Nutrition Challenge

Yesterday was the start of the Nutrition Challenge at Crossfit. And it's just the thing to kick my ass back into high gear. I love challenges. I stopped drinking as a challenge to myself. Started crossfit. Started taking classes again. Went vegetarian for a bit. The list goes on.....

What really gets me about a challenge is not the challenge itself, but the opportunity to see life from a different point of view. If you ever watched Morgan Spurlock in Supersize Me or his TV show 30 Days, you would see where I'm coming from.

In 30 Days Morgan, or a proxy, takes on a completely different lifestyle for...you guessed it 30 days! In one episode Morgan lives on minimum wage. In another his NYC friends live "Off the Grid" on an ecological farm.

Like Morgan, I enjoy these glimpses of a different lifestyle. Some changes, like not drinking, stick. Others are discarded, like vegetarianism. In either case I gain a new respect and perspective for those who incorporate The Challenge into their lives permanently.
