It's so hard to keep in a routine when you're traveling. But I was thinking about it....maybe that's the good thing about moving around. It makes you want to be settled someplace, and makes you want to make plans for when you get home. Even diverging from a set way of eating can have benefits if you reign it in. I find that about a month is the max I can go before I really notice weight gain. Of course, visiting Boston for my Dad's birthday and Rosh Hashanah has been challenging from the top. String cheese, beer, fruit, hummus, kugel, as well as Dunkin' Donuts, birthday cake....I didn't eat all of those things, but they're out there and tempting.
I've been rereading Gary Taubes' Why We Get Fat back in LA and Art DeVany's New Evolution Diet, and been watching some videos of them online while here. Pretty interesting...and pretty amazing the mainstream media is so adverse to covering these guys. I've also been checking out Mark Sisson's blog- Mark's Daily Apple http://www.marksdailyapple.com and almost bought his Primal Blueprint for my Dad today...So many Paleo books at Barnes and Nobles now. Pretty amazing.
Here's a video with Mark Sisson:
Not too much to add. Been stretching and have been good overall with the diet. Had an amazing time kayaking with my Dad a few days ago on the Charles. It was really beautiful to get out on water in a different way from surfing. It was very placid and still but with a gentle current, and the scenery was like marshland- almost like the Everglades. Very peaceful- and quite a change from surfing. I find I'm drawn to water these days- so very cool to interact with it in new ways. I'd love to try windsurfing when I get back.
Happy New Year to anyone reading.
Cheers-
Gabe
