I’ve still got 6 days to go. At this point 7 pounds and counting. I love it. After 3 weeks it is easier than ever. If the food is processed I don’t even give it a second look. I know there is the how much fruit is too much debate. In the past week I have increased my fruit intake by 50% and slightly decreased my vegetable intake. I got to the point I could hardly look at another piece of broccoli. I lost 2 pounds this past week. So my weight reduction has been steady. If anyone has not tried this yet I didn’t think I could do it, it gets easier as you go and I feel great. If you started and fell off, please try again.

I was following/doing the Primal Challenge at Mark’s Daily Apple. My results should be posted there today (Alexandra). In short, while I didn’t lose much fat, I lost inches in some places and a few pounds. More importantly, I feel great and have a whole new outlook on my diet AND exercise routine AND what I’m capable of. I also finally figured out what my real goals are (and that includes not looking like a figure competitor I want to be “small” but lean and muscular. Not bulked out (for a woman), even if I am lean. Those goals take a different approach. ANYWAY, my full final thoughts should be up today!
August I will be continuing my pull-up protocol – I’m following Pavel’s pull-up workout to get myself up to 10 or so pull-ups. It’s been a goal for over a year. Yesterday I did sets of 4, 3, 2, 1, 1 (unassisted). Woohoo!
