Andrew - The Mammoth Diet

So KJN. Paul has requested that we all join the Paleo Diet. So after a bit of research I have discovered that the Paleo Diet is also known as the Caveman Diet; eating foods caveman eat. I instantly started thinking about what kind of foods caveman eat, here are some results:

1. Mammoth

2. Saber-tooth Tiger

3. Nuts

4. Fruits

5.Veggies

6. Antelopes

7. Lions

8. Hyenas

9. Other Large Game animals

After learning this I took a trip to Whole Foods, since I thought it would be my best bet for finding the food necessary. Would you believe that they said they didn't have mammoth or saber-tooth tiger meat. They thought I was crazy. They also didn't have the other meats listed above. I thought Whole Foods was suppose to have everything.

Well I left Whole Foods not disappointed.... why you may ask? Well I figured the reason they didn't have the meats needed were because no one was brave enough to challenge these majestic animals. I've been spending most of my nights prowling the hills in search for these creatures. I travel light (usually my homemade spear, bow and arrows, and a few rocks). I sometimes perch up in one of my neighbors trees and wait till I see the creatures. Would you believe that I've yet to see one.... I don't know.... maybe Nevada isn't the correct hunting ground.... maybe they're too fast to see..... maybe they only come out at night.... whatever the case, I will not give up until I get the meat I need to make this diet complete.

Now in all seriousness.... I've been working on my diet. I've cut out a out foods and have been limiting others. As someone who didn't have the best of diets before it's been hard to do. But I'm keeping the mindset and each week I'm getting better at it. I will continue to gain a better understanding of the fuel my body needs and how best to provide for it. I may falter from time to time but with the support team around me I will get back on track quickly.

Due to a foot injury on Wednesday last week my running numbers suffered. However I was still able to maintain the rest of my training through my injuries.
