I was hoping by now that I would be able to exercise a little harder than I have been and that my back would have seen some serious improvements but it's not coming along very fast.  Some of that could be because I got derailed for a little while with the whole almost losing my leg thing.  Maybe it will never come back to full strength.  But I'm also getting stagnant with the weight loss.  So I really am looking forward to see what we'll be able to do with this whole caveman diet that we are starting on Monday.  Our Crossfit The Club group is doing a challenge starting the same day so it's perfect timing.  I went to a class with them on Wednesday but it was more advanced than I am and I felt a little lost because they all seemed to already know about the whole paleo thing, but I really don't.  So Katie and  I will be spending time this weekend researching the whole can and can not haves.  What I have noticed is that there seems to be different level of paleo eaters.  Some add some dairy, like whey powder, whereas some won't even do that.  Some say they will only eat organic and some say they don't care as much.  I probably should have done one of the earlier challenges with everybody so I know what the heck I'm doing.  But still, better late than never. 
We've enjoyed cleaning out our fridge of everything yummy this past week and each day my daughter Megan says she's really going to miss whatever meal we were having.  Today was a great summer grilled hot dog meal.  I also am going to miss them.  I'm probably going to have to go get one last Slurpee tomorrow since that's a summer favorite. 
We've been looking at all of the specialty foods like coconut milk and crap like that, that we need to buy and also realize that eating paleo is going to be really expensive too.  So this isn't really the greatest time to start it for us but we'll always have some excuse of why it's not a good time to start it.  So we're doing it and I'm glad that we'll be doing it together.
I also have to rethink how I do the whole picture thing.  I've been slacking on doing the daily picture because only a handful of people in class remember that I'm even doing this blog (heck, I've almost forgotten that I'm doing this blog) so they probably think that I'm a total tool when I ask someone to take my picture after I workout.  I tried to do the self portrait in the mirror thing but it just showed a big flash but I still want to document my daily progression so I think I'll just make Katie take a daily picture of me and we'll see how that goes.  

The whole daily picture is getting dull so I made my friend Laurie stand in this one.  I think my green socks and her pink jacket really complement each other.
