Day 11

Nice work! The creative side of your brain should now be thinking of new ideas and recipes to take you further on this journey. You’re probably building a really good idea of what you like and dislike when it comes to eating primally.

“Don’t wait until you’ve reached your goal to be proud of yourself, be proud of every step you take toward reaching that goal”

Diet – Create a Primal Recipe

Concoct your own entrée of Primal fare, writing down all the ingredients and measuring portions for future reference. If the first go-round is not quite right, revise the recipe and repeat the exercise tomorrow.

Exercise – Moderate Duration Aerobic Workout

Go 20-60 minutes at your aerobic heart rate zone of 180 minus your age.

Lifestyle – Work Peak Performance

Start your workday by carefully creating a to-do list with tasks ranked in order of priority. Methodically proceed through each task with undivided attention. If a phone call brings an urgent request from your boss requiring an hour of work, revise your to-do list accordingly and stick to the renegotiated plan.

During this exercise, you may notice how easily you are pulled away from your priorities by unrelenting stimulation. Resolve to honour your to-do list for the duration of the day. While it does take a bit of extra diligence and preparation time to be proactive instead of reactive at work, building these skills can dramatically reduce stress and increase productivity.
