Whenever anyone asks me about the primal diet, I always mention and advocate the 80/20 rule – follow the primal plan 80% of the time, and you’ll be alllll right.
Well, tonight I used up all my 20% in one gluttonous evening! It started with eating the chips and salsa at Azteca (I usually abstain), progressed to 2 whiskey and sodas and at least 2 cups of popcorn at Pints, escalated to 1/2 a pint of Late Night Snack Ben & Jerry’s, and culminated in a homemade pumpkin bar. Wow. Sugar overload. Why you ask?? Well, I weighed in at 126.5 today, which is about 4 lbs less than where I want to be. I could either eat copious amounts of sweet potatoes or a whole mess of cheat foods. I chose the latter. The ironic thing is that I sent my “primal success story” to Mark Sisson of MarksDailyApple.com, and he actually responded! He might publish my story some Friday! But, by the time it gets published, I’ll be all fat and sassy from ice cream and vegetable oil & cream-cheese laden pumpkin bars. Oh well, it was a nice ride while it lasted…
Take care, and have a wonderful evening! Here’s hoping that tomorrow is a more moderate day! 😉
