Carb craving
Saturday, February 06, 2010 1:08 PM
I wish my current relationship with food was better than it is. Lately I have been shunning all of my favorites, and despite eating Paleo for months now -- barely craving bready carbs all that time -- for weeks I have been craving everything I'm not supposed to eat during this challenge. There was ice cream in the freezer at work yesterday -- a gift of 4 new... Read More...

Remembering that I am not alone
Friday, January 15, 2010 6:40 AM
Sometimes I feel very alone in my decision to eat a Paleo diet. Food in our culture – let’s face it, in any culture! -- is very social. People make food and share it with their families, friends and co-workers. In my office, food is extremely social. Food seems to arrive for the masses on a daily basis from generous Austinites or groups who want their cause to... Read More...

Paleo Pot Stickers
Friday, January 08, 2010 11:58 AM
You might want to grab a tissue or napkin before reading this, because I am about to describe a recipe for a dish that is so incredibly delicious, your mouth will start watering. Just thinking about it makes mine water. A couple of weeks ago, I spotted an article in the New York Times for stuffed collard greens that sounded really good. I wanted to try them,... Read More...

"Applesauce Muffins"
Wednesday, December 30, 2009 12:33 PM
You may be asking yourself right now why in hell I am writing about food when this is a fitness blog. I'm asking myself the same thing, to be honest. But I figure that the food I'm about the write about qualifies as "health" food because it sort of falls in line with primal eating, and it may just keep my boys from getting sick, so here we are. I love to bake... Read More...

Holiday eating
Tuesday, December 29, 2009 11:46 AM
We introduced my family to the deliciousness of our new way of eating over Christmas. Yes, there were sweets -- I nibbled on more candy than I should have. But all in all, I feel pretty good about what we ate. Not only was it delicious, but it didn't make me or Andy sick, and that's saying something. On Christmas Eve, we wowed my folks with wild boar, roasted... Read More...

An almost completely primal Thanksgiving
Saturday, November 28, 2009 9:46 AM
It's a rest day, but we're still munching on turkey and leftovers here in Brummer-land. And even though I'm eating clean again, I didn't really loosen up too much for Thanksgiving. Other than drinking too much red wine and eating a tiny scoop of ice cream with a piece of non-paleo pecan pie, everything else I feasted on was pretty primal, and it was delicious... Read More...

Excited about... tacos? Really?
Monday, November 23, 2009 6:37 PM
Yes, really. This is what Andy and I cooked up for dinner tonight. It's grass-feed ground beef cooked up with mushrooms, peppers, onions and some spices, wrapped up in butter leaf lettuce with tomatoes and green onions. Delicious! I've been looking forward to this all day. It kind of brought back memories from my childhood... remember your mom browning ground... Read More...

"Seal Jeff" and my trip to the scale
Thursday, November 05, 2009 6:45 PM
I love working out in the morning. The air has lately been a little chilly -- just enough so I have to wear my swanky new jacket through the warmup. Then I lose the jacket and get down to business. A chilly morning at Crossfit is only made better with a fabulous WOD, and I loved the one this morning: "Seal Jeff" (named after one of the guys who goes to my gym... Read More...

Cut to size
Sunday, November 01, 2009 12:02 PM
I finally cut my spear down to the correct size Sunday afternoon. It was a long time coming -- nearly 2 years! I don't know why it never occurred to me to cut it. I guess I figured I would become stronger by using a longer spear. As it turns out, I might have avoided a lot of pain in my elbow had I cut it in the beginning. I got it ready, because fellow black... Read More...

On food and perceptions
Saturday, October 31, 2009 2:19 PM
A lot of the blogs I follow have been writing posts left and right about how to say "no" to desserts and stay true to training and nutrition during the holidays, which, I guess, kind of begin tonight with Halloween. We had been planning to go to a Halloween party tonight, and I had been coming up with a strategy so that I wouldn't fall into old eating habits... Read More...

Another 800 sandwich
Tuesday, September 15, 2009 4:38 AM
My weekend runs are definitely helping me. This morning's Crossfit workout was tough, but I think it's the best I've ever done with so much running. WOD: 800m run 15-9-6 Power Snatch (M 135 / W 95) Burpees 800m run I used the 45lb bar for the power snatch This form was tough for me to master, and I don't think I ever did. Burpees were no problem... Read More...

Row, run, row, run....
Thursday, August 20, 2009 4:44 AM
I was worried how I would sabotage this morning's workout, because generally, I do not like to drink the night before Crossfit. But last night, I checked out the Eastside Showroom, which serves from local farmers, and indulged in a little wine and great conversation. Needless to say, I was home a little late and knew I would not be in top form this morning... Read More...

Stomach pains
Sunday, August 16, 2009 3:38 PM
Andy and I had a fancy dinner last night at a fabulous restaurant downtown -- Bess Bistro. The restaurant buys all of its food from local and organic sources, so I love it. I feasted on a steak salad that was to die for. Unfortunately, I also indulged in a few pieces of delicious bread and bread pudding for dessert. It's been ages since I've eaten wheat... Read More...

My body is mad at me
Saturday, August 15, 2009 11:33 AM
I dragged myself out of bed this morning, sore from head to foot. My calendar said I had a running date with my running buddy at 7, and even though I forgot to remind her about it (she's been out of town and very busy), I decided to show up anyway, just in case she did. She didn't show, and even though my body was begging me to turn around and drive home... Read More...
