It's the busy season for most of us.. and there are goodies everywhere.. how are you staying the paleo/primal course for the holidays?

    So far doing well. Dodged a whopper of a work morning tea Friday gone, went along to socialise but wasn't tempted to partake. I am doing the leptin reset and am feeling quite motivated. I've decided not to go to the work Christmas BBQ and the cocktail party - I decided I didn't want to test my resolve with those two activities just yet

    How goes it for you?

    I am doing ok...but not really being strict..considering its the holidays...I know..I should do all or nothing...but I do full primal m-s..and sunday is where I may take it easy.

    Once the holidays are over..I will go ahead and do more primal..the whole 7 days...

    Rememer Mark Sissom's philosophy 80/20 rule...don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

    If you are doing primal at least 80% of the time over Christmas and New Year you are doing really well.

    Thats what I think..doing the 80/20..but aiming for 100. After all we have to live ...and besides..eating great food..regardless if its paleo or not..and spending the time with family..for me..will always outweigh Paleo.

    For instance..first christmas with my dad in 5 yrs..he wants lamb curry with rice..and dammit..thats what I am making..and I will partake..and I will enjoy myself..

    Thank you for reminding me of the 80/20 rule. I've been so good til the past two days...I think I did my '20' for the month fo December in the past 48 hours!

    Though I love my family, I'm glad the Christmas tins full of sweets are going back to their home tomorrow. My resistance held out all through the weekend, but finally I had a cheat and eat with a ziploc bag of cookies. Mercy.

    Back on track beginning tomorrow!
