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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
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 …
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 …

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 …
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, …

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 …

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 …
