I found the most amazing book called “The Primal Blueprint”! It’s exactly what I was talking about yesterday. It is so on point that I cannot fully express my excitement at the discovery of this treasure. Check out the link to the author’s site at marksdailyapple.com. You will be astounded.

I just started the book this morning. I purchased it after a search on “primal” in the nook books store on my tablet. There it was! Mark Sisson has captured the very essence of what my thoughts were encircling yesterday. He has opened a door that I am willing to walk through and then take a look around at the geography. I must say that I do not want the degenerative neurological disease or cancer that my dad has gone through of late, nor do I want to endure the degenerative bone disease that has made my mother a constant fall victim with her vertebrae falling off of her spine. I am going to reprogram my genetic map and fix the ailments and issues that currently make my life a little less easy than it should be.

How many of you want to take a chance with me? How many of you are willing to go from your current state of “disrepair” to feeling incredible and ready to take on this crazy world with fervor? Follow my blog, chime in on these posts, and let’s go! I will be joining Mark’s posting community on his website to keep up with what he has to say, and I will bring you links to this information. Each of you can also log on to his site yourselves and become blog watchers. It will be so fun!

One more thing today….I am not, nor have I ever been, associated with the program mentioned above until I stumbled onto the book this morning. A few things that you must all understand about me are that I am a researcher, a college professor, and a chef, and I jump in and take the proverbial bull by the horns when I decide to do something. This blog may be purely entertainment for some of you and knowledge for others, and you will get out of it what you desire. I am not asking you to follow “the pied piper”, but I am asking you to research and think for yourselves on this one. This is my personal weight loss journey, and I am merely trying to share what I am learning with you. So, go grab a green smoothie and leap into this beautiful day with gusto!!

I have been thinking a lot as of late about the need to get into really great shape. It’s time to go primal with this and get back to the nitty-gritty of eating things that are all natural and really good for me. My daughter was here for the Christmas holiday, and she is in phenomenal shape. What is she doing that is so different from the norm? It can’t be that she is just a much smaller person than me with a smaller frame and petite bone structure. She has my DNA, so it has to be something else. It has to be primal instincts for eating. In other words, eating what my body needs when it is hungry, not when my internal sweets clock tells me to eat. Also, a friend of John’s, (my boyfriend), talked with me about her inability to eat glutin, and it sparked something in my head. What if the reason that I am, and have been, feeling so bad is because of complex carbohydrates and glutin? What if I try this out for 21 days and allow my DNA to “reboot”? Well, that’s what I am going to do!

I talked with John, and we are going to join a gym tomorrow. It’s got to be done before the year ends, and I have to make it work. I will be 45 years old in 2012, and I am not pushing so close to 50 without getting healthy. So, here we go!
