Tastes a little like flour mixed with elmer's glue. No more of those. 11 pounds down and ready to start doing metrics! So I'm approaching a milestone. In May of last year, I started the Zone. I was 276 at the time. I saw some success, got down to 260-ish, then the holidays came. When I started Paleo I was about 256. As of this morning I'm 245.5. The lightest I've weighed in the last roughly two decades was 239.5 in 1999, just before a surgical procedure I got. Never been able to get back to that. That's scale weight, so I'm not paying too much attention to it, but my energy level is still huge, so its very encouraging to lose the fat without adversely affecting my workout. Anyway, breaking 240 has been a goal of mine for a while now, and it looks like I'm about to do it without even really trying all that hard with Paleo. I need to come up with another goal, I'm not sure scale weight is going to do anything for me anymore. Although it is nice to see the body composition changes. Overall I'm finding level 1 paleo is pretty easy to follow and I'm definitely going to continue after the challenge is over. Three cheat meals makes it easy to have a life but still get some great improvements in overall health. Just my thought for the day... I learned today that hard-boiled eggs with no salt are HORRIBLE.

The prices are comparable to whole foods, and they deliver fruits and vegetables right to your door. Drop off is once a week, and they get the most local, in-season fruits and vegetables available (Colorado has a short growing season, so the rest of the year, some stuff isn't local) You can set preferences so you never get stuff you don't like, and they send you an email a few days before delivery to tell you whats coming and ask if you want to change anything. They also sell free range beef and wild salmon and other stuff. If its warm out, they put ice packs in your box so it doesn't get warm. The medium box is a better deal than the small but its a lot, so I ordered it for every other week. https://colorado.doortodoororganics.com/about/ourfarmers.php Also, Vitamine Cottage as a lot of different kinds of raw nuts (Steve, they have raw, unsalted macadamia nuts) and dried fruit that doesn't have additives. And their nuts and dried fruit are cheeper than whole foods. They also have cheep almond butter (but the almonds are roasted and salted so not quite paleo) Hey, I started door to door organics again.
