go primal
August 1, 2011 – Started the primal diet on May 31st, so this marks the two month mark and we are going strong.  Hate calling it a diet, but loathe calling it a lifestyle change.  Whatever it is, I’m thinking I will be sticking to it.  One sandwich in 2 months.  WOW.
September 14, 2011 - UPDATE - still Primal and have taken on the 30 Day Primal Challenge to hone in a bit on things and re-jump the weight loss engine.  Today's challenge was to write in your Primal story - which I did.  While my story has not ended, it has gotten off to a spectacular start.
