It occurred to me today that I need to get back to training. Got me some new equipment today and I'm excited to put it into practice.
Breakfast was "sweet" eggs. Needed something quick so I cooked them up. Banana on the side along with my usual coffee.
Ribs for lunch along with 1/3 of a cucumber, 3 carrots and a bunch of grapes (no pun intended...really).
Had a second coffee after lunch.
Pulled pork in Boston lettuce wraps for dinner, with a banana on the side.
Physically, I'm feeling "off" today. Not sure why, but I feel like I binged on gluten yesterday. I feel sluggish and bloated. Mentally, though, I'm continuing to feel sharper/more clear with each day that goes by. My mood is awesome too. Amazing what a change diet can make! But shhh...don't tell the haters. Mind you, they're typically too busy espousing (great word!) the "benefits" of grains to notice. Sigh...one day they'll learn, I can only hope.

Day 7/100 - One Week In
Super super tired this morning. Not sure why. Got 6.5 hours of sleep last night...more than I usually get.
I feel an epic nap coming on tonight after work!
Eggs with spinach and peameal bacon for breakfast. Banana and a black coffee on the side. I'm sure there will be more coffee in the books today.
God, Tim Horton's coffee is awful...
Salad with two chicken breasts for lunch along with some carrots. Blueberries and a nectarine on the way home.
Duck breast with a sweet potato and apple chutney-ish side. Ate at Borealis in Guelph for the bday dinner. I like duck more and more each time I eat it.
Paleo pineapple upside-down cake for dessert, made by yours truly.

Day 6/100 - Sllleeeeeeppp
6.5 hours sleep last night. Nowhere near what I've been getting over the weekend but I still woke up refreshed. It's a good feeling.
"Sweet" eggs again for breakfast along with a smoothie (banana, strawberries, almond milk, coconut oil, protein powder) and an orange.
And a black coffee of course. Too bad I ran out of my delicious stuff, so I had to stop at Tim Horton's for the liquid deliciousness this morning...
Leftover pineapple chicken for lunch with 3 carrots, 1/3 of a cucumber. And a bunch of strawberries and blueberries to finish it all off.
I get a lot of comment from people about how healthy I eat. Gotta keep it going so I can truly look the part.
After soccer, had a half rack of ribs and some mixed veggies for dinner.
Oh, and had some pulled pork and grapes before soccer.
Tired after playing tonight and ready for bed. Time to hit the sack!

Day 5/100 - "Sweet" Dreams
I dreamt last night that I wad eating candy. I woke up quite pissed off with myself, then I realised it was a dream. Man this is weird. First time tat has happened to me!
Another epic sleep last night. A full 11 hours this time. Feels great.
Breakfast was a "sweet" eggs recipe I found. 3 eggs, cinnamon, maple syrup, raisins and dried cranberries. With 3 strips of bacon on the side. Had some of the leftover Paleo apple crisp from last night.
Snacked on some dried fruit and nuts throughout the afternoon.
Dinner was Paleo pineapple chicken with bacon-wrapped asparagus. Probably one of the best meals I've had in a while!
5 days in and I feel great. Looking forward to keeping strong. NFUs

Day 3/100 - Clarity
Third day today. Incredibly I'm already feeling mentally clearer.
Had the day off so I haven't had anything to eat (it's noon as I start to write today's post).
Caught up on sleep last night. Got a solid 11 hours and I needed it. I was out like a light.
Ate completely clean again today. I'm posting this on day 4 so I forget the exact foods.
Omelette for lunch (the usual).
Pork chops, sweet potato fries for dinner.
Another day down, and feeling good!

Day 2/100 - Instant Change
Firstly I just want to say how much better I feel already. My body is readjusting to a proper diet and I feel clearer already.
Breakfast today:
3 eggs, 3 pieces of peameal bacon, cup of spinach
Smoothie with almond milk, banana, strawberries, coconut oil and a small scoop of protein powder.
Oh, and a black coffee of course!
Quick lunch today. A whole whack of beef jerky and some broccoli. Grapes and raspberries later.
Hungry as eff after work. Ate about a 1/2 pound of pulled pork and an apple.
Still going trough sugar withdrawal. Pretty badly today at that. But it'll pass and it's more than worth it.
Half a rack of ribs for dinner. Wasn't super hungry but needed something.
Forgot to post this yesterday so here it is today

Day 1/100
Very tired this morning. Lack of sleep as usual. Just have to grin and bear it until Friday, then I'll be able to sleep more each night.
Eggs, peameal bacon, spinach, onion and garlic in am omelette for breakfast. Apple and a black coffee on the side.
1/4 chicken dark, cucumber, grapes and raspberries for lunch. Ate a Larabar too. So delicious.
So far I've ate nothing out of the ordinary. This is what I typically eat each day. It's the post-work drive home where I eat the crap. I will avoid it today. NFUs.
I was sorely tempted to buy candy on the way home. I held out tho. Ate an apple, some
Beef jerky and pistachios.
Dinner was a half a chicken breast and some
Salad. Oh, and a ton of water. Other than the sugar withdrawal, I'm feeling really good.
Looks like day 1 us in the bag.

100 Days of Paleo
Why bother with this?
I've felt like sh*t for the last 4 months. I haven't had the time to train, I've been eating like absolute sh*t, and sleeping...well, I nap a lot, to make up for the lack of sleep I get every night.
This is my turning point. I want Rich 2.0 back - the person I was physically last summer. And I want to go beyond that.
There was a time that I was an example for some people to follow. I will even stretch so much as to say that I was an inspiration for some people. It's time to be that person again.
I'm going to come out and admit something, to get the ball rolling: I am addicted to sweets. Not addicted as in a "sweet tooth", but addicted like a meth head needs a fix and will sometimes do anything for it. It's pathetic, and it scares me.
Before I went strict Paleo the first time in January 2010, I was worried that I was on the path to Type-2 Diabetes. If I keep eating the way I do now, I'm sure I'll be there. So it is massively time for a change.
No more sweets. No more candy. I've ate it almost every day, in one form or another. I sometimes convince myself it's okay, and it's "just a bit"...it's a fully unhealthy behaviour, physically and psychologically.
It stops here.
Day 1 is tomorrow. Day one of the first 100 days of the rest of my life. It's time to turn this ship around. NFUs.
