Decent day on my Primal comeback. First of all, I got a decent night’s sleep that was much needed after waking up so early on Saturday. Loy and I headed out for what is normally a six mile walk but the skies were very threatening, and I didn’t want to be three miles out on a cool morning having to walk back in the rain. So we ended up doing six half-mile loops around the hood. I hate walking in circles so three miles was enough—especially considering I had walked 18 holes of golf Saturday and did a couple hours of mall walking. So I feel I’ve done a good job of following the Primal Blueprint rule of doing a lot of slow movement. It was a good complement to the tabata intervals I did Friday.

I stayed on nutritional track as well. Breakfast was eggs, bacon, and onions cooked in coconut oil. Lunch was a small grass-fed ribeye off the grill along with some mustard greens cooked in bacon. And finally I had some pork that spent eight hours in the Crock Pot. I drank coffee, tea, and water–all unsweetened. I have to admit that as I sit here typing this, I’d really like to have a Cherry Coke Zero but I’m not gonna do it.

It’s back to work early tomorrow. I’m thinking that I’ll probably fast until I get home but that’s not in stone. I do know that I’m going to keep the total calories down during the week as part of my overall approach. I’m not sure about exercise. I have to take care of some errands at lunch so anything I do will probably have to wait until after work. The weather forecast is for a cold front to approach tonight with rain tomorrow, so it’s iffy. I might just pick up my kettlebell from the gym and take it home. That’s the tool I used the most when I was dropping from 242 to 212–can’t go wrong going back to it.
