I lost 30 lbs. over the spring and esp. this past summer when I was strictly primal. I've been off the wagon since the fall, but haven't regained - I've maintained my diet enough that I've been at...

Does anyone else notice that their appetite changes seasonally? I noticed this even before going primal - but it is more pronounced now. I'm certain that there is a good evolutionary/scientific...

I don't have PCOS but I have heard from other's that the PCOS guide by Stephanie Ruper (sp?) of Paleo for Women is a good guide to tweeks specific to PCOS - Paleo for Women | Announcing PCOS...

I use oil cleansing a few times a week, coconut oil under my eyes and aloe for the rest of my face. (I find that coconut oil all over is too greasy for my skin type and causes pore clogging). I also...

I'm a big fan of baked custards made with eggs, whole cream and maple syrup or honey - you can make them pistachio flavored, vanilla, chocolate, mixed berry, lemon-berry, banana or any number of...

Leftovers, full fat greek yogurt with some berries and walnuts or almonds, lunch meat rolls (roll up some quality organic/nitrate free lunch meat around full fat cheese and/or veggies like carrot...

It's been a couple weeks since starting CrossFit - I haven't lost any weight but I have made some noticeable gains in strength!

Today we did 3 power cleans EVMOM for 9 minutes and then in the last...

Yeah, those were the real weights. Like I said - I'm sure I could do more. Strength and flexibility are actually two of the things I'm generally quite good at and gain easily with focused effort. For...

Today we finally got to do a push press and deadlifts with some weight and I've got to say the 35 lbs. and 45 lbs. respectively were NOT a challenge for me. I probably could have done 5-10 lbs. more...

Day 2 of my Ramp-Up class, we had a 3rd girl join us. She seems nice - definitely experienced in running. We did some foam rolling that was, for me, super painful but in a good way. LOL. Clearly I've...

Thanks for the encouragement guys! I'm in a class with another lady a little older than me who has a son that's come to my story times. We're in about equal shape - which is nice - so we're keeping...

First day of my fundamentals class. Significantly less scared now. Looking forward to the next one and excited to get some weight on those bars instead of just PVC pipe.

I love reading about all the other libertarian-minded people within this community. Gives me hope that we won't become the dystopian society we fear (esp. if we all manage to live healthier and...

40 squats
30 sit ups
20 knee push ups
10 jumping pull ups

Planning some relaxing yoga for 30-45 min later.

Hunting. LOL.

I already wanted to give it a try before going primal - but I REALLY want to try it now. I'm saving up to buy a rifle (for deer and elk) and a shotgun (for fowl). Plus it's just a...

LOL. I already had LPD (Libertarian Paranoia Disorder) BEFORE becoming paleo, learning what I've learned since has just cemented what I was already thinking. Though it's not the right wingers I'm...

Okay, so I went to my intro session/workout today.

I did 500m row, 40 squats, 30 sit ups, 20 knee push ups, 10 jumping pull ups in 8:21.

Not sure where that puts me to start - but I feel like...

About to watch the Avs game (hope they win, losing is annoying - esp. when they have the talent, they just lack the consistency - grrrr) . . . Got some paleo chicken soup thawing out from the freezer...

While I LOVE my job as a children's librarian . . . if money were no object and I had a wonderful, amazing husband - then my dream would be to have a hobby farm and be a homesteading, homeschooling,...

Hi back! :D Yeah for primal librarians!

. . . .

Thanks for all this great info, everyone! Another follow up for ya - how many days per week do you do Crossfit? Did you do more at the...

One day left in my Sugar Detox and I'm thinking I will postpone my Whole 30. I just feel so buried in rules, I'm rebelling. I'm happy to eat primal and low carb cycle. That's very do-able for me and...

Thanks for all this awesome information guys!! Useful, if a bit intimidating, but also exciting.

Follow up question - There's a LOT of lingo in Crossfit. Coming from a profession that's very...

Okay Crossfitters - need your advice, words of wisdom, etc.

I've been doing some WODs at home, but nothing like the full Crossfit workouts they post on the website for my local box (mostly due to...

True story. The front range is crazy!

I live in a mountain valley now, which, as you may have seen on the news, had been stuck in an inversion since before Christmas - every morning it was minus...
