A leisurely walk around Baldwin Lake and the Flat River Trail. I saw a lot of beautiful flowers and wildlife, including my favorite the Black-Capped Chickadee! There were large swathes of new Lilly of the Valley and early mint springing up around the lakes. So beautiful!

Plus:
- Tested out some basic yoga
- And pushed myself with planks.
(And, no, I didn’t keep track. I just do it until I can’t anymore.)

_________________________________________
Goals:
Body fat percentage: 17-19%
(I don’t base my goals on weight because I want muscle mass to increase and replace fat. Weight loss measurement does not differentiate between loss of fat or muscle.)
(I plan on losing TBI. I don’t know what a healthy goal for this would be. Muscle takes up less volume in the body than fat. That’s why your weight can remain stagnant while your body composition changes and your dress size drops. Measure TBI and Body fat percentage, not just weight!)

Paleo Diet Flowchart
A friend that’s new to healthy living said this Paleo Flow Chart was more helpful than any other resources/advice he received. That being said, we had to share it.
I recommend getting the book to understand the WHY, but this is great for the WHAT.
I don’t eat exclusively pale, but I get pretty darn close. I like the humor and ease-of-use of this flow chart.
