IW360 Day 24- 42 Nov 7th - Wed Nov 25th


Sorry guys way too far behind and way to busy to try and attempt to catch up. I could sit here and try to pound out some posts, but I don't want to rush it and put out some crap just for the sake of putting out crap. So I am giving you an all for one update and will start attempting to do daily updates again.


Stuff happens, life is busy, I hope you understand...if not good thing all the content is free right?

Quick update: I used 2 cheat days, and have had to take a week off from the gym now due to another back injury. All in all its been fine keeping up with the challenge (other than the blogging part!)


What to look for in the future:


  • I've got 2 more recipes ready to drop any day now
  • New website is progressing along
  • A few surprises I am not able to talk about right now - but there is some cool stuff in the works
  • A web store - Paleo at its finest!




Stick around if you'd like there is some good stuff coming in the future, now if you will excuse me I've got 3 assignments due for school and I have to start cooking dinner for my 3 girls!


Cya next time!




They said "Dad, its the blog or us.....of course they won!" (They didn't really say that I was just being dramatic)

IW360 Day 23 - Friday November 6th

Info:
Being that we are creatures of habit (And if you follow the food log at all on this blog you will see I very much am) Have any of you found a favorite Paleo food and eat it all the time? I found an awesome restaurant called FelFel that makes awesome Greek salads.  I get questions...How many Greek salads can you eat? I smile and reply all of them! Just curious, anyone else out there stick with one food more than a few times a week?

They are Paleo friendly, have outstanding service, and delicious food. If you are near DTC in Denver check em out!

IW360 Day 22 - Thursday November 5th

Ahh dear cardio, you are by far not my favorite. I can think of a gagillion other things I'd rather do than run on a treadmill, stair climber or elliptical for 45 minutes. I really need to get back to doing the Tabata protocol which shortened my cardio time immensely and was more effective!

Whoever created this must have thought "Whats one thing everyone will hate?"
