Even a caveman can do it...

Goodmorning!

Have any of you thought about trying the Paleo diet?  Michael did Crossfit a lot while he was living in Tacoma Washington stationed at Ft. Lewis.  He raved about it!  If you want to know more about the workout, here is the website.  Basically, there is a work out of the day (WOD) and you go to a crossfit gym and do the workout in a group.  The workouts last only 15-25 min, but it's high intensity!  The workouts can consist of anything really including lifting things, running, flipping tires, pushups, weighted squats, dead lifts, pull ups, ect. I can't really get more detailed than that... I'm not a crossfitter (yet!).

So along with crossfit, they promote a diet called the Paleo diet.  Simply put, it's a caveman diet.  If a caveman can't eat it, you cant.  Soooo-- no bread, grains, oils, dairy, legumes and LOTS of whole foods like fruits, veggies, meats, almonds.

Anyways!  Michael and I are going to attempt to do the caveman thing when we are together again, settled, and plugged into a crossfit gym!  Can't wait for lots of grilling of meats and veggies every night :) Speaking of my husband...

He left for HAWAII on Monday!  He is currently on the island and exploring!  He has the whole week of, so I've been getting pictures like this

and this...

Yeah.  Did I mention that it was 37 degrees yesterday morning here in Bethesda?  It's pure TORTURE hearing all of these things that he is doing out there by himself!!  I miss him SO much and I just wish we could both be out there exploring together... oh well, soon enough right?  2.5 more weeks :) :) :)

SO, back to paleo.  I'm attempting to make some paleo friendly muffins this morning since I have some time.  Here are the ingredients:

I'll be back later with the review and recipe.  Hope you're starting your day right as well!  Until next time, Aloha :)
