    Hi again.. weight loss is coming slowly for me.. 22 since goign paleo 6 months ago.. 4 last month nothing since. But that is common on the reset for women..not a lot of weight loss until leptin sensitivity is gained. the leptin reset is 6-8 weeks long, extremely low carb.. 50 grams or less for most. 25 grams or less for those needing to loose more than 30 lbs. it is strict paleo with eating 50 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking.. no cardio and no weight training until certain things have taken place in your body.

    here you can find more info on the subject

    http://jackkruse.com/the-leptin-rx-faqs/

    That really doesn't seem awful to me. I can never seem to eat a ton of carbs on Paleo. However, 50 grams of protein for breakfast! Good gravy!! I hope it helps with your weight loss =)

    the 50 grams of protein in the morning is a real bear.. it's been hard to do every morning

    Ok, guys, posting today's journal entry.

    Journal Entry: Day 1 : Success Score (1-10): 10

    Kitchen/Pantry Purge

    Hardest part: Throwing out the peanut butter

    Best part: a healthfully stocked kitchen

    Comments: Getting rid of the double mocha, ranch dressing and peanut butter was tough, but I love having a kitchen full of healthy, whole foods.



    Restock Preparation

    Primal shopping resources: Southwest Va. Farmer's Market, Kroger

    Comments: I had never shopped at Kroger before, and found some great bargains on meat that made it possible for a little more variety.


    Increase Daily Movement

    Ways you can increase daily movement over the long-term:
    1. Use of my elliptical

    2. walking the dog

    3. Riding my horse

    4.

    5.

    Describe today's movement endeavors (morning, midday, evening stroll, etc.):

    1. Did 2 hours of re-stringing barbed wire fence. It is hard, physical work, and felt like plenty today.

    2. Rode Sully after working on the fence. Would not ordinarily have done such physical tasks back to back.

    3.

    Primal Essentials

    Items acquired today: Dried veggie chips to help with munchie cravings, coconut oil, pistachios

    Comments: Love the dried vegetables, and can't wait to get my food dehydrator so I can dry my own without the added veg. Oil.

    Summary Comments

    Daily energy levels 1-10: 8
    Hunger level between meals 1-10: 6
    Satisfaction levels with meals 1-10: 9
    Struggles today with Primal efforts: Didn't get in a walk
    Benefits noticed from Primal efforts: Stayed full longer after meals
    Daily highlight/s: No splenda, no salad dressing

    Daily needs-to-improve: Need to maintain staying away from the splenda and dressing.

    Let's see how you did!

    Really? No one??

    If anyone is still participating today without the book (I know graysgirl has it now) Let me know and I'll post today's challenges.

    I shed 4 lbs of water yesterday! Of course it's unofficial. I have to weigh every day, I've found it keeps me motivated, at least at first. But it's only official once a week :)

    Graysgirl, morninglory, how did y'all do yesterday?

    Yes, I see it now :) Great job! I realized I didn't do "play" thing specifically, but riding my horse is my form of play, so I covered it unconsciously!

    I'm feeling great today, losing tons of water still, which I always feel so much better when I'm not retaining, and I'm rarely NOT retaining! :p I'm wondering if the Splenda has had anything to do with that little problem??? I've never been brave enough to just quit it, but here we are, half way through day two and the only unnatural sweet thing (that is, not coming from a fruit or veggie) is the piece of gum I chewed while walking just now. It's not nearly as hard as I had thought it would be, oddly enough.

    I have doubly enjoyed my morning coffee without sweetener, and yesterday was the first time in my LIFE i'd ever drunk unsweetened coffee. So these are huge steps for me. :)

    Veggie chips rock!

    Grok on!

    I kind of played by accident too...the hoops just jumped out at me as I was going through the door to work in the garden. Yay hoops! We have horses, but they are only good for lifting heavy things (bales of hay). They are adopted wild horses and not broke to ride. :(

    I quit artificial sweeteners over a year ago and have not missed them ONE BIT. I was using sugar and drinking REAL sugar sodas, but have switched to stevia drops in coffee and iced tea. Beats soda~diet or sugared. I had about two weeks of nasty withdrawal/detox from sweeteners, HFCS, and MSG last year, but felt amazing after that. Eating Primal makes it real easy to stay away from those now. Artificial sweeteners have about half a gazillion side effects, and MSG would certainly cause fluid retention. You are brave to quit the sweetened coffee. I am not so inclined just yet. :)

    I went ahead and posted the journals for the week's challenges. I didn't go into a lot of detail in the descriptions so maybe they can be a topic of discussion...get everyone's take and ideas. And more information for anyone without the book. I'm going to have to change my schedule up a bit, the way Mr. Sessions has it planned out doesn't quite work in my own schedule. Right now, the journals are as he has it, I'll somehow note changes I make to fit my life. :)

    I'm a lazy cavegirl :P but I'll try to keep up. I really do mean lazy. Purge the kitchen? Nope, I sure didn't. I got rid of the problem foods or problem drinks as the case may be. I love simply lemonade!! I did some minimal shopping since I just feed me and I hate to cook. I did weigh in and set a goal of 6 pounds which would make me very happy!

    I'm a little hungry today and sooooo tired! I have the workout clothes out and I even dug out my HRM just to see what range I usually hike in. I just ate the best apple ever, well half of it anyways. Fruit just tastes so much better when you're not living on snickers bars.

    Ange, Congrats on the numbers moving! Weighing in every day would only depress me lol

    If you got rid of stuff, that's purging. :) Since it's only you, you probably didn't have the full pantry to deal with and probably don't need a whole lot of groceries to feed yourself. Find some nuts or something high in Primal fat to eat to deal with the hungry. Being hungry just makes it more difficult, and it doesn't have to be. That will probably will help with the tired too, although that can be the detox/withdrawal thing and you just have to wait it out.

    I am finding that without even TRYING I walk out of my Primal heart rate goals. And that's only around the neighborhood. I am only imagining how high it will go when I actually head to the mountains and HIKE...up big hills...carrying weight! Also, doing the weight workout took my hr out of the 55-75% range easily. I don't know if that means I am terribly out of shape or what. My resting heart rate while watching tv last night was 58, which is pretty good, so again, I am flummoxed by getting into 80-90% of max so easily.

    I don't have any weight loss goal for this challenge. I want to lose weight, but I think that will happen over the long run with the Primal WOE and lifestyle. My goals are about getting the thinking stuff to be second nature, get the carb intake lower on average (50-75g would be great on a very regular basis), and make the fitness part habit...moving more every day. I weigh in more than I report...the report right now is on Sunday morning each week. I would probably do well to weigh even less often, the fluctuations are so annoying and sometimes discouraging.

    What is simply lemonade? I love lemonade, so how are you making it Primal? Iced tea is good and full of anti-oxidants (yay Irish Breakfast tea!), but the variety would be nice.

    Cavegirls come in all types! And it could be you will adapt better if you go more slowly. Me, I'm an all or nothing. It's so bad that, if for some reason I can't complete some little part, I get discouraged and quit. :p Working on that!

    Weighing can be discouraging, but with me, if I don't, I'm not accountable. Just something I have learned about myself over the past few months! But I never report more than once weekly, and sometimes just every other week.

    Fruit is SOOO much sweeter if you're not eating sugar, and especially Art. Sweetners! It's amazing. I bought some kiwi this weekend, and I think I might whip up some coconut cream have that and kiwi for desert tonight. Maybe. Haven't decided yet! :)

    Excellent day for you! Even though it's all or nothing, even the little bits of all are good! (I wish there was a cheering smiley cuz I would pick her!) When you can't, for whatever reason, do it ALL, doing the best you can is definitely awesome!

    I had plantar fascitiis once after I started a new job and was on my feet lots more than I had been before. Holy OW, Bat Woman! I ended up massaging my foot as soon as I woke up in the morning before I got up and walked much, along with stretching it, and massaging it again as I was going to bed. It helped a lot though I don't know if it made it better faster, or if my foot just got in shape from the being on it. Also REST ICE COMPRESSION ELEVATION...especially the first two...might help. NOW I am dealing with what the podiatrist is telling me is degenerative arthritis in my foot/ankle. I've been in one of those awful plastic boots for two and a half weeks and have a week and a half to go in it. It hasn't really stopped me from walking, but it has kept me from heading to the mountains for these last nice days of Autumn. :sad: Here's hoping for happy feet for us both, and soon!

    I live with family, so if I had it my way I would have needed a truck to purge the cabinets lol. My mom is a dedicated carb junkie, but I really don't think about it. Since going Paleo I've gotten really picky about what I like to eat so I really only have a few 'have to have' foods. The tired and hungry is from the sugar, I just need to grin and bear it for another 2-3 days =)

    I was doing really well on the hike and then I hit the first big hill. Sheesh!! Which put me at about 80%. Sigh. I was able to get it back down fairly quickly but still there are 3 big hills on this path. I guess that might take some work.

    I am a little surprised that my calorie intake has been so high. Maybe because I've learned to like red meat again. Simply Lemonade is sold in the juice aisle It's water, sugar, lemon juice and natural flavorings. Not paleo, but better than most sugary drinks. I don't like sugary drinks of any kind so I usually add just a splash to my lemon water. Even so, spiking my drink all day leads to a lot of carbs and like I said not paleo friendly.

    I've decided to weigh in on day 7 and then day 21. I expect to see some results this week but then I think it will taper off suddenly.

    I used to weigh in everyday back when I was young and my metabolism still liked me lol. Now I seem to remain optimistic until I do weigh in. I think I'm awesome and then the scale disagrees which usually leads to a pastry of some sort :P

    I just had kiwi for the first time since I was a kid, and LOVED it. Yummy dessert, 1/2 a kiwi smothered in whipped, unsweetened coconut cream.

    Yes, I intend to do the PEM tomorrow. Looks simple enough. May have to forgo the pullups because I don't have a pullup bar, and nowhere to put one (we rent, no holes anywhere!) I love planks and squats, though. And I have an exercise bike/elliptical that I can employ as well.

    No pullup bar here either and pretty much non-existent upper body strength. I think push-ups will be more than enough, but I do have a kettlebell if I'm feeling adventurous =)

    Here's my journal for today. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Graysgirl/view/primal-challenge-day-2-162477

    I did the PEM today. I can't do a regular pull up...but there are ways to modify and to do it without a bar. Or outside on a gate or playground equipment. Don't laugh... I lie down under the dining table and pull up on the edge. Gotta start somewhere, and I have wanted to do a pull up for a long time. Because it's there...ya know? ;)

    Primal Celebration Dinner Planning


    Comments: This is something we do several times a week anyway. I had one of these on Monday, had my parents over to share in a roasted turkey. Will get together with family on Sunday, if not before, and the biggest challenge is making sure Steve and I stick to Primal regardless of the menu.

    Boycott Industrialized Food

    Best part: Money savings
    Hardest part: None
    Comments: This is something we've done unconsciously for years, due to budget constraints, so it's no big deal in this house. Homemade tastes better anyway!

    Full Length PEM Workout

    Success score: 5
    Location: Living area
    Duration: 20min
    Reps completed: 2
    Push ups set 1: 20 Set 2: 10
    Squats set 1: 30 Set 2: 21
    Pullups set 1: n/a Set 2:
    Plank (time) set 1: 30 Set 2:15
    Comments: Am really out of shape. Have no place to do pullups. Did the 'easy' version of all of these. Having done these before, I know my numbers will go up quickly. Did the 5min warm up on the stationary bike.

    Play

    Spontaneous play session: Walk with Blue
    Location: up Doe Run and back home through the hay field
    Duration: 20 min
    Hardest part: Nothing hard about it!
    Best part: Blue's happy!
    Comments: It was a beautiful fall day, and I even finished harvesting my garden when we got back.
    Steps taken toward grand play outing: none
    Hardest part: Just scheduling, not knowing what my weekend holds and how I will be feeling.
    Best part: Looking forward to doing SOMETHING!
    Comments: This will likely be in the form of a long ride on Sully. Unless Steve wants to participate, in which case it will likely be a nice long walk.

    Addendum, dragged hubby out for a 15 min stroll after supper. It was awesome! I feel like I have done so well today. What about y'all?

    Cindy, it sounds like you are doing just fine! Mm, love fresh tuna. FedEx me some? :)

    Can't wait to put my new dehydrator to work tomorrow! Going to start with banana peppers from my garden, and some carrot and zucchini chips.

    I am going to go NUTS!

    *I'm* excited for your dehydrator!! Have fun and share your results...verbally, I mean. :)

    Here's today's journal(s). I did two days so I am on the schedule I want to be on for the fitness part.

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Graysgirl/view/primal-challenge-day-4-162486

    I have questions about the whole keeping one's heart rate in the 55-75% range. I seriously do much of anything the slightest bit challenging and I am up into 85-90%. Today I rode up a hill and was near 95%. Like one of you said, recovery time is quick, and I probably don't stay up there, maybe even COULDN'T stay up there, more than a few minutes. I don't really consider myself in terrible shape...my resting heart rate is less than 58 and while I am overweight, I am also pretty active... So this throws me off...confusing.

    On that note, I'm going for a short walk and then going to bed. :)

    G'night!

    Excellent! I am the same with the fitness. I consider myself fairly fit, as I ride often, walked every single day before my foot problems a couple months ago, and generally love activity. I'm not what I'd call a couch potato until after dinner :)

    I don't know the answer to your question. It sounds like our resting heart rates are about the same too... mine might be a 60 now. I have yet to pull out my HRM, perhaps I'll do that for my big walk today! I go more by respiration, and push myself so it's just a little difficult to carry on a convo while working.

    Looking forward to the honor hunger part of the challenge today! I'm only eating when I'm feeling hungry. I find this part of Primal, along with IF, extremely liberating.

    Just checking in. How is everyone doing today?

    I'm feeling a bit less energetic at the moment, but I had a really active morning and woke feeling great. No breakfast, had a few almonds before a really strenuous walk. Snacked on a piece of terrine after. Lunch was awesome. I sauteed chicken livers in coconut oil with peppers, onions and celery and garlic and rosemary. Yum! My cals are super low right now, and having a hard time getting motivated to do the PEM for today. But I'm not even slightly hungry.

    Supper will be roasted cornish hens, mashed cauliflower, and maybe either kale or spinach. Something really green

    I'll get this workout done... I think I can I think I can I think I can...

    Absolutely. We had the most gorgeous day here, 70ish and sunny, with the golds still clinging in the trees. Most of the other color is already gone. Supposed to be 20 degrees cooler tomorrow, and rainy. Blech!
