Awesome, jo!

One of my sculptures. It's a mandrill.

That DOES sound good...not gonna happen, though. So, today is strength training with the praxis. I found out about praxis on MDA. praxiseverywhere.com Great work out.

Hi! Welcome. This is the place for healthy eating.

I splurged on latkes, yummy cranberry cheese & crackers, and a small piece of this aMAZing gluten-free chocolate cake someone had made. Only sugar I've had in a year. So, one night of highly...

Yes, yes & yes! Primal Blueprint made me realize that my drinking was a problem. I tried to control it, but couldn't, so I got some help. I don't drink anymore, and I feel 1000% better, just for...

Happy New Year to me! I'm in my 12th month of Primal eating. It's just eating, now, really. Nothing special about it. As normal as macaroni & cheese used to be.

I wish I could say I've lost a...

I had really high blood sugar at the beginning of this year (A1C 11.6). I got way serious with PB. I had halved my blood A1C by April (I wasn't testing), and just got a glowing email from my doc that...

Pretty amazing, innit? Of course, I could never convince my lovable-but-annoying vegan friends of this, but Primal eating has solved two health problems for me: irritable bowel syndrome & T2...

I did it! I got my A1C done last week. Got a glowing email from my doctor saying I had achieved my blood sugar level goal through diet & I don't need to take any medication for T2 diabetes. 6 months...

Yesterday I rode 17.25 miles (27.76 km). My quads crapped on me at around the 12 mile mark. I had to walk up the big hill at the end. From the big hill to almost home was flat or mild enough grade...

The trike looks like fun. Not sure how far/fast you can go, but hey, it beats sitting on the couch!

My meat costs me between $100 and $130 per month, for me. I've had to give up breakfast meats because even the supposedly uncured stuff makes my blood sugar spike. I buy through a broker. The meat is...

I took your advice & read my first entry. I remember how I was feeling that day. Pretty darn defeated. I rode my bike to work again, today. It was just that much easier than last time. If I'm not run...

Still riding the bike. I commuted to work on Thursday. My thighs got really tired. Yesterday I did a 14 mile ride during "Bicycle Sunday" on Lk Washington. All was cool until a five-year-old blew by...

Rode 9 miles, yesterday. Hilly miles, btw, no easy jaunts along the beach boardwalk. Although part of it felt that way. Rode down to the bike/walking path along Elliott Bay. Beautiful day, sunny but...

Yeaterday it poured rain, so kitty and I were kind of lazy. Reading, napping, listening to the rain. I am the world's worst housekeeper. Seriously. I hate doing any kind of domestic chores. Cooking...

Thanks, Mud Flinger. It's nice to know somebody out there is reading my rambles.

I started to IF last night...was going to skip dinner. But after my bike ride I was really hungry, so I had a MAS...

Happy May! I'm still completely obsessed with my new bicycle. I'm like Peewee Herman in "Peewee's Big Adventure". If Peewee were diabetic.

My blood glucose levels are mostly in the normal range,...

This past week I decided I can't ride my old hybrid bicycle, anymore. The bike just doesn't fit me, never has despite all the tweaks i've done over the years, and it's dumb to put any more money into...

Giant prawns crawling across the the floor of the Pacific ocean , having been irradiated after the tsunami in Japan! Last seen battling Godzilla on a BP oil platform.

You've read about my breakup with Beer! I do understand...

Welcome! Do what feels best for you, to start. A good read is Primal Fitness (you can download it for free). You're lucky! I didn't stumble into Marks Daily Apple until I was 56...and it still took...

Snore. I'm waiting for my "I eat vegetarians" t shirt to arrive from CafePress. Can't throw a rock in Seattle without hitting a vegan (which I would like to do, sometimes). I'm sure I'll get some...

Today as an experiment, I decided to fast from all carbs...I got the idea from one of Mark's posts. Since I'm diabetic, fasting may be too hard on me. I dunno. Anyway, I'm eating protein, just no...
