Day 1

"Entire civilizations have lived for thousands of years on 50 or fewer grams of carbohydrates a day."
                                                          - Mark Sisson, The Primal Blueprint

Today I start my 90 Day Primal Challenge on April 8, 2012. I will blog 1x a day until July 7, 2012.

I originally got into primal in November but only half-fasted it. Then I made a choice that right after my 24th birthday on December 20th I would go primal. So the day of my birthday I was not in the mood to eat any cake. Actually I was having such a blast with the people at my party I really didn't eat much of anything that day at all.

So on December 21, 2011 I pigged out and decided that for today and the next day I would eat whatever I wanted and then on December 23rd I would start my 30 day challenge. Fast forward two days and on December 23nd, I dove in. From December 23 - January 23rd I ate completely primal.

After a month, I noticed huge results. Much of the redness in my face was diminished, I felt better emotionally, physically I had more muscle mass on me, and my face was more defined and less puffy. Things were just working better for me. So since then, I've gone to eating primal probably 80-90% of the time. Since then my body composition has continued to change, with overall more definition in my body which is the easiest thing to notice.

So now I'm doing another challenge for myself. A 90 Day Primal Challenge. 30 Days was a piece of cake for me. So why not 90 days this time and see what happens to my body? (I know it's brilliant....)

A few days ago I just got blood tests done so I will be posting all my medical stats for the world to see sometime next week so you can all follow along in my progress.

I am using a scale that measures body fat & weight. I know, I know, I know....body fat on scales isn't accurate. Okay, great. That's not the point. Overtime, I'll have an idea with where my body fat % is going.

I will eat solely Meat, Vegetables, and Fruits.

I will keep nuts, seeds, and dairy to a minimum.
I will limit Alcohol Consumption to 1 4oz glass of wine/day.
I will limit Coffee Consumption to 1 cup/day with a splash of whipping cream or heavy cream.

My physical activity will consists of Walking, VERY short springs, and other forms of low intensity working out. 5 or 10 pushups at a time, lifting heavy objects, etc....

I will keep a Food Log, a Supplement Log, and an Exercise Log so you can see exactly what I did and didn't do. This also helps me psychologically so I can't get away rationalizing to myself. In the food log I will keep track of 2 things, hunger levels and also what I eat/drink. The reason I use hunger levels is that let's be straight here, some people eat when they are not hungry - me included. This way I am forced to become aware of my hunger levels (0, super full/stuffed/can't eat anymore - 5, starving/belly grumbling)  before I actually eat. Sometimes I eat because I'm bored and then I only catch myself after. By doing this - I can notice whether it's something else driving my actions to eat.
