Success Score: 6 Intuitive Meals I didn’t eat anything substantial until around 1:00pm, when I ate a frozen burrito. I didn’t really want to—it was tortilla, cheese and legumes—but I didn’t have the time to really cook anything before work. I did make a salad loaded with primal goodies, though, which I ate for my…
Primal is not a diet, but a lifestyle. It’s about eating foods we were meant to eat and analyzing what we put in our bodies, how we use our bodies, and how these things combined affect us mentally and physically.

I’m a little surprised at the results, because I don’t feel like I did all that much! I think part of the weight loss can be attributed due to measuring on a full stomach at 5:30pm (last week) and on an empty stomach at 7:34am (this week), first of all. Second, I’m not sure if…

Success Score: 10 Day #6 included the Primal Celebration Dinner, a Listening Challenge involved with the Primal Celebration Dinner and an Extended Duration Aerobic Workout. Sadly, none of these three things happened this week. Truthfully, the 21-Day Body Transformation Challenge was written with a 9-5 M-F work schedule in mind; not the crazy schedule that…

Success Level: 9 Modern Foraging I did this yesterday, actually, and it was a huge success! Ben really wanted Chipotle for dinner, and I agreed knowing full-well that I couldn’t touch their tortillas, rice or chips (which are all amazing). As I mentioned in my previous entry, I opted for the steak salad with nothing…

Success Score: 8 Honor Hunger This was pretty easy, but definitely complicated by sleep deprivation—something that’s kind of improving on my days off, but not so much on the days I work. Likely due to sleep deprivation, I didn’t eat my first meal until about 1:30pm. I forgot my lunch at home, so I ended…

Success Score: 4 Primal Celebration Dinner Planning I’m opting not to do this, since it would really only involve me anyway—unfortunately my family is either 1) unsupportive of this diet or 2) too far away to really share in this. I’m starting to eat more primally every day, so I don’t really feel the need…

Success Score: 4 Primal Shopping Spree I skipped this, since I basically did it yesterday. Note to self: next grocery trip, hit up Costco! Duration Aerobic Workout I woke up a few hours before my closing shift at work started, and simply did not make the time for this like I should have. However, it…

Success Score: 7 Kitchen/Pantry Purge Admittedly, I failed a bit at this one. Ben has been waffling on whether or not he’s actually going Primal with me, so I really didn’t get rid of anything (except for food in our fridge that has seen better days). Our three boxes of ramen packets are all his….

I weighed myself around 5:30pm tonight, which is obviously not the best time! I had also eaten a meal an hour or so prior which may have skewed results. From this point on, I will be weighing myself & measuring BMI every Sunday morning. Unfortunately, given my retail schedule, this may fluctuate by a day…
