My asthma disappeared when I started Paleo. Completely gone. When I had some milk about 3 weeks ago I had a major asthma attack complete with inhaler! Go figure huh? It's been gone again ever since.

I just came home from doing a massage. My client goaded me into stepping on the scale in her house. I have lost about 16lbs. in 8 weeks.  So my bodyfat % was a lot higher than I thought it was when I started.

I am gaining strength on all my lifts each week. I'm measuring it based on actual weight moved or perceived exertion on the lifts I'm not overly focused on increasing weight in.

I definitely faster on the bike!

 

So is the missus thinking about trying paleo yet?

Sounds like you're doing great!

"I can't get over how positive your moods and energy are."

This hasn't been discussed much here, but I wonder if there's a real connection.  I feel like I can handle things without stressing over them as much as I used to before I went paleo, and similarly for my wife.  Certainly the general attitude of people on this board seems to me more positive than on any other web board I frequent.

I have noticed exactly the same thing, my life is quite high in stress, but since paleo it is like water of a ducks back.

I'm at 103 days today!  I feel amazing!

I reached my first goal 13 days ago and it went by without me realizing it. 
Goal #1- 90 days 100% (99.99% ) Paleo.

Goal #2- Get super lean
For the next 90 days my focus is going to be focusing on getting super lean which shouldn't be too difficult since it is getting cold out and fruit is about to get real expensive again! Hunting season also begins in 21 days which will get me off my bike and hiking a lot more. It has already started snowing in the mountains which should help push the bears down low and into the berry patches.

you can eat bears?

Bear meat is awesome! Imagine feeding a pig organic veggies and berries only. That is what bear meat is like. Best pork you have ever had!

Wow, your progress report is incredible! You've done great!

I know what you mean about the clothes not fitting.  I've resorted to safety pinning my skirts up lest they fall off my waist mid-stride!  I hate clothes shopping. 

I was a chunky couch potato just over a year ago. Then I cut out grains, sugar, and most processed food.  Now every day I think, "wow, I feel good!" 

And with recently cutting out dairy and the smaller processed items that were left (diet soda, splenda, crystal light), I expect I'll be feeling even more awesome as time goes on.

It's all good, and I'm lovin it!
