This weekend the Court Club (the building that houses ACF) hosted an Eastern Collegiate Racquetball Conference tournament. The parking lot was full, and so was the building. Dozens of college racquetball players, coaches, fans and supporters lined up watching the matches. I may just be being overly aware due to the 90 day challenge, but I was shocked by what I witnessed this morning.
These collegiate athletes were fueling themselves with garbage. I saw evidence of Fiber One bars, pizza, energy drinks, chips, and artificially sweetened beverages. After I wiped the drool off my chin from the alluring smell of pizza, I took a deep breath and reminded myself of how much better I've been feeling over the last 29 days. Between the reduced inflammation in my stomach, the clearer brighter skin, the lost weight, and the better sleep how could I not cringe when I saw what these athletes were putting in their bodies. This is all aside from the performance improvements I've seen. It's no wonder professional athletes are turning to the paleo lifestyle.
Someone should tell those racquetball kids.

It is crazy how much you notice what others are eating when you are eating clean right? We're 1/3 of the way through!
