How to Use the Primal Blueprint Journals Forum page 2

[Aprilsid]

Is this where I am supposed to put my Primal Journal? If not, how do I start a new thread? I have looked everywhere, this is frustrating!

Did you ever figure out how to start a new thread? I can't figure it out either!

Journal entry 1

I've been eating primal (mostly) for about a month. Weightlifting three times a week (since February), yoga once or twice a week (since January), and I commute by bike.

Starting weight was 195 (February). I'm 5'6". Current weight is 184. Not sure what my starting measurements were, since I only just got a tape measure, but as of today they are 43-34-42. I'd like to get my waist down to 30, which is what it was the last time I was at my goal weight (140-ish). I'm pretty sure I have more muscle than I did then, but I don't know my body fat percentage, or how to figure that out.

I can't really eat meat (kosher kitchen, dairy only) but I eat a tonne of fish and eggs and vegetables. No bread and no rice. Quinoa occasionally. And chocolate And I do eat yoghurt and coffee and tea.

Today I'll probably have two cups of coffee, scrambled eggs with tomato and zucchini (breakfast/lunch), and I'll stiry-fry some rapini with garlic and onion for dinner, and have some tuna with that. I'm going to the gym later to lift, so after that I'll have some plain yoghurt with almonds and raisins.

Goal - 125lbs. Current : 145+ ? (so 20 pounds give or take)

Plan - Mark's primal plan worked for me in the past (the low carb thing in general seems to be effective) - so plan is to go strictly primal till the end of June and then slowly add low amounts of carb to maintain more sustain-ably. I am a sugar/choco - addict btw. So thats about 3 weeks to the end of Jun (lose atleast 10lbs - reach 130) and another 10lbs between July1-Aug 31. Oh - I want to see if I can do leangains in addition (ie quit eating at 7pm and bfast at 9am). I workout most days (mostly cardio) - I am going to make sure to do atleast 3 weights sessions a week

Day 1 : Off to a good start
Bfast : 2 eggs + 2 sausage + black coffee
Lunch : Beef stir fry
snack : greek yogurt + nuts
dinner : chicken wings + salad
