Are the pushups getting easier?
I'm starting to see some lean muscle gain. My wife is fond of that fact.

week 2 day 1, right on track
Matt
Excellent!
I have, for the first time on these challenges, completely failed. Minor injury and completely chaotic life killed my regular workouts for a few weeks. I totally dropped the ball.
But I'm back at it for next month's challenge!
Thursday:
TG warm-up
100 push-ups
200 sit-ups
200 squats
lite cardio
I do aircraft maintenance....it's a small industry, I know what's up there and the conditions they work in....it's not for me! If AirNorth ever built a new hangar, that might intice me to come tho!
Matt
I'm in southern small town ontario-Shelburne. I was there in Whitehorse once just for work...literally just for a day. If there was decent work for me up there I'd easily make the move!
Matt
100 squats a day it is!
SD, what's September gonna be?
I'm there with you in spirit!!! Love it
Matt
It usually takes c. 8 to 12 months to get used to all the various kinds of raw meats, on a psychological level. Raw organ-meats usually take longer, with raw wild game taking even longer. this is only because they are far richr in taste, and newbies are, at first, only used to denatured, rather tasteless cooked foods.
My solution re raw liver was to cut it up into tiny slivers, and then pop each sliver into my mouth, one at a time, quickly followed by a huge gulp of alkaline mineral-water afterwards. That got rid of the gag reflex. After a few weeks, I got used to and started to enjoy the taste of raw liver.
My advice:- buy tiny bits of 100s of different raw animal foods. At first, you will find that 90 percent are appalling in taste, but that 10 percent are enjoyable or just OK. After some weeks, you will find that more and more of the raw meats you previously disliked will start tasting great, until eventually you will find most raw meat types to be enjoyable, taste-wise.
SURE!!!!
Well I've gotten to week 5, right on track, but then I did some in front of a mirror and I'm not really going "down" all that much. Probably about 1/2 way. So I've restarted, touching my nose to the ground. I can do 15 of these as of today, as opposed to the 50 half pushups I was doing before. I'm amazed how much strength it takes to do a full/proper pushup

Breeds can also be important. I've tasted grainfed wild boar, for example, which tasted way better than standard grainfed pork. Of course, genuine raw wild boar, NOT fed on grains but on wild plants/carrion etc., tastes even better.
I avoid free-range and organic chicken, however raw it may be. Chickens are almost universally fed on grain-heavy diets which means their meats taste foul and are most unhealthy. By comparison, the raw wild mallard duck I've eaten tastes fantastic.
Welcome aboard! How are the children adjusting to eating paleo? Was it an easy transition for them?
I'm amused. Most people go for a raw, palaeolithic diet only after all other diets have failed, mostly or wholly, to cure their various health-problems. The irrational fear of bacteria/parasites is so strong among newbies that it takes people usually some weeks/months before they reluctantly realise that they are not dead yet and are in no danger from such a diet.
But yes, not cooking does save a lot of time and money, as well.
I've eaten raw paleo since last April, when I moved into a new apartment that didn't have a stove. That wasn't my main reason for going raw, but I think it helped my resolve to be 100% raw. Sometimes I even think is was a "sign" that raw was right for me.
I've read a handful of books about cooked and raw paleo, but none of the book information comes close to the wealth of information I've gotten in this forum. I jumped right in to eating raw meat. Every time I read a post about eating a certain type of raw flesh, I went out and tried it.
Raw paleo has been a healthy and healing choice for me.
May I ask what reason you are going rawpalaeo, as opposed to sticking to the cooked-palaeodiet?
