I'm in super love with kindle unlimited so far and never thought to use it for paleo books, great suggestion! All of the Harry Potter books are available- I can't wait for cooler weather and nights and nights of reading with a cup of tea in front of the fire :)

Good for you, it's awesome you've found a healthy lifestyle that works for you no matter what your motivation. nomnompaleo is one of my favorite recipe sites and I just got the book Paleo by Season and it looks very promising.

I'm far from perfect but totally believe in Paleo- add me!

I don't have a problem with eggs I just HATE them. It would be so much easier if I ate them and I keep trying them to remember I just really do not like eggs. Paleo sadness.

Some people use local honey in small doses daily to help desensitize local pollen allergies once they have been tested to make sure they don't have a honey allergy.

So many! I've been using my spiralizer almost everyday lately and love it pressure cooker knives meat mallet dutch oven, I brown then slow braise so much on paleo it's unbelievable immersion blender cast iron skillet and cast iron grill pan I just got a used smoker but have yet to figure it out- I hope to spend lots of…

Neurobehavioral disorders aren't excuses and implying they are is part of the issues with the stigma against mental illness.

I think I'm getting the hang of cleans! We did thrusters and I got my chin with the bar (ouch), those are going to take some time. They had no problem with my wanting to gift a kettlebell and assured me they are getting more so I think it's just a matter of slowly building up equipment. All good things!

That sounds amazing! I love Virginia ham and biscuits too!

When I used bands I'd get on a box and someone would pull the black band down so I could get my foot in it- I think I made them nervous lol but the help really helped me out.

I just thought I'd bring one or two and leave them there for whomever to use (granted I have no clue what a kettlebell costs nor where to buy one). It's a really small box and they just moved so I bet they are building up to more 'stuff', or I could just ask!

Or is there a reason to start with 35lbs? The one other time I used kettlebells I used a lighter one. . .

Another question: We did kettle bells today and the lightest they have is 35lbs which is way way too heavy for me right now. How very gauche would it be to ask if I could donate a lighter maybe 20lb one to the gym. Using a dumbbell was so awkward and it's going to take me time to get form then stronger and I can't be the…

I made this: http://www.paleocupboard.com/meaty-spaghetti-sauce.html Last night and had it over zoodles for lunch- SO GOOD. Not only am I full, I feel satisfied which is key for me to not head for the processed carbs.

That is so awesome! Happy birthday.

I made a large pot of bolognese to eat over zoodles- 4/5 meals this week and will make chicken curry madras to eat over caulirice later this week- 4 meals. Hopefully this will help keep me on track.

Here is the one I got from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Paderno-World-Cuisine-A4982799-Tri-Blade/dp/B0007Y9WHQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1407029008&sr=1-1&keywords=spiralizer Tomorrow I'm making paleo spaghetti sauce and eating squash noodles and meat sauce all week for lunch and am so excited!!

Nice! Great picture too!

Awesome! So much good advice. We started the clean from a bunch of different positions (high hang, hang, low hang, below knee, power position) and learned to get to those positions before even cleaning (I hope I'm saying this correctly). I think the grip thing is just going to take time- I remember being a little kid when…

i totally understand but it sounds like you are aware of when you have a hard time. Feel free to add me! (I'm the opposite when drinking, I just don't eat at all).

What is a good beef jerky? I've never liked the overly flavored, sweet-ish ones that are probably not paleo/primal.

Good news! Can you row? I feel your pain (well, I will be soon). I took vitamins for awhile and when I was consistent it helped. Also, icing helped me a lot as well. You'll get back to 100% soon!

Thanks for posting! I'm going back tomorrow and am so nervous. Now I have knees issues, have gained weight, and am more sedentary than ever. I remember my first on-ramp and the warm ups being harder than any work out I had ever done. I know I just have to do it and go from there but I'm scared so GOOD FOR YOU!!

I'm getting back on the paleo wagon and it's so important for me to prepare. Have food options ready to go, have meals planned in advance, and have grab and go options like servings of soup or sauteed veggies to take with me (and heat at work) so I have both options and convenience. This involves a lot of grocery shopping,…

If you all post pictures of your food how does one get to the recipes? I post random stuff on my instagram (mostly my dog and food) so if there is a way to attach recipes that would be awesome.

What are air squats? I stopped going to crossfit because of knee pain and learned I have arthritis in both knees (yay at 35) and haven't gone back for fear of pain/injury. Now it's hard to go up and down stairs and sometimes get up- I know working out, losing weight, and being more active will help so I'm so glad this was…

Oh I know, my parent's sent me to Pritikin when I first gained weight- they didn't ask I got sent. It was crazy the lack of meat, salt, and fat in that diet.

What a great post carrieann! Sounds like you are doing it right and have a great plan toward tracking, I love hearing things like this and they only encourage me to whole 30 someday. Keep us posted, I'm sure you will learn a lot with what you are keeping track of and will better stay on track after your W30. Thanks for the…

Smallpale sounds like you are doing great and are being very aware!! Great job losing and eating paleo!! What about focusing on eating only paleo foods until you are satisfied and tracking what you eat and how much but not restricting your intake by calorie count and just pay attention to your body for a couple weeks? Then…

You probably have to live and learn on this one, you are excited and losing weight on paleo and with that will come the other amazing positives of eating paleo- skin improvement, better sleep, decrease in stress, body healing, ect. and as your experience becomes more holistic I think you will either a. not want to cheat or…
