Real food and fitness do not come in a box.

I'm 49 years old and up until about 5 or 6 years ago, I fought with my weight most of my life. I've been a pretty healthy eater overall for quite some time. Although I was eating what I considered pretty healthy, I knew there was a lot of room for improvement. I started by avoiding highly processed food, then progressed to cutting out wheat, then dairy and finally going full on primal for my eating. I've only been doing this since Feb. 10, 2013, but I'm eating so much better and I feel really ...
I'm 49 years old and up until about 5 or 6 years ago, I fought with my weight most of my life. I've been a pretty healthy eater overall for quite some time. Although I was eating what I considered pretty healthy, I knew there was a lot of room for improvement. I started by avoiding highly processed food, then progressed to cutting out wheat, then dairy and finally going full on primal for my eating. I've only been doing this since Feb. 10, 2013, but I'm eating so much better and I feel really good. I haven't really had a problem switching over, maybe because I did it incremental steps.

I'm a runner and run in Luna Sandals. As far as footwear for work and casual use, I only wear zero drop shoes, Vivobarefoot, Softstar shoes, Luna, Unshoes and Xero Shoes.

I'm married with 2 grown kids and 3 grandchildren.

Hi, thanks for commenting on my Freezeout blog. Hope you get a bib for Robie as well. Volunteering is a great idea; I may do that if I don't get in, at least then I'll have a better feel for it for next year.

Thanks for your comment on my blog. I thought a lot of my problems were just age. I'm 49 also. Turned out maybe none of them were or at least most of them weren't.
Cheers,
Birgit

Good luck on your half on Saturday. Weather should be great; I'm running Ste Chapelle on Sunday!

Thanks for commenting on my blog. I'm all for making changes to your diet as needed. Higher fat and lower carbs was not the answer for me. I keep thinking that eventually I will find the right combination and get my fat burner going again!
