Hello

I am doing the CrossFit Leeds 30 Day Challenge.

Its a bit like the Stoptober thing (which is, incidentally, not a 1 month promotion of Babybel, but an NHS campaign to make people give up smoking for October).  

or?

Except its about all round lifestyle improvements, with a strong focus on nutrition.  So the above pictorial comparison turns out to be actually quite apt..

The challenge is focussed around trying to maintain a quality diet of eating and drinking clean produce for 30 days.  It also encourages other lifestyle factors such as aiming to get at least 8hrs quality sleep a night, and getting lots of exercise/increased attendance at CrossFit - in order to help improve all round levels of fitness, happiness and well being.  Sounds good.

See here for the Rules of the Game.

Only difference is, I am veggie.  Hence the title. :)

[I do also like the Jam.  Not so much Liam Gallagher's clothing label.  But both of those are somewhat incidental.]

And with that preface, welcome to my blog, recording the trials and tribulation of the 30 Day Challenge (aka "Do I have to live off eggs for a month?! I don't even like eggs!!")

ps Yes today is 3 October.  Yes today is the third day of the Challenge.  I will be posting retrospectively for the last couple of days. Soz.
