My Boyfriend's A Primal Chef...
Last night, my boyfriend surprised me with a homemade primal dinner (yes, he made it himself!). I'd been craving bagels lately so he found this recipe and made the primal version and the carrot french fries we've been enjoying lately. Isn't he such a great primal chef?!

London Olympics 2012 part 1
Here's just a little sampling of some of my Olympic photos. We were able to see the France vs. Japan women's soccer game. I'm STILL a little jet lagged and trying to wrap my mind around the trip itself!

30 Day Primal Challenge
This past year, my boyfriend has been living the primal or paleo lifestyle. And I spent the past couple months waving all kinds of grains in front of his face.
After seeing how much it changed his life and made him happier, I decided to find out more about primal living for myself. And decided to give it a 30 day shot.
Wondering what this lifestyle entails? You can read more about it here. It's more than just changing the way you eat and the type of physical activity you do. The ten primal principles cover everything from sleep to sun exposure to stress management.
Throughout the next 30 days, I'll be documenting my experiences going primal. I thought today I'd start with sharing what my food intake was for the day. Part of the lifestyle entails cutting out all processed foods, grains, sugars and legumes. The diet emphasizes the importance of protein and natural fats in a diet.
Breakfast: 2 eggs scrambled and raw blueberries
Lunch: salad with Salmon on top and balsamic vinaigrette dressing (without high fructose corn syrup!)
Dinner: Moroccan Chicken Casserole (recipe can be found here). Instead of using rice, a head of cauliflower is to be put through a food processor and the texture actually turns out very similar to rice!
Snack: Almonds
At the end of the first day, I'm not hungry OR craving any grains...hopefully it stays this way!
Have any of you tried to go primal? How did it work out for you?

Today marks my first official day living the primal lifestyle.
