Some of you may remember back in July - when we started this Zone business - and we said we'd be checking back in September to see how it was going. Well, it's that time!
If you took the Zone challenge, you've been Zoning now for 8 weeks or more and we want to know about the results. Good, bad, negligible? You guys have been great with offerings of recipes and tips on the blog, but have you kept yourself accountable? The goal was to try and eat "In the Zone" 90 percent of the time. How'd you do and was it a realistic goal? Jules, Ken, Jeanie (where are ya girl?), Wendy, Kevin, etc....how's it working out? Who am I missing? We want to hear from you!
If you are just getting started with the Zone plan, we suggest being perfect with it for 2 full weeks. No cheating. Then ease up as your body adjusts to this new way of eating.
If you've never heard of the Zone and are wondering WTF we're talking about, read Melissa's original post that explains the challenge and all kinds of good information about how the Zone works: http://blog.btbfitness.com/nutrition_stretching/page/8/
Boot campers! Just wanted to include this quick and yummy-tasting recipe posted by Yvette in Vinings, in case you guys didn't see it...
