Odango Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 I had read your challenge before but I hadn't written anything. It sounds like you have a lot to think about concerning your past/current health issues, but I'm sure you'll do great. It's inspiring to see someone take charge though, you know? I'm also super interested in Paleo, I'm a biological anthropology student so I study this kind of stuff anyways, I've just never tried it out.Post food pics!!!! Thanks for your support there was a point where it seemed health issues would never stop piling up, even though they're all minor chronic issues I really felt hopeless at some point. Having my thyroid disease diagnosed and treated helped so much, I just have to be careful and keep in mind my health is fragile - for now For tonight, I am planning a sweet potato & chicken curry to celebrate Autumn. I'll try to remember to take a pic 1 Dancing Sylph - Level 9 Monk/Druid Former Captain of the Nerdians of the Fitalaxy Current Challenge "E quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle" - We came forth, and once more saw the stars, Dante Link to comment

Odango Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Week 2 update!I did my Tibetan yoga both yesterday and today afternoon, I can feel more immediate relief in the morning so I'll get back to that as of tomorrow. Today, I used the yoga as warm up + 1 minute of jumping jacks and DID MY BODY WEIGHT WORKOUT ! Yesss!Those push ups are still kicking my ass, but I must have become crazy because I like it Now that I have stretched everything (yes, everything!) and replenished my hydration levels, I am going grocery shopping briefly for tonight's Autumn celebration. See you space cowboys! 2 Dancing Sylph - Level 9 Monk/Druid Former Captain of the Nerdians of the Fitalaxy Current Challenge "E quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle" - We came forth, and once more saw the stars, Dante Link to comment

She-Hulk Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 YOU ARE DOING AWESOME. If I had fancy chocolate sprinkles to spread on toast (even GF toast, man) I'd have such a hard time holding back. I'd try to reason with myself for why I could eat them, when overall... should probably skip it. xD That curry does sound amazing... two words for you and how you're doing? 1 Current Challenge: She-Hulk Strengthens the Stronghold.

How many tibetan yoga sequences are you up to? Thank you!! I'm still doing 7 repetitions, I'm thinking of increasing next week if it gets really easy by the end of the week I did the yoga upon rising this morning and it was great! So much better than in the afternoon!

Odango Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Mini mid-week report! So far, everything is going well and I have a surprise for you all, I did it my paleo day today!! I had a ton of left overs from the previous days, so there was a lot of paleo tupperware to finish (we often eat paleo without really thinking about it, we just really like veggies ). I did drink a cup of almond milk with honey, and realised later that almond milk is probably not 100% paleo so I don't know if it fails my paleo day or not... for now I consider it a pass! I used this recipe yesterday: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/313610/sweet-potato-and-chicken-curryI replaced the curry sauce with simple curry spices and added cumin (hate those prepared sauces, always too fat).It wasn't that great a recipe, so here are my tips if you want to try it: today I added quite a bit of extra oil (there's no such thing as too much olive oil) and water and cooked it for another 15-20 minute while systematically cutting the sweet potato pieces into really tiny pieces (which resulted in smashing half of them completely). I added salt again and two handfuls of baby spinach 1 minute before serving. It was delicioussss! (didn't taste like dessert & main course together at all Calla )Not sure how to post a picture so you'll just have to imagine a warming gooey version of the picture from the recipe Hope you're all doing great! It's time for the otter dance! 1 Dancing Sylph - Level 9 Monk/Druid Former Captain of the Nerdians of the Fitalaxy Current Challenge "E quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle" - We came forth, and once more saw the stars, Dante Link to comment

Mera Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Hmm, the curry sounds delicious. I've been using this recipe (mostly for the spice mix).

Pherales Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 My favorite thing with almond milk is when I have almond flour as well, and I make paleo pancakes so tasty Do the thing Link to comment
PachaTisai Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 My favorite thing with almond milk is when I have almond flour as well, and I make paleo pancakes so tastyI've never tried this. Is there a recipe out there? 1 Relax, don't worry, have a homebrew! Link to comment
Pherales Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 There are a few Generally I use this one which I basically have memorized, and just adjust what the recipe calls for with what I have available. It's a pain in the ass to get coconut and tapioca flour here, but almond flour is pretty plentiful and there isn't MUCH of a taste difference at all. 2 Do the thing Link to comment

Always jealous of that hair.yey! Another moonie! I can't wait to see how they do the Outer Scouts in the new series. Yelling "Moon prism power, make up" once or twice a month is therapeutical xDYes! I'm not the only one! hehe Also, paleomg is a god of a website for recipes. Especially for paleo baked goods. Omnomnom.So does the Civilized Caveman. He has some of the best food recipes and I love his attitude and what he's overcome. 1 Major Respawn in Progress Current Previous Challenges: 1 2 3 4 4.1 5 6 "Each of you is perfect the way you are ... and you can use a little improvement." - Shunryu Suzuki Link to comment
Lycansbane Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I know i'm a little late to the party but read your quest and saw the druid tag. I too enjoy yoga, though i've never practiced much. The idea of it intrigues me very much. I have been in need of more people to follow and assist in their challenges and as i said, i loved your quest. 1 Lycansbane (NF CHaracter) 1st | 1st redo | 2nd | 3rd "Pain is for the living.
