I applaud you for making a change! So many people I meet just take a pill and carry on. You are doing something great for your girls!

[Primal Papa]

Thanks for the new people reading.

Well, I am a bit sloooowwww. I had my heart attack in 2007, and am just now changing my ways.

Kymma, my girls mean everything to me,even when they drive me nuts. Nothing kin the world can make me happier than they can.

Richard, well, my one daughter in Volleyball just started to play about 3 months ago. At first, she was absolutely dreadful. But by the end of the season, on a team with 12 players, I think she became about the 4th best player on her team. She loves playing it, so we decided to pay for her to play on a developmental team that is coached by college players. She better love playing, LOL, for what it costs.... She will practice 1 - 2 nights a week, and have 6, I think, all day tournaments to attend. She says that she likes it enough that she sees herself always playing it.... She is 11 now, so we shall see. But I played a ton of volleyball, even as an adult, so maybe she will to. In fact, I am looking for a an adult league to play in. A casual league.

When they get home from school in a bit, I want to take them to the YMCA. I don't force them to go, so I hope they are in the mood.

BTW, this just occurred to me.... I used to have an internet signature that read:

If I can teach you only one thing, let me teach you to not fry bacon while naked.......

It came from a time where, I wasn't naked, but cooking with just a pair of shorts on, and I knocked over the bacon pan. I suffered several small burns, but my shorts protected the "important" parts, LOL.

Good news, a paleo cookbook I ordered is coming earlier than expected....

500 Paleo Recipes: Hundreds of Delicious Recipes for Weight Loss and Super Health: Dana Carpender: 9781592335329: Amazon.com: Books

The author has had other cookbooks published, and I always enjoy reading them.

Enjoy the cookbook. I have quite a few Paleo cookbooks on my Christmas list.

Just got back from the YMCA.... I kicked my own butt.

I started out with a mile walk at a medium pace..... then I did about 10 minutes on the heavy bag.... I can do that without breaking a sweat... but what kicked my butt, was, well, I don't know what you call them, but it is like you have these blocks with a board on them, and you step up on them... add as many blocks as you like to make it as high as you like.... well, I was 4 blocks high, and I did 250 steps with each leg. When I was done, I was sweating like a pig... which I wish I had a piece of pork to eat right now, LOL.

2:28 AM.... insomnia... ugh..... I will never be one to get great sleep.

[Primal Papa]

Sore as all get out today from all those steps yesterday, but I am going back to the YMCA today anyway, I think. Not that I want to, but I have to make exercise a habit, and not just an afterthought. Will likely do some light weights, and some decent cardio. Or maybe I just take one of my dogs on a really long walk.... I hate that though, because one gets left behind. I'm the only person here today, so nobody can walk the other one.

2:28 AM.... insomnia... ugh..... I will never be one to get great sleep.

I went years and years never sleeping more than 5 hours a night, and still functioned ok, but at some point (quite a while after switching to primal) I just started sleeping more, naturally. I still have a night or two per week where I don't sleep a whole bunch, but overall I am sleeping quite a bit more per week than I used to. Maybe it'll hit you, too.

[Primal Papa]

Primal Papa, why can't you walk both at the same time?

One is very bad on a leash when with the other.
