I'm a work in progress

Since my ultra race in Boise, I've taken a bit of a "detour".

I'm not discouraged, I'm just figuring out what I'll be eating when I make the switch to real deal primal.

I've been a vegetarian/vegan for about 20 years. In the last year or so, I added fish into my diet. I also eat eggs and dairy.

I don't think I can do meat yet. Maybe in a couple months. Maybe never. I'm not concerning myself with this issue yet. My biggest challenge is what I need to eliminate, grains and sugar.

I may be wishy washy today. But one thing I know for sure....

On April 23 I turn 55 years old. On my birthday I will be fully switched to a primal diet. I'm hopeful that this will be my diet for the next 55 years ( I plan on living to 110). At the minimum, it will be my diet for the next 12 months. I will be a primal marathoner for at least 1 year.

I keep my promises. Last year on my birthday I committed to training for a 50 mile race. Next weekend I'll be completing it in Las Vegas. Compared to that challenge, eating a primal diet for a year might not be too hard!

I hate change

but something needs to be done.

I've completed 39 marathons.

I'm still chunky.

Here is the proof...

San Diego marathon

I'm the one in front, eat my dust, girl behind me!

But still...

I'll never look like the Kenyans that train here in Albuquerque. But is it too much too ask to just look kind of fit? That's all I want.

After 15 years and 39 marathons, it's time to shake things up. I'm ditching the pre-race bagels and well, post race bagels. See ya pasta dinners and sourdough bread and brownies.

Get off my back!

It's time for this carb loving marathoner to become primal.

This should be interesting...
