Who are we?

Sarah and Simon are a married geek couple trying the paleo diet to feel healthier. They intend to follow it as strictly as possible for the first two weeks or so, then gradually add in a "cheat" meal one or two days a week. They know their limitations and don't expect to be 100% paleo all the time. Bread and cheese are just too good!

Together, they enjoy playing World of Warcraft, Dungeons and Dragons, and many other video and tabletop games. They met on Craig's List in 2007 and have been married since October 2010.

Sarah is a 31-year-old self-employed photographer and housewife. She has been overweight since college and the death of her mother, but is perfectly healthy with spot-on blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels. She is hoping that going paleo might help with her IBS, acne, asthma, and/or fertility issues. Besides photography, Sarah enjoys reading, writing, singing, crafting, and archery. She's also obsessed with Harry Potter and anything by Joss Whedon.

Simon is a 37-year-old IT Director. He has been overweight most of his life and battles hereditary high blood pressure with medication. He is hoping paleo will help him lose weight and have more energy. Simon enjoys a variety of video games (especially Minecraft), cars, LEGOs, music, photography, and making chain mail. He is a big fan of Joss Whedon, the TV shows Fringe and Castle, and the Harry Potter movies.
