Two months

It's been almost two months now.  I'm down 20 pounds and I definitely feel better.  Need to work on scaling back on the "cheat" days but I really enjoy eating good, clean food.  We recently purchased a whole grass fed hog from a local farmer and in the fall we'll purchase a 1/4-1/2 of beef as well.  It's some of the best meat I've ever eaten and I know exactly where it comes from!!!  Through all this, I've actually started cooking more often which is really saying something!  We've found some staples that we really enjoy and we try new things almost every week.  One BIG thing in going paleo is planning.  One the weeks that we've really planned things out it's been much easier to stay the course.

Week 4

Wow!  I can't believe it's been almost a month since we started eating paleo!  We've "fallen off the wagon" a few times but for the most part we've stayed on track.  The hardest part for me is after dinner.  That's when my craving for sweets has always kicked in!  Now, we have found some yummy snacks but once we ran out (and haven't had time to replenish the supply) I have been in trouble.  We found a recipe for a dark chocolate bacon/hazelnut bark, if you will.  It's pretty simple, dark chocolate chips and bacon fat, with bacon and hazelnuts on the top.  I'm going to have to make more this weekend.  Next week I'm hoping to start yoga with some new DVD's I just bought.  I definitely need to add to my two 20 minute walks everyday.  I think yoga can only be good for me since I'm utterly lacking in flexibility!!!!  Onward and upward!!
