It finally dawned on me this morning just how big the changes in my lifestyle are going to be. As I was preparing breakfast, it occurred to me that the only food that I would be able to continue to eat for breakfast was the butter that I was not in fact using, as we'd run out. Everything else was not allowed under the Primal Blueprint.
No bread, no raspberry jam, no hot chocolate, hell, I can't even have breakfast cereal. Still, if I look at the bright side, it does mean I can have bacon and eggs for breakfast. It also gives me more encouragement to get off my butt and build that chicken coop, so that we can save money on buying eggs.
Despite the drastic changes I'll be making to my lifestyle, I'm actually looking forward to the change. Despite not being able to have some things that I enjoy, I'll be allowed to have things which I've previously not been able to have (hello, full cream milk...). Diet's not the only thing that's changing, either.
From now on I'll be needing to make changes to how I exercise. Under the Primal Blueprint, exercise consists of three things, moving around a lot at a slow pace, lifting heavy things and running fast every so often. So, to take care of these three things I'll be taking daily walks and running on the weekend. The lifting heavy things is rather harder to do, though.
I don't own any weight lifting equipment, nor can I afford a gym membership. So, with that in mind, I'll be doing plenty of body weight exercises. I'll be using the Prison Workout, a workout designed for people with no special equipment, as a guide for this.
