Paleo Day 23: Back to some good Paleo Home Meals 2014-06-26 Monday, June 23, 2014–Finally done with travel I had the luxury of eating at home again. It’s a bit ironic that while eating out used to be the luxury because of cost, now eating at home is a luxury because of lack of time. (More ...)
Paleo Day 22: Paleo Travel Is Ticking Me Off 2014-06-25

Sunday, June 22–Traveling and Paleo are seriously ticking me off at this point.  It’s one thing to have to suffer through self selections at restaurants.  I don’t expect things to be as easy as it is when I am at home with the comfort of supermarkets, kitchens and my own routines.  But on travel days where air travel is concerned it goes from being a nuisance to being totally irritating.  I was close to dropping some F-bombs on myself for subjecting myself to this stupidity.  I could just cave for one day, but I didn’t.  Instead I just slugged through and threw myself a little pity party.

Paleo Day 21: Walking, Touring and Getting Some Food History 2014-06-25

Saturday June 21, 2014–After yesterday’s relatively low key day, we fired up yet another one but this one with far more outdoor activities and walking but also some good opportunity to get some socializing in.  By happenstance it also gave us a glimpse into the life and times of an ancient culture.

Paleo Day 20: Keeping it low key 2014-06-24

Friday, June 20–A low key day and a very low interest meal selection for the day.  A heavy breakfast, a light lunch and a pretty decent dinner combined with hanging out with some friends is one way to round out a week.

Paleo Day 19: Theme Parks and Paleo Don't Mix Well 2014-06-24

Thursday, June 19, 2014–Today was my first day in LA on this trip, and it was one hundred percent about the Disneyland experience.  While I have been to Disney World many times, Disneyland is something that always eluded me.  My partner loves both and used to work at Disneyland.  I therefore was promised, and got, the entire Disneyland experience–all seventeen hours worth.  I stayed surprisingly close to my Paleo protocol and got a ton of exercise while also having a lot of fun too.

Paleo Day 18: Paleo and Travel Means Being Prepared 2014-06-23

Wednesday, June 18, 2014–It is no surprise that being Paleo at home is far easier than eating Paleo out.  When you have to travel, especially with air travel, you have to take things to another level however.

Paleo Day 17: Salad for breakfast and steak for dinner, that's one way to have a Paleo day. 2014-06-23

Tuesday, June 17, 2014–As I stated yesterday, I was really craving the notion of having a big salad for breakfast. Yeah, it’s bizarre but there was something about it that I found enjoyable. Yesterday’s meeting schedule made it impractical but today’s more than allowed for it. Starting the day with a huge helping of kale, cabbage, mushrooms and carrots worked beautifully to get the day started and kept me more than full through lunch time.

Post Deluge About To Commence 2014-06-23 While I have been dutifully writing up my daily updates on the Paleo phase of my experiment, I haven’t had the chance to get them posted to the blog over the past few days. (More ...)
Paleo Day 16: More Butt Dragging 2014-06-17

While I’m not thoroughly exhausted, the perpetual yawning throughout the day got old really quick.  I think I nailed down what it was, the next question is if I want to fix it or not.

Paleo Day 15: Shifted Sleep and "Spaghetti" Paleo Style 2014-06-16

Today was a day with travel home to spend some time with my dad on Father’s Day.  As such I went back to my go-to travel plans on most of my meals.  As I’m finally working through my backlog of squashes I decided to crack open another one tonight and whip up a quick meal of Shrimp Marinara over spaghetti (squash).
