So this is the worst quality picture ever, but luckily I got a new camera as a wedding gift (hooray!), so this kind of terrible photography will never happen again. I promise. However, it's a picture of some of the attendants at my first Paleo meetup in Boulder, which is AWESOME! This post is just to encourage you all to set up or join a Paleo meetup in your area. I put mine together at www.meetup.com, and while it did … Continue reading
You've reached the finish line of the 30-Day Paleo Plan Paleo Challenge! You're done! It's all over! You can finally stop eating all that disgusting prime rib, burger, bacon, and pork chops! Thank God it's OVER. Wait. While this 30-Day Paleo challenge is over, I'm sure many of you have realized this Paleo thing isn't so bad after all. In fact, it's kind of delicious, satisfying, and not bloat-provoking. You probably feel better in at least one way after doing … Continue reading
The 30-day Paleo challenge is almost over, and on Friday I encouraged you all to get blood work done so you can see what eating Paleo has done for your health. Even if you've been on the diet for a while and took no part in the 30-day challenge, it's something you can consider. That is, if you have something to compare it to. If you've done blood work in the last year (or better yet, in the last 6 … Continue reading
We're getting down to the last days of the 30-Day Paleo Challenge. In fact, it ends on February 7th. I hope that it doesn't actually end for any of you, though. I hope you realize in these 30 days that it's worth it to change so drastically and continue the diet as a lifestyle. Now onto the next contest! It's very simple. 1. You make a recipe from Paleo Plan, all of which can be found at www.paleoplan.com/recipes. 2. Then, … Continue reading
Just a short post to tell you all thank you so much for participating in the caffeine challenge. I understand how difficult it is to give up the joe - I know it's a monumental task, and I commend you all for even considering doing it. It warmed my heart to see all the amazing comments and emails from people about how giving up caffeine changed their life. I hope it's at least given you some insight into how caffeine … Continue reading
This post was kindly written by Max Shippee, owner of CrossFit 1440 (formerly CrossFit HAX). You can see his mug and his bio below. Thanks, Max! "So, I just do one burpee today?"

I told you in this blog post that I wasn't doing the 30-day Paleo challenge, but that my New Year's resolution was committing to training my ass off for rock climbing. Well, I have been doing that. In fact, I did everything my coach told me to do (and then some), and it turned out to be too much. I'm now nursing an inflamed forearm and two creaky fingers, waiting impatiently to climb again. I realized that what my coach … Continue reading
First of all, congrats to Megan H., the winner of our last contest! Now onto business. I've been hinting at this next contest for a week now, so I'll finally let its insidious little head rise to the surface today. Some of you have done everything right on this 30-day Paleo challenge so far. Everything EXCEPT give up caffeine. So I'm going to give you a week to let it play out. A week for you to finally give up … Continue reading
Here's one easy workout you could do... I'll admit it. I'm not doing the 30-day challenge with you guys. I have a good excuse, though! My diet is pre-tty darn Paleo, I already feel awesome, and I'm at a weight I really like. It's taken me a while, but thanks to eating this way, I can say that now. What I AM working on during these 30 days (and beyond) is physical training. I may not have resolved on January … Continue reading
