I just saw the scores of Team 3, my new Paleo Challenge team and, for the love of Cheetos, these guys don’t cheat! Are they for real?! They’re scoring consistent 15s (the highest score) and 11s (on their rest days). And, even on their cheat days, they’re still getting points for eight hours of sleep and doing a WOD!
And here I come, bearing my one pathetic point. Geezoos!
(RJ, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?!)
Now, because of None Other Than Yours Truly, Team 3 has gone from being the Star of the Show to the Paleo Slacker of the Week and, as a consequence, doesn’t get a cheat day for the next two weeks. Lovely.
This is so embarrassing.
Jaloy, the team leader who, all this time, I was calling Cheloy (- Doh!), of course, sent me this really sweet “welcome to the team” message yesterday, exhorting me to do as many WODs as possible before I leave to make up the points I cannot make by going away. And, even though I did stick to the diet and did a WOD yesterday, I also ended up partying and, consequently, (1) lost points for alcohol and (2) didn’t earn extra points for sleep.
And then, of course, because I’m sleep-deprived today, there goes any hope of my making it to the box.
Sucks.
Ugh.
I did write them an apology letter.
By the looks of it, this was one powerhouse of a team. Before I came along, that is. Jaloy’s totally determined and pushes himself to the absolute limit. Aaron, as it turns out, is AA, one of the coaches so he’s a pretty serious fitness dude. And the chick they voted off? She’s a barre3 instructor and a yoga instructor. In her spare time, she developed CrossFit yoga. (I know, right?!) I saw her at the box the other day and she looks great. She’s gone down two pant sizes!
Enter Gai Olivares, one of the biggest fuck-ups of all time. Who went from near perfect scores to zero in 60 seconds.
I’m sorry, guys!
Then again, I have been doing this longer than anyone on the Challenge… And I cannot not eat and not drink. It’s got to be one or the other.
Ugh. I’m blaming it on PMS. All ten days of it.
