This recipe was banging around in my head ever since I picked up the bone-in pork chops on sale at Whole Foods Saturday. I wouldn’t say I’m an all-star at pork cooking…except for bacon…which I’ve easily achieved all-star status in that arena. And what do you do when you want to “liven” up some meat… [Read more…]

ProKine was invited to speak Thurs night to a group of beginner runners training for their first 5/10K. So I headed up to meet with these newbies & have a fun talk about nutrition & running! While they were beginning runners, the lessons hold true for any level athlete, so take a read-through of what… [Read more…]

The 30 days is sort-of winding down. I won’t lie and say I haven’t thought about the first meal I’ll eat on the day following the “last” day of this. A slice of gluten free toast? I would have said ‘yes’ if you’d asked me the first week. A piece of dark chocolate? umm..maybe…the first… [Read more…]

Those sugar cravings from the last few days are gone. That was a fine little moment for me…truly, I felt like, “have I done this to myself?” and of course, I have. There is a hormonal shift for women as the month progresses, but I am the one who decides how I handle it. We decide… [Read more…]

Stay strong! Wow. Hormones definitely affect your desire/need for certain foods. I knew I’d always craved chocolate at certain times of the month, but man o man, Day 16 & 17, I could have stolen candy from a baby and not thought twice about it. I found myself not feeling satisfied from my regular Paleo… [Read more…]

We took Week 2 pics yesterday! Drew & I are doing these for the sake of seeing any changes in our shape that happen. We know we’re not the typical person who starts the 3o Day Challenge – many folks have weight to lose when they find Paleo – not all!…but many. So the before/afters… [Read more…]

If you’ve been reading along, you know one thing I deal with poorly is being hungry. I go from zero to FAMISHED!!!! in about 7 seconds. I have tested positive as hypoglycemic in the past and so while I’m not literally hungry all of the time, I can be fine one minute and ready to… [Read more…]

Today was the day of the non-meal plan. It went from cold and dreary to insanely hot and humid over the last two days – 90 degrees & dew points over 70. That’s hot. No one’s complaining, we want summer, but the heat definitely took a toll on my hunger levels yesterday. Why? Because I… [Read more…]

A lot of you have been asking/commenting about the low-carb part of Paleo. Does that mean low-carb labeled foods? Without carbs I’ll die! I’m an athlete, I can’t eat low-carb! etc. Don’t feel bad if you thought any of these things, mainstream media has us convinced we need carbcarbcarb from those glorious whole grains stuffed… [Read more…]

Some of you know, I have added track workouts to my program this spring. Today was my 1st day eating with a really intense workout requiring proper fuel. I’ve already done a 30 Day Challenge day for a long run (Day 1), now time to do one where I may just see my meals come back up. Good… [Read more…]
