Bending then Breaking

          Unfortunately, even as I extoll the virtues of the paleo diet on this blog, I have to admit that I have slipped a lot lately.  Travel really tends to throw me off, and I have been travelling a fair bit for the interview season.  The fact is, without a kitchen at your disposal, it can be pretty tough to eat high quality foods and avoid the bad stuff... which seems to be everywhere.  For example, did you know that there is wheat, and thus gluten, in soy sauce?  Honestly, I was shocked when I found that out.

          The other problem is that once I bend a little bit on my diet, I tend to throw in the towel and go ahead and break, at least for a few days.  When you have meticulously avoided gluten for a while, even a slight exposure can throw you off a lot.  Once I have already hit that point, I usually decide that I might as well keep going for a few days... and that's when things like McDonalds start to make their appearance.  Not good.  Very not good in fact.  You don't have to tell me.  I know.

Week's Reflections - 12/10/11

          I'm trying to pound out a thoughtful (and hopefully interesting) post every day, but I want to start a Saturday column that's much more light hearted, fun, and easier to write... because weekends are supposed to be fun!

           So on Saturdays, I'm going to make a post about any interesting things I have done/seen/read/whatever over the past week and would recommend to others.  Hopefully as this blog gains some steam and gets some followers, we can turn this into a fun back and forth in the comments section, and you guys can fire back with some things to go do/see/read/whatever.

          Since this is the first, and I have had a hectic week with travel, I am probably going to throw in a few things that didn't come up in the last week.  In the future, I'll keep things more current.
