This weekend marks the first chance that I'll have to do any of the Primal exercises beyond "frequent slow movements". The "lift heavy things" portion will partly be covered by rebuilding the dry stone wall that we recently removed while fixing our drains. The "sprint" portion of the exercise will come during a bike ride planned for Sunday. If the wall building doesn't give me enough heavy lifting, then I'll be throwing in some squats, pushups and situps, and may be a bit of the Sledgehammer Workout.
Last night also opened my eyes to how easy it may be to fall off the wagon. It was a typical Thursday night, I got home from work, and had only about 45 minutes before I had to go out again. In that time I needed to get changed, eat, and prepare stuff to take with me.
As I stood in the kitchen, pondering what I could make for tea in the limited time available, I decided to go for quick and easy, and just made toast, with jam. Now, while I'm easing into the Primal lifestyle, that's not such a big issue, but I can see that if I'm not organised in future, that it will be far too easy to slip into bad habits.
I guess the key to success is to make sure I have as much preparation as possible done in advance. That, in turn, means I'll have to have an idea of what I want to do for tea in advance, so that the preparation can be done beforehand. It's amazing just how much of a shake up my life is getting, just through wanting to eat healthier...
