Check out the two videos I took on my run this evening to learn how to do hill repeats and to see my reaction to doing them for the first time.

I’m always delighted to find “normal” recipes that happen to be Paleo, including this chicken tagine recipe from Tagine by Ghillie Basan. You can find preserved lemons at Sur La Table, Middle Eastern markets, and some specialty markets or you can make your own.

If you’re doing strength training three to four times a week—and if you’re challenging yourself during those sessions—you’re going to feel sore somewhere in your body almost every day. The best thing you can do for sore muscles is stretch.

This is the one recipe from Paleo Everday Around the World: Italian Cuisine that I absolutely fell in love with! It’s super easy to make, but each bite packs a ton of flavor.

I had high hopes for Sarah Fragoso’s new book, Paleo Everyday Around the World: Italian Cuisine. I’ve heard a lot of good things about her recipes, and she has quite a reputation in the Paleo community. And in some ways, the book did meet and even exceed my expectations.

When I got married in 2007, I didn’t go on a crash diet or start a rigorous exercise regimen. I thought I looked good enough the way I was, and, like any bride, I had plenty of other details to worry about.

A little spicy, a little sweet, this meat-only chili is 100 percent paleo and perfect for those weekdays where you want an easy meal you can throw in the slow cooker and forget about until the evening.

This recipe is insane! From the first bite, I declared it the best “potato” salad I had ever tasted, and it’s no wonder—this baby’s loaded with bacon and lightly dressed with homemade olive oil mayonnaise.

The great thing about exercise is that once you get started, it gets easier. I’ve found that to be very true in the last few months of personal training.

I’m learning—mainly by not taking care of myself—that what I do after a workout is as important as what I do during my workout. If I follow the post-workout routine below, I find that I recover much faster and have more energy the following day.

I’m going to be honest here—one of the things you’ll miss most on a paleo diet is dessert. This reality was highlighted for me (Christine) recently at the Del Mar Fair, when I desperately wanted to buy some fudge from that little stand in the back of the floral showroom.

Sometimes it’s a challenge just making it to personal training—I’ve made no secret of that. I’m not a morning person, and I usually feel like a slug for an hour or two after waking up. It is, therefore, something akin to a miracle that after four months I’m still in personal training three days a week!

I’ve progressed slower than I expected, and I attribute that primarily to my eating choices over the past month.
