It’s Monday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story from a Mark’s Daily Apple reader. If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark’s Daily Apple community please contact me here . I’ll continue to publish these each Monday as long as they keep coming in. Thank you for reading! When did I first see it? It was in November 2017. I stepped on my scale and proceeded to log my information into my fitness tracker and there it was staring back at me. The tracker already knows my age and height and it spit out a calculation that never really caught my attention before. Under the heading for BMI (Body Mass Index) the word Overweight was highlighted with a color meant to get my attention. It did. I’ve never had what you would call a weight problem. In fact at first glance most people would call me tall (at 6’2″) and skinny. But with a BMI at 25.8% I now was in the “overweight” bucket. I realize that a BMI calculation that is d...

Hi, guys! Happy Monday! I hope you had a lovely weekend. Ours was jam-packed on Saturday , but fairly low-key on Sunday , which was much-needed. I’ve been battling a nasty head cold (and I honestly didn’t think a single human could sneeze so much in 24 hours), so I’m glad that we just hung around the house yesterday – for the most part.

Anyway, I wanted to share a quick recap from our weekend, so here we go! We were up and at ’em on Saturday morning. Quinn really loves waking up before the sunrise! Ha! Once Mal was awake and we were ready for the day, we headed to the YMCA for a workout and playtime for Quinn in the kids’ room. After that, we went straight to soccer and then CAVA for lunch. The Hauperts are seriously lovvvvving CAVA lately! And Quinn at a few bites of falafel! We told him in was a “hummus ball” since he loves hummus so much, and...

We had a sport heavy weekend, and need all the bread to fuel up!! I paid a visit to Great Harvest Cville to stock up on some favorites. It had been a while since I had been to the store! We stocked up on The Best Pancake Mix, Cinnamon Chip and Apple Dapple (used to be Apple Scrapple!)(also we froze half of the sweet breads), Cville Crunch, Savannah Bar, honey butter, and two maple syrups from Old State Farms – bourbon barrel and cinnamon vanilla. OMG – they are so good! Friday’s breakfast was apple bread with honey butter, egg with sharp cheddar, and clementine. On Friday night Thomas and the boys had a bro night while I went to ACAC for an evening workout + social. We ordered Belmont Pizza, and I had a slice for half a dinner before I left. The Rialo is the BEST with sausage, apple, and balsamic drizzle. The workout was awesome. Matt (yes  that Matt), who now teaches at ACAC, and his girlfriend, Katie, who is a trainer and group ex pro, led a Couples Class for the group. ...
