Day 6: Contemplating what tasty meal I can eat next

I still have that cold I caught yesterday, but I'd say things are going well overall.  I feel full for longer and I'm not a slave to finding snacks every couple of hours.  I also have been eating some pretty amazingly tasty food and I can't complain.  I am roasting a lemon sage chicken right now, and last night I was demolishing some smoked salmon like it was going out of style.  If you can't tell already, I'm a big fan of jalapeno and cilantro, so all I did was mix some chopped smoked salmon with jalapenos, cilantro, and avocado, and seasoned it with garlic, ginger, and salt and pepper.  Yum!

Anyway I hope I can get over this cold in a few days and then start implementing some of the "primal" workouts listed on Mark's Daily Apple.  Basically it all boils down to this:  cavemen didn't need fancy gym machines to get fit.  All they did was walk long distances, sprint for dear life occasionally, and lift heavy things.  You can read about those ideas here.  I'm going to take it a step further and instead of sprinting, I'll do some High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) like the workouts over at www.bodyrock.tv.   All of those workouts are very short and extremely challenging, but I'm looking forward to seeing if there's a difference in my progress.
