Recapping My First 10 Days As a ‘Real Food Flexitarian’

January 4, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Since December 25th, 10 days ago, I have not eaten a single piece of meat of any kind. During that same time frame, I also have had almost nothing to eat or drink that was processed in any significant way. (And yes, this includes chewing gum, a former staple of mine; have you ever looked at the ingredient list?)

And I can honestly say that I have never – never – felt better.

In this post, I will recap my first 10 days as a real food something-atarian (we’ll get to the name in a bit), including what spurred the change, how I’ve gone about implementing into my life, and the specific ways that I’ve been impacted positively by doing so.

Introducing ‘The Discipline Project’

December 18, 2011 By 3 Comments

There is a certain irony in the fact that I haven’t written a post here since this one about the death of the procrastinator inside of me. I could very easily spin my lack of new Primility posts on being so wrapped up in not procrastinating important tasks that I just haven’t gotten far enough down on my to-do list to write here; but that would be mostly disingenuous, so I won’t.

The fact is that I’ve struggled ever since I launched this blog to really understand what I want to do with it. There have been a few posts here and there, and I know what the overriding theme of the blog is — what primility means — but I just haven’t been able to coalesce all of my many thoughts on the subject and ideas for blog post series into anything coherent and consistent.

Until now.
