Echo Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Hiyas guys! My name is Echo (obviously) and I've been reading the Nerd Fitness articles for about two years now. Compared to some of the rebels here, I'm younger than most, but I'm taking the Rules of the Rebellion to heart. My main goals: Make the full transition to Primal Eating by the beginning of the new school year (August 27), begin training 3 days a week every week for parkour including conditioning.. These are it, for now. I've actually already attempted going Paleo last summer, but basically starved because of lack of food at home. >_< This time, I'm trying to make the change a lot slower, by replacing small foods one by one. Rice and spaghetti are the banes of my existence... So delicious~ But that's not the point. I hope I'll have and can give lots of support to all of the rebels here, and I'll try to stay accountable and motivated. ---Echo I heard that when things were painful for her, she’d cover her ears with headphones and escape to the world of music. I tried it too. It was like everything was blown away. The vocals screamed for me. They grieved for me. The ones who put on the act of common sense were wrong. Those who cried were right. We, the lonely were more human. They screamed at the absurd, beat it down, and destroyed it. They saved me.Iwasawa Masami (Angel Beats!)

Ghost Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 What a cool name, I have a friend called Echo, maybe I could make another? Welcome and if you ever need anything, let us know! Link to comment
Echo Posted June 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Thanks guys~ I think my phase two for the eating primally will be to cook for myself more often, and find cheap recipes. Since I don't have a job yet, a lot of this is relying on my parents and their money, which can be hard. I decided to wait specifically until summer started since I didn't have anything to brown-bag to school, either. My goals for parkour are to be able to do 5-6 pullups in one set without rest (I can barely do chin-ups, no pull-ups though). I wish to improve my endurance as well, I really can't run for a long period of time. What are the challenges, also?

Laocoon Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Hi Echo!Well, Paleo is certainly not cheap, to say the least. If you go fully organic-paleo it can get pretty expensive. But there are ways to keep your costs down, I guess. The only thing I know is that I managed to go full paleo in 48 hours because of a very ambitious goal; I'm still trying to perfect my paleo shopping- and cooking skills. Still, it should be possible to do it quite quickly! If you're afraid of falling of the wagon however it is maybe better to do it step by step like Steve advises in his blog posts. Good luck with your 'mission'! - You only live once... so kick ass while you can Link to comment
Ghost Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Wow, you sound like you are in the same boat as me. Student, building endurance, learning to cook paleo. Link to comment
