Morning Ice Cream Delivery

Hi, guys! Happy Tuesday! It is HOT here… like really hot… like holy heat wave hot . I’m working from my home office right now, but I might need a change of scenery and air conditioning soon! This morning, I was up and at ’em working before my boys woke up – well, besides Murphy, who hops out of bed as soon as I am a wake because: food potential . The dog is always on top of where his next meal is coming from! After I took Murphy for a walk, I headed home and saw that Mal and Quinn were awake. On Tuesdays, we receive a delivery from Hornstra Farms , and Quinn immediately remembered that we ordered ice cream. The kid hightailed it downstairs to bring it up to the freezer! He was pumped! Before Quinn left for school, he made sure to fill up his water bottle, which “has [his] name on it, so no one else drinks it.” Smart. Strep is going around school this week – and my throat hurt today. Oy. Mal is golfing this morning, so he dropped off Quinn at school on his way to the course.

It’s not just that inadequate physical activity is destroying the physical vitality, body weight, and metabolic health of children. It’s also ruining their movement skills and general athleticism.

[2:06] Kidney Stones Krisztian says: I’ve been mostly Paleo for about 5 years now based on one of your piror books.  Overall, it has worked well for me, with one exception.  I started to develop kidney stones on a regular basis.  I finally had them analyzed and they turned out to be calcium oxalate stones.  Upon reading up on this condition, it stems from a high amount of oxalate in the diet.  Unfortunatley, most of the foods I liked on Paleo happen to be super high in oxalate… spinach, nuts, seeds, dark chocolate, sweet potatoes.  The other wammy here is that I was initially avoiding dairy on Paleo which turns out to be worse for stones because one way to counteract high oxalate intake is to match it with high calcium to avoid stone formation.  I’ve since g
