Paleo Day 14…Easter Sunday Cheats

Sunday started off without a hitch. It was a mild sunny morning and I was sitting in my boyfriend's backyard enjoying some fresh strawberries, a crisp glass of water, and a popular book called The Primal Blueprint. Figured that it'd be nice to read a few pages from it since I'm following a very similar … Continue reading Paleo Day 14…Easter Sunday Cheats →

Thoughts I Think While I Tackle The One-Mile Swim

On Friday I completed my very first long swim of one mile. (I think I completed something close to a mile before in an open water swim, but I don't count that too much because we took a lot of breaks and it was with a class.) It was one of the few times where … Continue reading Thoughts I Think While I Tackle The One-Mile Swim →

Paleo Day 11…Workout Recovery and Minor Ethnic Cheats

Thursday...it was the day after Wednesday, the day after I had pushed myself a bit farther than usual. Every few months or so I'll get a yearning to try my hand at a solo sprint triathlon, meaning that I attempt the distances at a local gym to check out my current level of conditioning. Well, … Continue reading Paleo Day 11…Workout Recovery and Minor Ethnic Cheats →

Paleo Day 10…Workout Fueling and Late Night Eats

Had a pretty awesome day in terms of energy level. Again I was reluctant to head out for my back to back to back workout with GU so I tried a little experiment and took along three bananas. I downed the first one right before swimming, the second one after my swim, and my third … Continue reading Paleo Day 10…Workout Fueling and Late Night Eats →

Getting Back Into The Swim/Bike/Run Routine

So on a whim I decided to try a swim/bike/run routine this morning. At first I thought that I'd only for a nice long swim, but figured that now was a good of time as any to take an assessment of where I'm at, physically, for the triathlon in November. Let's just say I've got … Continue reading Getting Back Into The Swim/Bike/Run Routine →

Paleo Day 9…Keep It Simple, Stupid

The day started off good enough with a great 3 mile run around the neighborhood. I came across a dilemma that I've been battling since going paleo...what am I going to do about my energy gels? I'm so used to using them during my training and races and, for the first time ever yesterday, I … Continue reading Paleo Day 9…Keep It Simple, Stupid →

Paleo Day 8…Down 6 Pounds, Here Comes The Cravings, 100 Weeks Left

So after what turned out to be more of a cheat day than a cheat meal, I set about my Monday to go back to my usual staple of veggies and fish. Monday started harmlessly enough with leftover curries from the weekend. Most of the broth remained but the bulk of the veggies were gone, … Continue reading Paleo Day 8…Down 6 Pounds, Here Comes The Cravings, 100 Weeks Left →

Paleo Day 5…Where Are The Seasonings?

So I never disputed the fact that paleo feels pretty natural...but I think today was the day I finally stopped thinking about it. (Is it becoming a habit yet?!) I started the morning with my usual egg white scramble and fruit, but wanted to do something a little special for Shant. It was Friday, after … Continue reading Paleo Day 5…Where Are The Seasonings? →

Paleo Day 4…A Few Minor Slipups

What a busy day Thursday was! Had my internship so I had to pack a whole day worth of food. Wolfed down most of it before realizing that I didn't snap any photos. For breakfast I had the egg white scramble with veggies. Packed some bananas, oranges, dates, cranberries, raisins, and almonds. Made orange marinated … Continue reading Paleo Day 4…A Few Minor Slipups →

Paleo Day 3…Need to Hunt Down Some Recipes

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I never bother with a whole lot of preparation unless I have some company. Don't these veggies look bright and yummy?! They were as tasty as they look. Also cooked up some home fries. It was a nice addition to the egg white scramble. As you can … Continue reading Paleo Day 3…Need to Hunt Down Some Recipes →
