Mouth Money – 30 Days, Day 28

As I bring Mouth Money V.1 to a close, I’ve been asked “what’s next?” Nothing changes for me – I’ll continue to eat “clean” as I have been – but with the self-satisfaction of having “walked the walk” publicly. I will relieve myself – and my three readers – of the dutiful daily FACEBOOK/TWITTER updates [...]

Mouth Money – 30 Days, Day 27

Saturday, August 7, 2010 As if the delicious food and great nutrition didn’t give me enough ammunition in favor of the “Primal lifestyle,” today I spent 12 hours navigating the best of NYC tourism – from 10 AM to 10 PM – in a pair of Vibram Five Fingers. At first I was slightly worried [...]

Mouth Money – 30 Days, Day 25

Thursday, August 5, 2010 I’m proud of Thursday’s 30 Days accomplishments. Each meal was conceptualized in about 5 minutes and assembled/cooked within about 10-15. I’m learning to be maximally creative and time-efficient, which rocks my socks (or my Vibram Five Fingers) off. Breakfast: Half an avocado, sweet potato with cinnamon, and bacon. I choose the [...]

Mouth Money – 30 Days, Day 24

Wednesday, August 4, 2010 Family is coming in town. It occurred to me yesterday that in the busiest times it’s most important to stick with your healthful Neanderthal-Paleo-Primal path. Deviating could only make a stressful or tired moment worse! Health habits have to be perpetually “in the plan.” Failure to plan = planning to fail, [...]

Mouth Money – 30 Days, Day 23

Tuesday, August 3, 2010 Preparations are afoot for an impending visit from THE IN-LAWS! This basically means I’m yelling at Husband a lot and vacuuming the dog to pre-empt having to vacuum the floors again. Excuse the fuzzy photos – I had to juice up the camera today. With everything going on, the last thing [...]

Vegetable Who-Hash

This recipe is from Mark’s Daily Apple. I switched some of the proportions around and named it after my all-time favorite Christmas cartoon, but all credit goes to the amazing health resource that is MDA. I’ve very much enjoyed working with root vegetables lately. They’re durable, they last forever in the refrigerator, and they’re tough [...]

Mouth Money – 30 Days, Day 22

Monday, August 2, 2010 Are we annoyed with Mouth Money yet? Only about one week left! …until MM V.2! I have signed up for another 30-day challenge! I will not necessarily post meal blogs to Facebook or Twitter beyond Mouth Money V.1 (unless my mother and the Kardashians find that state of affairs unbearable). This challenge [...]

Mouth Money – 30 Days, Day 21

Sunday, August 1, 2010 Quick clarification: I did not “work out” this weekend. I took 2 days off. (gasp!) I prefer to train about 4 days per week. That’s what I was doing before “Mouth Money,” and that’s what I’ll continue to do to make careful and steady progress in the gym with ample time [...]

Mouth Money – 30 Days, Day 20

Saturday, July 31, 2010 I felt like too much of a geek to take photos of the Paleolithic Solution Seminar this weekend (review post to come), though I was tempted. Robb Wolf is a really, really down-to-earth, insanely well-educated, public-service-minded, paleo-passionate individual. The take-home of his seminar – aside from all the science-y stuff that [...]
