Back to Basics - Hoylebub's Primal Journal page

[Hoylebub]

This is my primal journal. I saved my before picture as my cellphone wallpaper so I have a constant reminder of why I am doing this. I am an American student living in Morocco. The food here is way healthier here and perfect for going primal. All of my sizes in this journal are eyeball size. I am just starting my 30 day journey.


DAY 1
3oz Macadamia Nuts
10oz Beef
Small Potato
Eggplant/Tomato and Cheese

Fasted this morning as I didn't have to work out.

DAY 2
3oz Macadamia Nuts
6oz Beef
6oz Chicken
Cauliflower/Carrot Medley
2 Fried Chicken Breasts
Handful of French Fries

WOD: 15min Run, 1 Hour of Body weight calisthenics for the team I'm on over here.

I know the chicken and fries for dinner wasn't great but being over here every once in a while I get a little food from home. I also didn't think it was too awful bad from a primal stand point. Better than pizza.

DAY 3
4 oz Chicken
Greenbeans and Carrots

Salad with Cheese and Tuna


Beef Tanjine (Hunks of Beef in some kind of tasty sauce with a fried egg in the middle! Yumm!)


About a dozen French fries
Mint Green Tea

Again with the fries, I cant escape them. Otherwise I was 80-85% Primal today. I'm starting to get over the Low Carb Flu I think. I notice my clothes are looser already.

DAY 4
Butter Mint Chicken
Cabbage
Potatoes and Onions
Guacamole
1/4 cup of Hazelnut Ice Cream
4 squares of 76% Dark Chocolate

WOD: 1.5 mile run, 1 hour Body Weight Calisthenics workout

I know I screwed up today. Its just a little set back. Giving up wheat has been fairly easy, however, potatoes are whats killing me. I need to cut them down too. Yesterday was the first sugar I've had all week, and while those weren't good choices they were far better than what I would have made a month ago.
