I figured that I'd get my long swim in today so I started the day with two bananas to power up! I generally just have one, but today I doubled up in anticipation for my workout... ...but then I twisted my ankle. 😦 I don't even have a cool story! I decided to take a … Continue reading Paleo Day 17…Twisted Ankle, Burritos Aren’t Paleo

Paleo Day 16…Big Eats For A Big Training Day
Started my training day off with a very light snack...a banana. It never gives me a stomachache and I never feel like hurling during a workout when I eat it. Proceeded with a strength training workout, followed by a run...I was a little bit on the tired side to start. If there was a way … Continue reading Paleo Day 16…Big Eats For A Big Training Day
Paleo Day 15…Fish Tacos and Too Much of a Good Thing
Started off my day with a different type of scramble this time...onions, bell peppers, and roasted green peppers with a side of potatoes! Then went to visit a friend. She was gracious enough to share her blood oranges with me. It was so sweet and tasty! I will have to hunt down the farmer's market … Continue reading Paleo Day 15…Fish Tacos and Too Much of a Good Thing
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
Paleo Chocolate Pudding And Fruit Dip
So lately, we've been having quite the urge for sweets. Paleo desserts are hard to come by out in the wild (heehee!) but we've been testing out some recipes to see if we could get something that was easy to make and tasty. We finally did! Here, we made some tasty chocolate pudding. It was … Continue reading Paleo Chocolate Pudding And Fruit Dip
Paleo Day 13…Pre-Holiday Festivities, Breaking Bread
Spending the weekend at my boyfriend's house generally makes it a culinary challenge, since I don't prepare all of the food I eat. However, since he's on paleo too, it's a smidge easier. I started the day with a huge bag of almonds, cranberries, and raisins. We were boiling eggs for Easter and making some … Continue reading Paleo Day 13…Pre-Holiday Festivities, Breaking Bread
Paleo Day 12…Rungry, So Now We Feast!
The day started a bit later than usual. I think I was finally up and at it by 11am. Shant and I were up really late last night trying to make a paleo strawberry souffle. (We failed with flying colors.) When I was finally ready to tackle the day I decided that it was probably … Continue reading Paleo Day 12…Rungry, So Now We Feast!
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
