Exercise:

I took my son swimming again on Saturday morning. Throughout the hour, I was able to squeeze in a few swim sprints (while my sister played lifeguard for my son). I also lifted him on a floating toy and towed him around (good training for your legs when pushing and pulling a weight in the water).

Today, I played a round of activity hide-and-seek with the kiddo. Whenever it was my turn counting I did push-ups, crunches or similar exercises. Over the course of an hour play, there is quite some training to be achieved that way.

Random Babble

Sometime this week, I will also get the Primal Blueprint in the mail. I decided it was time to learn more about the behind-the-scenes stuff going on with the with paleo and primal ways of living. So I thought, reading some of the principal books out at the moment would be a good start.

That way I will also be able to make a more informed decision about whether or not I should include or exclude certain types of foods (dairy? fermented dairy?, how much fruit?, etc.). Understanding the different schools of thought will obviously be a step towards making more informed decisions about which direction to go.

Feel free to let me know which way you turned and why. I always love to read about different reasons behind those types of decisions.
