Slim Palate Nerd Fitness: Helping You Lose Weight, Get Stronger, Live Better. I received an email a few months back from a NF reader that made me smile: “I am going back to square one. I noticed the only habit that I changed and stuck with was drinking tons of water. Have you ever started playing a game and get a few hours in and go “man I wish I knew these controls/tips from the beginning”? I’m restarting my journey now that I have a better idea of the controls.” This resonated with me, because when I first played EverQuest (similar to World of Warcraft), the first character I created was terrible. When I started again playing as a new character, I FLEW through the first 30 levels: I understood the controls, how the game worked, and what needed to get done; it was much easier the second time through! The same is true for any boss battle you first encounter in any game. Getting in shape is no different. Each time you start over, you’re getting closer to that point of making things stick.

Practical Paleo So today, I went grocery shopping immediately after church and left my husband at home to make lunch for himself and the kids. (Let me tell you, it is worth it to get up early Saturday to shop... it was crazy out on Sunday afternoon!) Anyways. My husband is a pretty decent cook, he just doesn't do it that much anymore, so I had to write down directions for him. Since I've been wanting to share this recipe with you, here is is! The only bummer is I scarfed down my share when I got home, so I didn't take any nice pictures for you. The other great thing about this meal (besides the fact that it is yummy and my whole family loves it and you can have it for any meal) is that it is probably the cheapest paleo breakfast, lunch, or dinner you will ever have. Part 1 3 lbs. sweet potatoes ($1.49 at Aldi) 2 t. garlic powder or minced garlic 1 t. dried onion or onion powder 1 t. chili powder 1 t. salt 1 t. pepper 4 T. butter or coconut oil Scrub potatoes. Brown everything together in a skillet. Enjoy!
blog – The Foodee Project Thursday: Flipnotics & Bar Chi Matt’s dad is coming in this weekend and so we wanted to get an earlier start on our last full workday. We headed over to Flipnotics, a 2nd story coffee shop just south of Lake Austin, to put some ideas down on paper. It was sprinkling as we left, but as we settled in on the deck with our mugs, we had front row seats to a full-on downpour. We took down our first cup just watching the rain, and then settled in to work. Personally, I thought the setting was very Swiss Family Robinson, which was fun, but that the coffee was a little too bitter for my taste. After leftover ”okra gruel” we watched game 5 the SF Giants vs. Matt, Scott and I went out for a celebratory dinner at Barchi downtown. Friday: Austin City Limits Festival Today was the kickoff for Austin City Limits and we were excited to be a part of our first music festival. We scanned in with our wristbands and were welcomed in to a sea of 8 stages and roughly 70,000 people. But it didn’t.
Adductor Stretch for Inner Thigh Muscles The inner and outer thigh muscles are often forgot about when performing stretches, however these muscles are often the cause of a lot of injury problems. Sports such as football and those require lateral (side) movements can often cause the adductor (inner thigh muscles) to be overstretched. Performing the simple toe grab inner thigh stretch will help to relieve the tension build up within the muscle region. The biggest muscle in the body (Gluteus maximus) i.e. the muscle in the buttock, performs a number of function, and as such is often overworked and tense. Tension in the glut muscles, can cause a very common complaint such as sciatica, as the muscle tension places pressure on the sciatic nerve. To avoid both of these problems, make sure you include the following stretches into your cool down routine. Learn how to stretch the abdominal and oblique muscles on the next page.
