[...] Marks Daily Apple challenges you to something new- a primal workout and a meal (okay this was for the weekend, but it can be implemented anytime)! [...]

I am so bad for thinking that I have to have everything PERFECT every day or I feel that all is lost. I’ve got to get better at ‘just doing it’. Thanks for the encouragement.

Mark, I’m in LOVE!! I’ve been going primal and the weight is dropping off and my energy is through the roof. I just wanted to say thanks! I’m keeping my friends and clients updated on my blog and I have not doubt that they’ll be going caveman with me soon!!!!!

I loved the post on spontaneous workouts while going for walks. I will often jump up on a tree and throw in a few chinups or have a random race when going for a long walk in the park with friends. Another good tip is to bring a ball along and just chuck it to each-other, throwing is a very primal movement!

I’ve been sick, bronchitis and/or asthma, and a trek on cross-country skis Fri. night through the frozen snowy woods after work–although good for my soul (bobcat and elk tracks in the powder!)–did not help the lungs. So I had to lay low today. I took advantage of the time to deal with bills and chores, freeing up tomorrow for lap swimming and gym climbing or mtn biking, depending on the weather and my lungs. Also I prepped food for “vegie bombers,” a variation of girl scout pocket meals, vegies and meat in sauce roasted in foil on the grill. I have a vegetarian kid, like Mark. So hers has tofu. Vegie bombers are easy to customize. So the day was not a waste. Plus I just bought a new book, “Good Calories, Bad Calories.” I can read that and start some seedlings if I can’t workout tomorrow. Still, I HATE not to work out and I totally lack patience for sitting around. I do want to try some new recipes. I am curious about the canned quail eggs I saw at the Asian market today, while buying frozen green mussels. I wonder what they taste like and how they compare nutritionally to chicken eggs?

If you lack equipment and want to get ‘primal” check out this video for some inspiration. It dovetails into what Mark has shown us here on his blog, “be useful in training to be useful in life”. In any case, it’s a beautiful video so enjoy!

Thank you to Mark and everyone for your inspiration.
