About Me

I am a wife, mother of two, and a CareerMama who has gone Primal. After having my second child, I found it difficult to lose the last 15 pounds of baby fat. My usual regimen of counting calories and circuit training just wasn’t cutting it. I was starting to doubt that the method of losing weight that had worked for me in the past was the right one for me today. My husband began reading The Primal Blueprint, and after reading about 1/3 of the book, he decided to try the diet. I, however, remained skeptical. There was no way I could give up pizza and pasta. And I didn’t like very many vegetables.


After being on the diet for only a couple of weeks, my husband’s pants were looser on him and he reported a weight loss of about 4-5 pounds. My desire to fit into my jeans forced me to take the plunge and try the diet for myself. After only 2 weeks on the diet, I also noticed a change. I lost 3 pounds and was beginning to lose some of the stomach fat I had accumulated during pregnancy. I have been on the diet for about 6 weeks now and have gone down one dress size. In a few more weeks, or perhaps a month, I should be back into my beloved skinny jeans.

Leeks


I have made potato and leek soup in the past, and loved it. But I thought the onion-like texture and taste would turn me off if I tried to eat it by itself (and not pureed until it was unrecognizable). I took the plunge and tried it last night. I first boiled them in vegetable stock, and then sauteed them in some butter, salt, and pepper. 
Thinking I might have a gag reflex, I closed my eyes and took a bite......it was great! I am no longer afraid of the mighty leek.
