For the past couple of years, Froody and I have been improving our diet by eating more fruits and vegetables and proteins- more real foods- and less breads, rice, grains, pastas, and fake foods. Believe me, in this modern day and age it's real hard to buy food that doesn't contain chemicals or high fructose corn syrup. You have to be careful and it requires "constant vigilance."
Anyway, during our trip it was even more challenging, so we just ate what the locals ate (with the occasional trip to McD's and etc.). But, now that I'm back home and settled, it's time to get serious. The signs are all there telling me that now is the perfect to get back in that cave! (so to speak):
1) Look Better (Almost) Naked challenge at the gym
2) Froody buying the book "The Primal Blueprint" (and me reading it)
3)New Year's Eve- day of making resolutions!
4)Blue Moon tonight
I mean, come on, who can ignore so many messages from the great beyond? And, besides, tonight is the night to live it up with wine, champagne, snacks, etc. In fact, I'm going to have a nice bowl of granola (hey, this is how I live it up) today, because as they say: eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we (primal)diet!
In a nutshell, the primal blueprint is all about diet and exercise in a way that promotes a healthy lifestyle. As far as food goes, I'm supposed to eat stuff that Grok and his mate ate about 10,000 years ago, before the agriculture explosion. Today I'm excited about it, as it seems like the natural next step to what I've already been trying to do: eat real food.
But next time I'll be ready to bitch and moan about the few non-food foods I still eat that I'll have to give up. :(
