My Journey
So why should I eat like a "caveman"? This is the question I asked myself when proposed to try it out myself. So I looked into the subject - deeply, and became intrigued. I gave it a try. After only two weeks of actually being "paleo" as we say, I had become convinced! Now a few months into it, I have never felt better, and it will take a lot of convincing to get me to go back to eating "normal" - check that, I will never go back to that! The purpose of this blog is for me to track my journey through the "paleo" lifestyle as well as provide a convenient and accessible source of legitimate information regarding the subject.
Why am I embarking on this adventure? Well, it has become obvious to me, from all the information I've sifted through over the years, that this lifestyle is the most conducive to optimum health and longevity. I have personally seen individuals lose large amounts of weight, reverse insulin resistance, decrease anxiety, improve mood, increase energy, decrease stress, and just feel better in general.

So yesterday was the first day of actual 1/2 marathon training. Ran 5 x 200 on 2.25 minutes. Almost forgot how much sprinting can utilize every muscle in your body. Even my ribs are sore! Feels great though to get back outside. Thinking we're gonna be in the best shape of our lives in a few weeks.
