Aaand She's Back!

The short story is that I got a job. (Hurrah!) The long story is that I got a GREAT job, that (while absorbing all of my time in the last 6 months) I love. Now that things are slowing down a bit (ha!), I finally have been able to carve out some time to focus on my eating. From the time that I was hired I went from eating paleo to eating from the vending machine on what little time I had. Many days I didn't eat at all. I kept wanting to return to a healthier way of eating, but each time got derailed; until this past weekend when I shouted "NO MORE!" Today...

New Challenge: 60 Days

I did really well on the first 30 days. Piece of not-really-cake-cake. Then I got cravings for the sweet stuff, and it was fine; I satisfied it with some 80% cacao chocolate and paleo brownies. The paleo brownies turned into chocolate pieces that turned into coconut milk ice cream with agave. But those, sadly, sparked the fire that would...

De-Lurk Wednesday: How did you hear about Paleo?

How did you come to this diet? Now be honest. Did you think it was a load of bunk before you heard it out? Or was it something you intuitively knew to be right, but you didn't have a name for it? Did you research it nonstop before you began, or did you plunge headfirst? I had heard about it from a vegetarian friend of mine who was making the switch. As soon as he began talking about the paleo lifestyle, I knew right away that it was what I had been looking for. For years I had been feeling "off", but not sure why. My weight was more or less...

Featured Post 9/6

Later this week I have some fantastic recipes to post, but first I want to put up the featured post of the week. I don't have children, but I do think about what I ate as a child, and how I would feed children if I had them. I know a puppy isn't a child, but I have a maternal amount of concern over what Henry eats, and how his condition and behaviour...

Your Cheating Heart

Yesterday Henry spent the day at a dog-daycare facility as a trial run for boarding him for this upcoming weekend (Music Fest North West!). He and Jeff's dog Jezebel spent the day romping about with canine pals, peeing on things, and generally goofing off.  I spent the day eating bread.  It wasn't a planned "cheat day" per se; I knew...

Stocking the Paleo Pantry

When I began Paleo, I was highly enthusiastic about starting. I cleaned out every scrap of sugar, processed food item, gran, bean... it was gone. Unfortunately, this left my cupboards exceedingly bare. Now I advocate taking this approach, because you're less likely to eat something non-paleo "just so it doesn't go to waste". To make sure my food...

De-Lurk Wednesday: The "Who Are You?" Edition!

Who do you think you are?  No, really. I want to know! Most of the folks popping by here seem to have come here from chowstalker, so I'm assuming that the bulk of you already eat paleo. I want to know about you all: so the big question I'm putting out there is Who are you? What blogs do you guys have? Are they paleo? Political? Whimsical? What is one thing you want people to know about you, or to associate with you? Other than site hits, I don't know who any of you are, and I'd love to change that. Every Wednesday I want to have a new...
