Yes, yes, yes, let’s just get this outta the way right away. The entire East Coast felt an earthquake today, after one hit southwest of Washington, DC. People here in Philly were all a-tizzy, but everything is fine overall. My shower curtain shook, I was not experiencing benign positional vertigo (as I first thought), and that was pretty much that. Earthquake over. Next topic.
In other news, I have links! There are three of us undergoing this 30-day challenge, and they are (besides me, obviously) …
Erica (AKA “Chopz”). Her Web site is here.
Jenn (nickname to be determined). Her Web site is here.
As I noted yesterday, we’ll be starting our 30-day Ancestral Health Challenge on Thursday, September 1, and running it through Friday, September 30. As part of this, Jenn, Erica, and I will be eating strictly paleo. What is paleo, you ask? Glad you did. Here’s a nifty little infographic about that, following some other info:
I know it’s a lot to digest (pun intended), so I’ll leave it at that for now. I’m still trying to understand it myself. The basic tenets of eating paleo include:
- No grains, sugar, dairy, legumes, or processed seed oils
- Fruit, nuts, and seeds are ok, but in limited quantities
- Yams and/or sweet potatoes are ok, but also in limited quantities
More tomorrow!
