30 Day Challenge | Frozen Paleo meals

A few days ago I was doing a little grocery shopping and as I was walking towards the frozen fruit I noticed that the paleo section has gotten substantially bigger than I remember.  I stopped and took a look at some of the stuff they have available now.  Its no longer 3 different types of gluten free breads and one or two options, there is now some really good looking options!  

But are they any good?  Are they anything but a cheap meal to make a quick buck?

During my knee and shoulder rehabilitation I first was introduced into the paleo diet and crossfit.  I started going to my local crossfit gym, Crossfit Hinesville and met Tina who was a wealth of knowledge and steered me in the right direction.  She helped me and pushed me to improve my overall strength and functional movements.  Combining time in the gym with her and my daily physical therapy was tough but I also had to do morning PT with my unit every day.

It was the mental game that caused me the most issues.  Anyone coming back from a serious injury knows what I am talking about.  In the blink of an eye your entire world can change and learning to handle that is not always easy.  It took hard work in the gym and lots of pain and long nights of self reflection.  I needed to fuel my body and mind for the work I was putting in.

This is where the paleo kicked in.

It essentially started with The Paleo Solution by Robb Wolf.  I followed the 30 day plan within the book of what to eat and what to buy and I loved it.  I felt great throughout the day and the food was really good.  The best part about all of it was that before I was losing weight and building muscle but at a turtles pace.  After a month of strict paleo I had lost roughly 30 lbs and my strength and endurance had made a huge leap forward to get back to where I was before the injuries.  

30 days of paleo meals all pre made.  I am not as active as I was before but I want to see what type of changes my body goes through during this month.  I am setting a goal for myself of at least 1 extra gym day a week with 2 hockey games a week.  I don't get paid to work out like in the military but I can still make it a priority.  I will keep you up to date with daily videos on my YouTube channel and through this blog.  If you read this help keep me accountable to upload and blog as much as I can.
