Obviously with no recent posts, I've been very busy.  Good thing I'm not getting paid to blog. (pfft)  I made a trip the San Francisco area last week and the weather was beautiful!  I think I have 20 cents left on my BART card which gives me an excuse to go back!

I stayed primal on the food most of the time but it is hard to pass up the culinary experience.  That reminds me... I might occasionally cheat but I still allow for the 80/20 rule.  So for this challenge, I haven't really failed unless I've gone below 80% compliance.  Sushi was really hard to pass up in Walnut Creek but I really got in touch with my-inner caveman after eating ox tongue.

I managed to eat at no chains during my trip with the exception of airport snacks and drinks.  Another primal highlight was the seafood kabob I enjoyed at Taheri's Mediterranean which included a buttery assortment of salmon, prawn, and halibut with a side of grilled asparagus and carrots.  The locals must have though we (Kansas Citians) were crazy for wanting to try Kinder's but I wouldn't necessarily call it a BBQ joint so much as a deli.  The sirloin salad made it's way to my plate with a fresh side of fruit salad which was very impressive.  See below for some of the fresh meaty items available there.

And my biggest primal weakness... beer!  I had to try the local Lagunitas IPA which was superb.  See official glass below.

Okay, last update for this post... I weighted in the morning and I am at 223.4.  That means I only need to drop 1.4 more pounds to meet my team commitment of 20% loss!  That milestone will be great but I have plenty of chiseling to do.  My personal goal is 200 pounds, or about 27% weight loss.
