After two solid days of eating 100% paleo again, I feel fantastic again. I was surprised at how quickly I recovered from the crap-filled weekend. I was even more surprised when a co-worker I hadn't seen in a month said "Look at you getting all skinny" because I felt like a real heifer for a few days after that vacation. For the next one, I will be making a WAY bigger effort to stick paleo as much as possible.
Today's workout with Amber consisted of learning the "snatch" one of the basic moves of CrossFit (I'll admit, it makes me snicker every time I hear that word). Then I rowed for 6 minutes straight, which wound up being just shy of 1200 meters. Speaking of crazy names and lingo, I think it might take me some time to adjust to the verb-age these CrossFitters use. But I did find a good resource to start understanding. It even goes over what all these people I keep seeing are. I mean, let's face it, "today I did Cindy and yesterday I did Murph" just doesn't sound right.

Being a big fan of scientific research and evidence-based practice (and I mean REAL research, that is done properly), I tend to find articles that are of interest to my nerd side. One such article is this one, where a Harvard doctor tells us not to drink milk. Honestly, other than the prestige of being a
"Harvard" doctor, I don't see where he's got a whole lot of grounds to this other than common sense and basic knowledge of human metabolism and hormones, it was an interesting find to me. Also, I don't think Yahoo! Shine is the most reputable publisher, but you know, sometimes the National Enquirer is right. Sometimes.
