My Fellow Bloggers!


Wow, I am finally able to get online today!  I moved to Oregon last week, and have not been able to get online much to update my blogs!  I am sorry to everyone for the late posts!  Here is the latest update!


The Primal Blueprint Challenge is over!! It went well, and I did lose about 10 lbs so far! I still try to stay on that way of eating as much as possible, it seems to suit me the best.  


The whole reason for this challenge is to learn about the different dietary theories that I am studying in my Health Coaching Education. It was fun just learning about it and then trying it out!  

This is the view from my window
at my New Home in Oregon!
So Beautiful!

I am no longer a California Girl!  I am now a country girl living in Oregon!  It is so cool here!  Lots of clean air, no smog, no traffic, the people are so friendly, and animals are every where; including the bugs!! 


I am excited about my new life and all the new challenges coming my way!  Keep following my blog, as I high light all the new changes coming my way!!


Thank you for your support,


Lisa Powers

Primal Blueprint 21 Day Challenge

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.

Aristotle

Day 14, 15, 16 & 17 Completed!  


Wow, This week was incredibly busy and I fell behind on my posts.  But I have stuck to the Challenge, so no worries folks!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Happy Mother's Day!  I took Sunday off from my workouts to rest for Mom's day.  


I have changed my whole diet and meals to the Primal Blueprint Lifestyle and I am really loving it!  I find I am not eating as much, but still feel satisfied.  


I get up every morning and do my PEM workouts and my morning walk.  If it is not too hot in the evening, I have been doing my evening walk as well.

Working Out at the Lake by my House!

I am changing my lifestyle too!! I have reconnected with a family member that we were on bad terms with for a while.  And Great News! I am moving out of state and will be living on an organic farm in a cabin.  Talk about going Primal!!


I can't believe only have 4 days left to the Challenge.  If you have been following the posts, or trying out the Primal Blueprint Lifestyle, with me, I would love to read your comments.  



Day 18 Challenges


Diet - Kitchen/Pantry Purge #2 - Take a final sweep of your kitchen and get rid of any non-Primal offenders.


Exercise - Moderate Duration Aerobic Workout - exercise 20-60 minutes on the PEM workout.


Lifestyle - Use Your Brain - Today you will take the initial steps to pursue a creative intellectual challenge that provides a refreshing break and balance to the responsibilities of a hectic daily life.  Try something new like a muscial instrument, dancing, home improvement, gardening.  Whatever sounds interesting to you.

Going Primal all the way!

What do I Do?


The challenge is to replace (1) one non-healthy, processed food from your diet with (1) organic or whole food every day for the next 7 days. 

Small daily changes, make big impacts!

Here is how it works:


Step 1: 
Remove (1)  processed food from your diet each day, it can be any food that is not considered a whole food; example potato chips, and replace it with an organic apple.


Step 2: 
Keep that one food in your diet, for the next week. 
Example; eat an apple a day for your snack (hint, it keeps the doctor away)


Each day, replace one processed or junk food for a whole food or organic food.
Example; day 2, remove soda and replace with unsweetened iced tea or water, etc.  


Keep this up for 7 consective days.  At the end of the Challenge, you will have 
replaced 7 unhealthy or processed foods and added 7 healthy and organic foods into your diet and lifestyle.


Step 3: 
Post everyday which foods You removed from your diet, and which foods you 
replaced it with.  Comment on how it feels to make those small changes. Share your experiences and photos!
