So for a few weeks now I've been toying around with the Paleo diet and what it has to offer. I've been startled at how amazing the recipes are and how for the first time in a VERY long time, I can tell when I'm full.
So the basic premise of paleo is 1/2 veggies and fruits 1/2 meat + nuts and oils.
No grain. No dairy.
In another post I'll go over the science behind paleo and why I think it makes sense. Right now, let me tell you about how I ate pizza!
Instead of grain, I used cauliflower. No cheese on this Paleo pizza. Instead I topped it with red sauce, basil, and apple-chicken sausage.
THIS is how it turned out:

Today I also did one mile on the rowing machine in 10 minutes (at level 7 resistance), and a mile of interval training on the elliptical.

I decided to "go" 25 miles
I decided to "go" 25 miles a week. That can be accomplished by any means. Walking, running, biking, rowing. I just need to make sure I "go" 25 miles a week. How will this pan out?
When I work 12 hours shifts, I average 10,000 steps. That's 5 miles.
I am working 3 12s next week. That is 15 miles there.
The other 10 I can make up by walking 3 miles each day I'm not working.
I can bicycle those miles
Or even row those miles.
It sounds crazy, but it's a goal. I will GO 25 miles a week. Somehow.
By the way, that means 100 miles a month. I like the way that sounds.

With my favorite walking buddy, Shyia!
I can bicycle those miles
Don't worry, I don't always wear a helmet with a tiara on it. Or bicycle in the middle of Target.
Or even row those miles.
this is a picture of the monitor after a typical 10 minute rowing session
I row about 1 mile in 10 minutes, so if I doubled that, I could get 2 miles done each time I row. It sounds crazy, but it's a goal. I will GO 25 miles a week. Somehow.
