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 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
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 6 and 7…Weekend Cheat Meal, Curries, Coconuts, and More
This weekend was full of fun and adventure! I started off with finally painting my apartment. It took forever to prep but post-friendship brunch, my bestie helped me paint my place. It was frustrating and tiresome but I am happy with the outcome. It's still drying but I will post pics of it soon! So … Continue reading Paleo Day 6 and 7…Weekend Cheat Meal, Curries, Coconuts, and More
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?
