MDA 30 Day Challenge

I'm off on an adventure of sorts.  I'm doing Mark's Daily Apple blog's Primal Blueprint 30-Day Challenge.

I basically eat and live according to Mark's Blueprint, but I do get sloppy from time to time.  A corn tortilla here, come ice cream there, yada, yada, yada.  I fully trust that eating a primal diet and living a primal lifestyle has and will continue to improve my health, so I'm taking this challenge to get myself back to the basics.

As part of today's challenge, Mark is asking people to post their own mini-challenge.  Mine is to go completely gluten/wheat free.  That grain is super sneaky and seems to always find its way on my plate (probably once or twice a month EVERY MONTH).  And, as Nora Gedgaudas says, having a little gluten is like being a little pregnant - it's all or nothing.  I can't say for sure if I've made it 30 days without gluten/wheat, but I'm going to challenge myself to do it this time.  I'll try to post my daily food logs and weekly workout logs as often as possible, as a means of some accountability.
