You can send all but the blu to me. I have no plans to eliminate dairy next year...
Sure - It'll be very very blue by then!0 -
My New Years goals are to meet my goal weight - hoping by June, but would be happy just to do it this year (25 more to go), stick with Primal at least 90/10, do at least 1 or 2 Whole 30's, get my hubby and kids to eat more "real" foods and less junk, keep up with my running so I can run a few 5ks next summer (who knows, maybe even a 10k), and I really hope to incorporate more strength training thus year. Oh - I would love to do Insanity - but will just have to see about that one!!0

After eating a lot of non-paelo items over the holidays I am so glad to be back on track! This holiday was truly a reality check on how certain foods make me feel - and not good at all!
My goals for 2013 are as follows:
1) try and eat mostly paleo/primal (80/20)
2) lose 45 pounds by the end of 2013
3) To complete 30 day shred
4) Complete Whole300 -
I'm going to try to move towards eating more primal myself, and continue to convert family members...I'm up to three so far.
I've also signed up for the Tough Mudder in May, so finishing that is a goal for this year as well.0 -

A great post! 10 NY resolutions that are NOT ABOUT WEIGHT LOSS
Remember folks, the paleo diet isn't a weight loss diet, weight loss is a side effect of not consuming the SAD. Happy NY! 0 -
Sugar creeped back into my diet over the holidays. Not as extreme as before I went Primal in July, but it seems to be steadily increasing. I will get rid of sugar in 2012. I will also participate in at least 3 5K's, even if I have to run/walk them. I will continue to work towards being able to run a mile continuously. I will add strength training to my workouts.0

I am doing the whole 30 again starting tomorrow. I really want to stay mostly paleo when it is over. The last time I did a whole 30, I went crazy when it was over. Change is a slow process. I have definitely learned that over the past 15 years. Ten years ago, I started Weight Watchers for the first time. If you'd have told me I would be doing a Whole 30 now, I would have thought you were insane!!!:) It takes time for most people to change and grow. I've learned that no matter how many times I fall down, just to get back up and start over. I also plan on doing P90X again. Started it last summer and had to quit 2 weeks before completing. I will also complete a 5k with my husband in 2013, even if I walk some.0

My 2013 goals:
1. Complete 21 Day sugar Detox
2. Finish January eating clean
3. Prep meals weekly (i.e. Sunday meal prep and making sure I have meat down for meals)
4. Complete Disney Coast to Coast Challenge (2 1/2 marathons)
5. Start really leaving everything on the gym floor. I have a tendency to hold back because I am afraid I won't be able to finish, then I always end up feeling like I could have done more.
Unfortunately I feel like my main goal this years has to be shedding some serious body fat. I have lots of CF goals but feel like it will take losing a significant amount to weight loss to make them happen.0 -
My 2013 goals are:
Goal 1: To lose 12 pounds, by April 1!
Goal 2: To run 6 races in 2013.
Goal 3: To establish a strength training plan.
Goal 4: To not be afraid to push my limits.
Goal 5: To feel good about myself on the beach in Aruba in August!!!0 -

great posts, love to read them!
My goals are to stop my sugar intake...holiday stuff mostly, but my hubby does like his sugar fix every coupla days ( reeses peanut butter cups, etc.) and ...my goal is to be able to live my beliefs and leave his goodies alone!! .....I didn't have a problem my first primal year...so what gives?
Mostly though, I want to change how I've been working out....a slave to chronic cardio :sad: just to be able to eat more great primal foods. (hey - MFP does tend to push the exercise to more eat mentality and I took it to heart....) but now that eating primal is almost second nature, I want to refine how I use the great nutrition I'm putting in my body and build a better metabolism.
So, I'm changing to heavier and more intense workouts, rather than the long slower stuff. I figure there is a fine line between cruising on a treadmill for hours at a low and slow speed (to earn calories) and killing ones metabolism doing that. So, experimentation with intervals AND more weight resistance as well. I'm 54 and what all the other MFP's would call "skinny fat"....well, we will see about that!! Bring on 2013!!
Good Luck to you too! :drinker: <~~~~~~me and my bullet proof coffee0 -
I've been reading about paleo/primal eating for about 9 months now but life has been busy. I've gradually increased my protein intake (former vegetarian here) and decreased bread in general. Today starts a new year for a new me!
My goals:
1) Increase walking/general activity
2) Eat home-made meals for all but one meal a week
3) Earn my sweet treat (planning on a 95% clean/5% other diet) until I get to my goal weight.
I'd love to have some friends along for the journey!0 -
Shifting away from primal/paleo because my neurological health problems have been gradually getting worse ever since adopting paleo eating. I don't know if this is temporary or not. Seeing neurologist next week to get the skinny on it.0
-
I need to cut out all nuts, chocolate and coffee. It's unfortunate but those three things bother my gut like nothing else. This year I would like to finally figure out what's going on in my digestive system and heal it. This has been a 38 year journey and I'd like it to end.0

My 2013 goals:
1. Quit smoking again; new e-cig supplies should be here this weekend.
2. Get back to 120lbs and STAY THERE.
3. Wean myself from decaf coffee with stevia to decaf green tea or herbal tea with NO sweetener. I hate unsweetened coffee! Yuck!
4. Drink more water.
5. Convince my co-workers that eating "bad" foods is NOT treating myself, but harming myself.0 -
2013 Goals:
1. To finish my Whole30 (Starting today)
2. To stick to primarily Paleo lifestyle.
3. Get back into running and comfortably run a 5K again.
4. Be able to say "NO" to foods that are bad for me.
5. Get back into my jeans and feel good about myself.
6. Get into a gym routine and stick with it.0 -
I love this thread!
In 2013 I want to:
-be able to do "regular" pushups - just one, but maybe more! - by the end of the year.
-go cross country skiing again
-have my grocery and cooking routine down pat for maximum Paleo and maximum yumminess!
-try to be more dairy free than I am now. But gods I love yogurt.0 -
My goal is to have more willpower when it comes to sugar and eat more vegetables. I have no issue with most things paleo and love how it makes me feel when I'm strict, but if there is cake in my presence I MUST EAT IT. lol The same for pizza. It's like my brain dies and I forget that I will feel like crap after I eat that.0

-Switch to black coffee. I need to cut out the creamer.
-Try my damndest to complete a 5K (I'm not a very good runner).
-Try two new Paleo recipes every month
I hadn't ran in years and I completed my first 5k in August. I used the couch to 5k program and now I am a 'runner'. I used to hate it and now I love it. I am super slow, but it doesn't matter because really you are competing with yourself. I am happy as long as I cross that finish line.0 -
Some of my Primal New Year goals....
1) Eat better and have fewer cheats
2) Obsess less about the scale and focus more on how I feel and how my clothes fit
3) Complete a 30+ mile backpacking trip
4) Run a 5K
5) Do a pull up!
I started eating Primal in 2011 and had several health set backs(3 broken bones in one year - ouch!) I started Crossfitting in April 2012 and finally regained full mobility of my knee this fall. I hope that eating clean and continuing to progress in CF will help me with my goals!0
