Reflections
What an awesome week! I finally broke my "plateau" that I've been stuck on for what seemed like a month. Six pounds loss in one week after so many weeks of floating around the same weight is awesome. My clothes are starting to fit a little looser. This was a great week for Primal eating. I don't recall binging one time, although I might have snuck a bite of something bad here or there. My urges to eat unhealthy foods are really starting to subside, which helps things out a great deal.
I think I'm finally where I want to be for gym exercises. I'm getting in there three times a week to "lift heavy things."

Goals for Next Week
I want to start cooking at least two to three new recipes a week from the Primal Blueprint cookbook I just bought. The recipes are healthy and look pretty tasty too.
For my Primal diet, I want to focus on moving away from a lot of my dairy crutches, and some of my seasoning crutches. I still use sugar (or Splenda) and salt a little more than I should be. I also want to throw in more vegetables into my diet than what I'm doing right now. I think a lot of this is going to include finding new ways to consume the vegetables I have.
This is going to be the big focus of the week. I want to work on "moving frequently at a slow pace," especially on the days that I'm not at the gym. It would be optimal for me to get in 30 minutes to an hour of walking, hiking, low-intensity cardio, light dancing a day. The goal total is 2+ hours a week. I think I can outdo this.
