If you’re a regular reader, you know how I feel about excuses (they’re so blah). Use reasons to explain your behavior, then own that behavior.

A quick update before we decide today if being gluten-free is ‘enough’! Since last post – I moved! I didn’t kill Drew or anyone else, although they likely wanted to end me at a few points along the way – but I’d say it was a reasonable success! We now live about 20 mins drive… [Read more…]

It’s a freaky thought, I know, the carb-loving world we live in – hey! even the USDA says go carb-crazy & eat upwards of 250-300g of carbs per day. Does anyone realize how impossible that is if you’re eating a diet rich in fruits & vegetables and minus the grains that are so inflammatory &… [Read more…]

Thank goodness it cooled off a bit after the heat wave of this past week! As we’ve been going through this 30 Day Challenge, different cravings have definitely come up…the 1st week, not having my little square of Dove dark chocolate was annoying. Week 2?

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…]
