This update is through day 6… 1/5 of the way home. This post contains food pics and exercises done as part of the 30 Day Challenge that Hank Garner (mylowcarbjourney.com) organized.
Already it’s obvious… I erred. I made two of my goals too DIFFICULT! … and two too easy.
Weighted Sumo Squats … is literally a pain in my BUTT! Sit ups have never been my favorite exercise either… guess what??
That’s why it’s called …. A CHALLENGE!!!! :)

Primal Food Pics
I made Bacon Cups two days in a row before perfecting and posting the recipe. For dinner one night I skipped the bacon cups and just ate the beef, guacamole, salsa and sour cream… NOT BAD! In fact, …. this combo is so good, you don’t need no stinking bacon!!
I know, I know … it’s blasphemous to say such things. :))
The next picture is a picture of the actual bacon cups… pretty awesome, if I do say so myself….and I do. :)
The flavors and textures work very well together and … it’s low carb.
This last food picture is simply braised ground beef patties with onion and mushrooms tossed in for fun. :)
There are SOO many food combinations you can eat … even on a low carb primal meal plan.

Primal Exercise
As noted above, I’ve made two of my exercise goals… tough. Doing 5,000 Sumo Squats using a 45 lb Kettle Bell and 5,000 Sit Ups will be difficult.
It truly will be a challenge to complete them and I’m not just saying that for dramatic affect. :)
Two exercises will be relatively easy. I should not have difficulty in 5,000 Jumping Jack nor in doing 1,000 Push Ups. This leaves only the 5,000 Kettle Bells …and I set that goal just about right. My plan right now is to do some of each daily but focusing on doing more of two exercises each day.
Once I reach my monthly goals with Jumping Jacks and Push Ups… I’ll be able to concentrate fully on achieving the remaining three goals.
Monthly Totals Through Day 6
* As you can see, I am behind on Squats and Sit Ups … I hate to be behind plan/goal. Grrrrr…. :)
If you are not exercising… I urge you all to start today. It literally only takes 15 minutes a day to start. Find your comfort zone with these core exercises and do a little more each time… I did.
