Primal Challenge


Decided to start the primal challenge from marks daily apple.

Ate a protein bar for breakfast.
Did a short workout during lunch.
5 pull ups 10 push ups 15 squats for 5 rounds.

Ate a grilled chicken salad and some fruit salad for lunch.
Heading home to get my grass fed beef eating on!

Here is a review of Good calories, Bad calories by Gary Taubes. I have not read this book but have read many reviews and watched a few good videos of Gary and dig what he says.

So I am at the vet the other day because my dog was not keeping down his food and I mentioned I tried to get my dog to eat a raw meat diet. I said I "tried" because he would not eat the raw meat.
She tells my dog "good job, don't eat that raw meat"
Me: I disagree but that's not the point.
Vet: well if he was a wild animal then it would be ok.
Me: genetically he is no diffrent from a Wolf
Vet: you are genetically almost like a monkey, do you eat like one?"
I say "YES".

Here is a new article that kinda proves it.

Paleo diet

I am a big believer in eating like this, Check out this video. I don't dig the evolution part, but the time line is good and that is how God original made us. To live in a garden, not toiling to raise crops.
Lisa and I have lost 20 or more lbs eating like this plus the Zone diet. We are not super strict but try our best!

got up and did a little running this morning.
Not much at all. Ran about a 1/4 mile warm up.
then sprinted 1/4 mile twice.

I didn't feel that good after the second sprint so I stoped. It been few weeks since I worked out so I will start off slow.
