Paleo smoothie recipe ideas
Paleo smoothie recipes! Are there any that you swear by? I'd like to have one for breakfast each day since they're easy and quick (when I don't have time to make breakfast at home, I end up getting something unhealthy at work, which is no bueno).

Books/blogs on changing behavior - recommendations?
What books or blogs have you read that have motivated you to really change how you approach losing weight? After my 3,795th failed attempt to lose about 100 extra pounds, I've decided to approach this from a different angle.
