulder blades is very, very angry from yesterday's overhead lifting. I'm super sore and stiff and have limited range of motion in my neck right now. I had planned to make the noon class today but got called into a meeting at 11. The 5:30 pm is an option, but I think that maybe I just need to let my neck and shoulders rest today and avoid any further injury. What I have found (and why I keep testing this just to make sure, I do not know) is that when I allow myself to ingest sugar, the aforementioned nerves tend to get irritated and make me very uncomfortable.

So, I'm back to being "good." I had my little crack-out on Halloween candy and now I'm done. Good thing, too. Challenge ends next week. I must now come to grips with the fact that I most likely threw myself headlong out of the running to win the challenge. This is where I must practice that kinder, gentler treatment of self and forgive and move on.

The challenge isn't about the money for me, anyway. I've learned a lot. And I won't be bailing off the Paleo wagon come November 13th. I can think more clearly when I'm 100% Paleo, and have therefore challenged myself to continue on through December 9th when my senior paper is due. I need all the help I can get....

Breakfast:
pecans, apple
black coffee

Lunch:

My mama made pork roast with sweet potatoes, carrots and mushroom and invited Wes and me to stay for dinner. Yes, thank you! It was so delicious....and I didn't have to make it. :)
