The Black Lion Blog is back... again (again)

What up chicks and dudes?
Welcome to the Black Lion Blog. I hope you are ready for another dose of Paleo living. Well, minus the actual hunting and gathering of foods... nor the need to live in caves or create shelters from either wood or stone... nor the need to ferment grapes in animal stomachs for wine... nor the needing to run from predatory animals... also, we need to work jobs to survive... ok, let's just say PALEO EATING

Welcome to the Black Lion Blog. I hope you are ready for another dose of Paleo-style Eating (yeah, I like that better). Lucky for some of us, we already know what it is like to eat with a Paleo mindset. Alls you need to do is scroll over to the other Pages in this blog to remind yourself of the guidelines to the Paleo Challenge. I have said it before - Going Paleo is not torture nor some type of punishment; it is an opportunity! An opportunity to learn more about yourself, your ability to be disciplined, and to learn the role that adequate nutrition plays in your athletic performances as well as your activities of daily living.


You may have also heard me say - " YOU CANNOT OUTPERFORM SH!TTY NUTRITION". Giving your body the best foods that have been proven to provide better performance output is comparable to using high octane gas in a high performance vehicle! 
(yes, you are a car in this simile)


This Paleo Challenge starts Monday, October 3rd. That way, you can get your last day of Foosball, beer, and pizza out of the way. Besides, it is easier to start something like this on a day in which you are already running on some type of schedule. The preliminary rules and guidelines have been established and shared, there will be a slight tweak or two. 

This blog will remain multi-purpose. Everyone that is part of the Challenge can have access to post onto the blog. In this blog, you can enter your thoughts, ramblings, or any other pertinent information. Key word "pertinent". This isn't your FB or twitter account; people (or at least I) couldn't care less that your status is currently "shots, shots, shots" or "mmmm, waiting on my waffles" or "ouch these boots hurt" or any other poignantly idiotic non-issues which make you "ROTFLMFAO". Nope, not me, I could not give a f*ck about any of that. I have a decent sized storage unit in College Park with plenty of room. One half is stocked with seasonal clothing, some furniture, a couple books, and my mountain bike. The other half is stocked with f*cks. Lots of f*cks - varying in shapes, sizes, colors, and viscosities. More f*ucks than one man really needs, enough to outlast Jared's post-apocalyptic Twinkie supply. Still, I find myself unable to give one single f*ck about your inconsequential FB/twitter status update that says nothing more than "it's raining". Really? Really dude" It is raining? Thank you for broadcasting this monumental information; somehow I am unable to look out my bloody window and prospect this information on my own! 


I digress, forgive me my friends. 
What were we talking about?
Ah yes, when you post on the blog, feel free to share something PC related. Tell us what you ate in order to stay Paleo today, share a great new recipe, put together a potluck - do anything that will ensure your and everybody else's success. This is your challenge, make the most out of it and stay on task. Don't lie to yourself and don't cheat yourself. Nobody loves you as much as you do, so do something good for yourself.
