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.

It's Official....I've Gone Primal

Like many before me, I was skeptical about the Primal lifestyle. We know a few people who have embraced the Primal/Paleo lifestyle, but it wasn't something we had considered as a lifestyle we could or wanted to adopt. Then, one day, my husband decided to do a little research by purchasing Mark Sisson's Primal Blueprint. By the time he was one-third of the way through the book, he was convinced it was something he wanted to try. I, however, remained skeptical. About a week or so into it, I noticed that his once snug jeans were now loose. This changed things a bit. I decided there was no way I was going to let my husband lose weight while I plateaued. I still have seven to ten pounds of baby weight to lose from having my second child, and I have high hopes that modifying my diet by eliminating all the foods that negatively affect my body will enable me to lose the weight.
