Getting serious

Ok so the first primal banana-skin has been slipped upon. I am in the final months of my phd, about to move house and have a new job. A new diet approach felt like too much and I fell into a pit of sugary, salty processed and evil carbs!

Our that is my story, but actually it was just a big excuse. Now I am back up to 196lbs (or so, too scared to weigh self).

I need to get serious about this because I am sure it will work. Also I watched a great video at Mark's DFaily Apple about re-programming genes and it really made me think. The decisions about what eat affect not just my weight now, but my future heath. With Atkins, because it was so easy to lose weight really quickly I gopt used to thinking 'oh I can gain a bit this week and lose it the next'. But keep doing that and it adds up to creeping weight gain.

So the new rules:
- Eat Primal wherever possible but don't go crazy when can't and use it as an excuse to eat rubbish for a week
- Do the Primal Blueprint exercise plan of lifting heavy 2-3 times a week; sprint once a week and the rest of the time move slowly, rest or play
- Avoid dairy for a while to see how it goes. Add in later (about a month later) to test for intolerance
- Make an effort to get more sleep
- Fitday when have time for the first month of so

I start tomorrow with a food shop and a good breakfast. I will also weigh, measure and photograph my goodself.
