Married life is bliss and it has really caused me to become rather lackadaisical about posting. We participated in the Clark Garden Fall Festival run back in early October and I am just now posting… that is lax. I feel like a catholic stating, “it has been umpteen years since my last confession.” In my case, it has never happened but I must try to be more diligent in getting local news and happenings out on the wire. Here ye, here ye… the run is complete and neither of us died.

Sweet Potatoes – Sweet Carbs
Adapted from and inspired by Mark Sisson at Mark’s Daily Apple. My wife will tell you straight-up that one of my favorite foods is a sweet potato. I carry one to work nearly daily as part of a primal lunch. In Mark’s words, “Quick! What’s a suitable, Primal source of post-workout carbohydrates?” Primal enthusiast will tell you without batting an eye, “yams and sweet potatoes”. If, for whatever reason, you need some extra carbs “sweet potatoes and yams” are the answer.

Primal -the Grok plate
The topic is LUNCH! My personal favorite is what I like to call the Grok plate. Mark Sisson’s Primal Blueprint focuses on protein. Keeping the carbs as low as possible for accelerated weight-loss.
