Quig's Primal Journey

Found a new meat for breakfast instead of bacon.

Aidell's Andoiulle.
These are the habanero green chile ones). With the amount of sugars per serving and the sugar being so far down in the ingredient list, I'm really not worried about it. Sodium's a bit high but since I don't eat that much mass-produced packaged food, again ... not too worried. And they're tasty too.

Package says: Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Made with All Natural Chicken, No MSG, Soy Free

I add salt to almost everything I eat.
Is Salt Healthy? | Mark's Daily Apple

 

Your body's NERVUS SYSTEM RUNS ON SALTS..... both Sodium and Potassium type salts, so if you aren't getting enough of either, you will be
Cramping, in your Muscles, and is what happens when you get DeHydrated. You sweet out Salts, as well water. the Basic ingredient in Blood, is Salt Water.

 

Look you guys, I eat SALT!
I just mentioned the meat had high sodium . thats it thats all I saw out of the norm with it in the ingredients .
WTH is a Nervus?

 

It's a postism --

 

Been a while since posting here, I have been adding a lot of muscle lately I can see it in the mirror My trapezius , Bicep's and triceps muscles are growing fast.
I am also seeing my pect's gaining size. And My abs are starting to show again in the top area, still have 30 more lbs to get into my ideal weight for my bones structure.
Weight coming off has slowed quite a bit with all of my muscle gains. It seems like it wont drop fat until there is a certain amount of muscle gain first, or at least that's how it seems.
I'm at almost 58 lbs off now.

 

Dropped 3lbs this last week. Still eating and exercising the same. Only difference is I'm upping my reps to 20 for my upper body work out. My planks I've increased to 100 seconds. And my waking is walk a mile and jog a mile.
60 lbs lost.

 

Still hard at it, hitting 60lbs lost is a spot my body has decided to put the brakes on or roll back the throttle on in losing weight. I went back and looked at my monthly loss totals and its slowing down from 21lbs the first month then I bounce at 9-6lbs each month then the last couple i have been seeing 2-3lbs down. I am gaining muscle and my waist is still shrinking. My strength has increased dramatically.
some notes:
I started my wind career 8 year ago climbing 80 meter towers at 15-20 mins when i ran 6 miles a day. then as I quit running and traveling I put on weight that slowed my climb times over the last 7 years to 30mins .
Last couple of weeks I climbed one at 14mins, then 12min and I set my new all time record of 10mins, that's hauling ass in the turbine world especially for a Manager who doesn't work in them daily anymore. And I'm not dead at the top, 5 min rest and I'm good to go again so my stamina is at a high level again.
I have stayed true to my plan as of now. and Planned to keep on keeping on.
I feel amazing Instead of feeling like almost 50 I feel like i did in my late 20's early 30's.
I am now in better shape then most all of my friends with the exception of a couple, and that's hard cause the rest don't have the energy to go with me all day in the woods so I'm working on all of them to get them into PB and feel as good as i do.
My wife is making great improvements and can now walk 2miles without having her MS leg go nuts on her, Im so happy for her. She has to work 4 times as much as i do and i wish it was me instead of her, but it is what it is.
We are hammering on with this.

Quig, I know there are several monkeys on this now but it was this thread and your story that inspired me. I think we are close in age and physical build. You can add me to the list of Primal Monkeys. I started 3 weeks ago and am amazed at the changes in just that short amount of time. I am wearing shirts that were too tight on me a month ago and am on the last notch in my belt. I have lost 7 lbs in 3 weeks and can tell the boost in energy. If it is this much improvement in 3 weeks I can't wait to see where I am in 3 months. Thanks for sharing your story!!

 

Congratulations MM you wont be sorry! this works. Not only am I getting back to where i need to be weight wise, Im also getting energy and strength like crazy.I still cant believe it now, It just gets better and better.
