Starting up again 2014-10-12 I’ve had a lot of ebb and flow with my fitness routine over the past couple of months. I’ve gone periods of eating like shit to periods of eating huge quantities of vegetables and no treats. (More ...)
Coasting 2014-07-27 I had hoped that putting my struggles with getting back on track would reinvigorate my determination towards completing this phase, and thus being able to move forward with the experiment in general. (More ...)
Off The Paleo Wagon 2014-07-25 When I went on vacation last week I knew I was going to have some minor breaks in my Paleo protocol. With a month and a half off I didn’t think a lobster roll or two, or maybe a beer, would impact things too much. (More ...)
Paleo Diet, The Quiet Phase 2014-07-09 This seems to happen with each of the diet phases, at least the first two. Like most people that change up their lifestyle we settle into a routine. Once we are in a routine the goings on of a given day are actually quite boring. (More ...)
Paleo Day 35: Parties on Paleo Suck 2014-07-06

Sorry, but there is no way to abbreviate that any more.  I’m a guy that likes spending time with people in a social setting surrounding food.  Call that the curse of my ethnic background but food, and often drink, is a standard part of that arrangement.  We aren’t talking a gourmet foodie Instagram worthy meal every time, but we also aren’t talking about just hot dogs and hamburgers either.  Abstaining from the wine or drinks is pretty easy, there are other rather good options.  Abstaining from almost all the food is another matter.

Paleo Day 34: A Paleo 4th of July! 2014-07-05

With Hurricane Arthur right off the coast our previously oppressively hot and muggy weather has turned almost spring like.  What better way to enjoy the weather than with some running and then watching Fourth of July fireworks with friends.

Paleo Day 33: Made It To The Gym But Then... 2014-07-04

So much for being on a roll.  One free day turned into two, but will not turn into three.  At least I held myself to a good clean Paleo diet all day.

Paleo Day 32: Impromptu Intermittent Fasting, Then Gorging 2014-07-03

A Muslim friend of mine pointed out to me that I should try fasting like they are doing right now for Ramadan.  I actually have informally been doing that periodically, but have looked at doing that once I hone down what my personally optimal diet is.  But once I started eating I didn’t want to stop.  At least being on Paleo without any Paleo-labeled (so not really Paleo) junk food around the house, it was highly nutritious eating.

Paleo Day 31: Month 1 Finished, Month 2 Starting 2014-07-02

With one month of Paleo behind me, I look forward to continuing the success that I have had so far as well as to hopefully get a little more cooking experimentation in.  With some holidays and vacations mixed in that won’t necessarily be easy, but we’ll find out how that goes soon enough.  As it was, today was a relatively ordinary day with some good eating and finally a roll on the exercise front.

Paleo Day 30: Sushi, Sushi and more Sushi 2014-07-02

With a day of training, but with some necessary errands mixed in, I didn’t plan on doing much more than eating my huge vegetable and nuts snack, eating some salad then coming home and repeating the same routine.  Boy did I call that wrong!
