Spaghetti Squash Bolognese This post is sub-titled “I ROCK” because this was amazing. I basically stole the recipe from Rachel Ray, who I hate but sometimes she turns out some awesome dishes.  I halved this recipe because I had most ingredients here except for ground pork. I didn’t have any carrots either which are good for color and texture but I managed.  I also had to improvise a bit with chicken brother instead of beef stock and I had to use some tomato sauce instead of paste.  I just reduced the amount of liquids to account for the sauce and it turned out perfectly.  I also added more red pepper because I like it a bit spicy but otherwise this was good. I tossed it with spaghetti squash instead of pasta and it actually added a nice sweetness that worked well with the sauce.  Everything was organic, grass-fed, uncured, and natural.  Aside from some salt and some sugar from the wine, it’s pretty paleo.  Enjoy!

#primal #paleo Blood Pressure Effects

I have always had borderline to high blood pressure.  I mentioned a couple weeks ago that I had effectively dropped it recently to 122/75 which relative to my past readings was pretty darn safe.  I readings can vary depending on a number of factors but I’m excited to note that today it is 102/71.  Actually is that too low?  Not sure but will do some research. My resting heart rate is at a pleasantly calm 56 beats per minute.  All this on a diet of meat, tons of saturated fat, and tons of fruit and veggies.  Gotta love it!

#Crossfit update: Fight Gone Bad

Today was my first “Fight Gone Bad”.  It wasn’t really all that bad.  My form sucked on SDHP evidenced by my sore back this morning but ther rest was pretty good.  I could have done more reps at various stations if I wasn’t feeling nauseated.  I guess that’s a matter of met/con and I need to work on it because it’s holding me back.  All in all not bad with 186 for my first time.

Dinner: Salmon with roasted fennel, cherry tomatoes, red onions, coconut oil, lemon, and thyme.  Delicious.

#Paleo #primal challenge re-do

Ok folks…I feel like a bit a of a failure but I’m pressing forward.  I folded on the 4th and gave in to all sorts of alcohol, bread, desserts, etc.  I am back on track as of yesterday and so my official challenge starts 7/5 for 30 days.  Wish me luck and check back often.

Breakfast this morning, 3 eggs scrambled with a little coconut oil, a plate of steamed broccoli.
