PRIMAL!!!

No...I'm not yelling.  Just excited! 

JP and I have been going Paleo - actually Primal, which is similar to, but not exactly Paleo.  I'm still holding on to a few of my old habits - like Stevia in my coffee - but overall we have made the whole change and it feels great.

We've been working toward it - or something like it - for a few years, so it's really not that much of a stretch.  The big difference is not considering this our "healthy" eating and then pining for a cheat meal - or even having a "cheat" meal.  Through our own experience - being very aware of how we feel after eating lots of simple carbs or refined sugar - we have become convinced that eating that way is not a benefit.  But eating Primal does allow for some indiscretion, but I am finding that eating this way without indiscretion is more self-reinforcing than anything.

And the Primal lifestyle - for more on what this is click here: Mark's Daily Apple - is something we are doing more research on.  It challenges a lot of my pre-conditioned ideas (what he sarcastically calls "Conventional Wisdom"), but the idea of what it is all about just feels right. 

***This is where I say you were right to a certain friend - the only person I think who reads this with any regularity - it just took me time to get around to it!***

I'll try to keep updates on our progress here.  So far, feels good. :)
