I've started this blog to keep a track record of my journey to eating healthier and living life to the fullest. My goals are to lose enough weight to be under 200 lbs. to start with and see what happens after that. I'm trying to be more active. I've tried starting some new hobbys, running and cycling. I just picked up some new shoes and a Nike+ for my ipod to track myself. Also a new bike being my first road bike. Its a Specialized Allez Comp 2011. To give a little background, me and my girlfriend Darene have been trying different things out to lose some weight and be more active. Weight Watchers being one of them. After trying the diet for a couple months, we realized that it was too much hassle tracking down all the point, looking at the back of every single package to enter the calories, fat, and fiber into a calculator to tell whether we should get it or not and just paying the fee every month to maintain our log. I can say that I did lose about 12 lbs. doing WW. But it all came back...
...after getting back to my normal eating. A few weeks ago I was talking to my best friend Aaron. He had taken it upon himself to start his own diet called the Caveman diet. With one simple rule. If a caveman could have ate it, go right ahead. Pretty much cuts out any processed food. Sounds simple and it makes sense. He soon figured out that their actually was a Caveman diet and it was based on the Primal Blueprint (a book and theory). This went a little more indepth with the rules, there are 10 simple rules. I hope to incorporate all of them into my life. This diet is about living and eating more primal as easy as that. Eat more meat, veggies and fruits. Thats the majority. If anyone wants to check out more info on this goto http://www.marksdailyapple.com/ or www.primalblueprint.com/ I will be updating my weight and my new finding, the way I'm feeling and everything that I can track. I want to be able to look back on this and see if things have really made a change for the better.
Round One...FIGHT!!!
