While my blog entries may have dwindled but not my spirit for primal. My 15 pounds remains off!
One things I've learned or reconfirmed.... plan ahead. I wasn't getting enough meat protein. RESULT: My energy level was low. I find it tiresome always making a whole meal every meal. Hence, the plan ahead.
I've increased some exercise but not enough. Not sure why I cannot get on the bandwagon. Di set a challenge and everything. I wonder what will kick start me! Uh, myself!

54 Days
I've dabbled in various past foods. Fries, chips, nachos and beer. Some tasted great, others didn't. It's a matter of will power with those that taste good. For the most part, my body isn't fond of those items. Bloatation (macdougall word). Blah. Not a fan of that sensation.
Energy is there but my inadequate sleep isn't allowing me to reap the full benefits. It'll come.
Not much else to report, except that I am still going happily with tests that I am passing!
A solid 15 pounds GONE!

Meatzaaaaaaa!
Ash! Oh Ash! My life would be dull and mainstream without him. As much as I complain, he's good stuff.
Well, the latest request... Meatza. Meat wha? Pizza with a meat crust. Hmmm. All I could think of is heavy.
Then he comes home with a package of ground Buffalo and website with the way to do MEATZA.
You spread the meat to the edges of the pan with a lip if you can, much like pie dough. I doused it with sea salt, black pepper and dried basil. Bake at 450F for 10 minutes. It shrinks. I drained the liquid (gave it to Lucy). On went the tomato sauce, whole pieces of FRESH basil, cheese, mushrooms, onions, red pepper and salami prosciutto. Oven for another 10 minutes or so. I think I broiled too, to crisp up the meat and brown the cheese.
There are some improvement... next time, more sauce, more toppings, cook the onions and eat more slowly. The kids loved it!
The website was Free the Animal, Rick Nikoley... a primal eater blog.
Other discoveries or faves:
Frozen banana with chocolate, nuts, cream and coconut is some tasty. I tried it with coconut milk but you couldn't taste the coconutiness. Would like to try it with the banana mushed up.
Trail mix.... roasted and salted pumpkin seeds, pecans and raisins. YUM! The raisins are like candy.
Cauliflower and yam or sweet potato.. prefer the sweet potato version. Boiled together, then mashed up with cream and butter. Yum.
I bought a pork loin and sliced some thinly for lunches, about 6-8 oz worth. I also bought the frozen chicken breasts from Costco... yuk. Must find a way to use those up without having to TASTE it.
That's it for now.

Verdict ... darn tasty.
