It turns out it was my Dad, using a user name I wasn’t familiar with, so I’m not there yet either

I figure you and I both just need to keep trying -and especially making sure that we enjoy the process, since there’s never a guarantee of outside validation. That said, I really am still pleased with the review.

Wow, congratulations!! I’m happy for you

I wish I could get great reviews from people I don’t even know…I finally posted a LJ entry about how I probably won’t be able to write a webcomic that makes any sense unless the only people who will ever read it all proofread it beforehand and edit at least 50% of it. I even had to have my sisters proofread the entry complaining about this fact, and even then it took 3 months for me to muster the courage to actually post it…

Thanks! I’m hoping.

Right now the hard part is getting used to doing a lot more prep and cleanup, but it is super nice not having to think about what to make, just follow the directions. I’m trying to learn as I go, too, so that I can regain the ability to plan and execute healthy meals on my own.

There are lots of sites with Paleo recipes, even if you don’t do the full plan, and i’m finding it very tasty so far, at least when I don’t use too high a hat and singe everything… So far, our suppers have been chicken and shallots (garlic) with mashed sweet potatoes, (which I totally loved!) gingery beef and broccoli, and pork chops breaded with almond flour. (though if I remember correctly, that last might be unfriendly to you…) (and I scorched the breading, anyway. :-p)

Yeah, what he said :-p Actually, I read about someone substituting shallots for garlic, and figured it ought to work both ways. It was delicious, though the garlic and rosemary got a little singed. Also interesting: a lot of the recipes have me cooking with coconut oil, which is really yummy!

I can’t wait to hear how it goes! That’s so cool that it includes menus and shopping lists. That makes it so easy!

Good luck! Get svelte!

unfortunately, Anthea’s digestive systems tends to not agree with onions, so that’s not really an option…

I might look into that! Not sure Randy would be on board, but I’m not supposed to eat dairy at all, and we are advised to stay away from Gluten. My biggest issue with all that though, was … not knowing how to cook for that kind of diet. Salad gets boring quite quickly.

Good for you guys! I have friends who do Paleo. They mostly do it because it makes the most sense to them, and they both feel better on it than they do otherwise.

I would actually probably substitute onion for shallot if it were me. I actually substitute shallots for onions sometimes; Alex makes a mean tuna salad with shallots in it.

That’s awesome! I’m lucky enough to have several Crossfits nearby, but I haven’t taken the Paleo challenge yet -it’s so hard to think about giving up my breads and pastas!

Oh my gosh, you have my total admiration for doing CrossFit – I have heard so much about it but they don’t have it where I live yet. I am however experimenting with a Paleo approach to my diet at the moment, which is closely linked to CrossFitters!

Keep working at it! I think you will turn a corner and all of a sudden notice a huge improvement. Or, that’s what happens to me.

Kind of funny you posted this today, we drove by Monadnock today, even though we summited Mt. Greylock (in the Berkshires). I guess I may be doing my first backpacking trip around Monadnock (Monadnock to Sunapee, or at least part of it) Memorial Day weekend. I cannot wait.
