Hello, Striders!
Today is day 7 of the Primal Stride Week 2 Challenge. You’ve been crunching on fruits and vegetables and your abs all week.
Are you glad you did it? Have you learned anything about yourself in the past week? Will you keep eating vegetables and doing crunches now that the weeks is over?
My update: Green [...]

The Double Crunch Challenge | Day 6
Hello Striders!
How often do you take naps?
I grew up taking naps each afternoon but “grew out of them” by the time I was 8. I have since reimplemented them as part of a (I hate the word “diet” … what to call it?) concerted weight-loss effort. Resting for 30 minutes, even if I can’t fall [...]
The Double Crunch Challenge | Day 5
Good Morning, Striders!
Where do you get your power from?
Are you able to survive, to thrive, and to flourish through the strength of your friendships with others? Do you have a deep religious fervor that keeps you going? Perhaps you just know, deep within yourself, that you are able to do whatever you wish?
I’d like [...]
The Double Crunch Challenge | Day 4
Good Morning, Striders!
I’m sure I’m not the only one with a busy Monday so I’ll keep this short. I’ll give a quick update on my progress and ask you a question that you can answer with your update.
My Update:
Crunches – 250 each day didn’t seem like a lot at first because I split them [...]
The Double Crunch Challenge | Day 3
Good morning, Striders!
I tossed a leaf of kale into my green smoothie this morning (I have it growing on my patio) to mix things up from the collards yesterday. (I’m doing something separate with green smoothies I’ll tell you about soon. In the meantime, eat your veggies!)
50 more crunches to go and I’m done for [...]
The Double Crunch Challenge | Day 2
Good morning, Striders!
It’s a beautifully crisp January day here in Mississippi. By crisp, I mean 19F under a bright sun that belies the windy barbs swaying trees outside my window. My stomach feels tight from yesterday’s crunches but there’s no pain. Just a sensation that serves to remind me that I am indeed making progress. [...]
The Double Crunch Challenge | Day 1
Day 1 of the Double Crunch Primal Stride Challenge has me sitting straight up in my chair with spinach in my stomach. I’ve developed a nice little routine: Every time I get up for a glass of water or tea I do 50 crunches. It’s 10am, I’ve been up for 5.5hrs, and I’ve met my [...]

The Finish Line
How’d your 7-day challenge experience turn out? What surprised you, energized you, or gave you reason to stop and think? If you could go back and re-do the challenge, what would you do differently? Has the [...]
Primal Stride Challenge | Five At Five | Day Six
Good Morning, Striders!
How do you deal with failure?
I’ve experienced two general types of failure:
Shock Failure – This is the failure that you never saw coming. Your boss comes back from vacation and pulls the plug on an important project. You wake up and realize you ate everything in your fridge during a lucid dream. [...]
Primal Stride Challenge | Five At Five | Day Five
Good Morning, Striders!
How do you typically respond to a stressful situation?
Do you scream? Are you the silent type?
I was once proud of my ability to “keep my cool” no matter what. I could internalize any stress thrown at me and honestly thought I’d be okay.
I wasn’t okay.
I ended up wound so tight that every time [...]
Primal Stride Challenge | Five At Five | Day Four
Good morning, Striders!

Whew! So we’ve made it to day 4 already! How do you feel? Are you beginning [...]
Primal Stride Challenge | Five At Five | Day Three
Good Morning Striders!
Seeing this photo by LoneWolf of what his morning exercise looks like makes me feel like a bit of a baby for complaining about the cold here! (click on the image to view the rest of the Flickr challenge pool)
Proper rest and exercise are very important to a healthy lifestyle.
I read that sentence [...]
