So, thirty is approaching (end of May) and I told Adam last week that I wanted to try and do the paleo eating thing for the next four weeks. You have to understand, I am notorious for impulsively starting things and...well, sometimes they don't get completed. However, often I can blame it on my children! (Registered and began training for 1/2 marathon, got pregnant with Elliot. One month into P90X, I got pregnant with Collin.) But, sometimes it's just me like when I received a sewing machine our first married Christmas and have yet to sew a thing.
So, for the past three days (yep! We've made it three whole days, winning!), Adam and I have been doing the paleo diet (with a variation...I have to have some dairy since I am nursing). Wheeeee. I have gone through 2 1/2 bags of Clementine oranges in that period of time, sooooooo...yeah. I'm awesome.
Anyways, just putting this on the internet to help me not quit. Processed foods, ick. Carrots are delicious. Riiiiiight?
P.S. Elizabeth, you inspired me to do this.

Friend! We've been doing the Sonntag version of Paleo since November. We do include some dairy (homemade organic yogurt, some milk for E, and some cheese) and have taken breaks when we've visited family so we're not "those" guests. Kevin has been able to get to his healthy weight range for the first time since high school football (and has stayed there for months) while working out less (although he is still super consistent on that). We both have a huge list of ways it's helped us feel better. This pregnancy has been much easier and I do think diet is a huge piece of that. Get the book 'Practical Paleo' - has tons of great and easy recipes and lots of great info. I've got lots of stuff pinned on Pinterest too!
Ha I hear ya with the starting and not always finishing! I was still nursing and attempted the whole30, but unlike you I wasn't smart to still include dairy. You can do it:). And 30 isn't so bad!
We do 2 or 3 paleo meals a week! ;) They are really good and I actually had no idea I liked some veggies so much! ha.. and when Free gets back we're doing a 30 day challenge.. Im with ya though, it'll probably last 5 days because I think Ive started one 10 times now! ha
P TO THE S: I love that you are blogging more now
and finally ... ahhhhhh are you doing the no drinking part of paleo????
