My Thoughts Paleo

I have been trying out this new paleo lifestyle for the past 3 weeks. I am in my last week of the 21 Day Challenge and I have lost 5lbs so far. How do I feel you ask? FANTASTIC!! I have found out that everyone has their own way of finding what works for them. I never thought this would work for me. I never thought I could give up milk, my sweets, cheese ect. but I have realized that I want to be healthier more than I want to have a moment of satisfaction of that junk food. Am I never going to eat it again? Are you kidding me? I feel that if I am on track at least 85 to 90% of the time then the other 10% to 15% will be more forgiving. What I love about this challenge I have done is everything is layed out for me. The shopping list for the week, the meals and the recipes! For me the is huge and I know for many of you that are just as busy it would also be in line with your life should you give this a shot too. But, again, it is entirely up to you on what will work for you. My biggest battle has been nutrition. I can work out like a champ, but eating has always been tough for me. I LOVE food!! Who doesn't right. It's crazy to think people out there have an addiction to food, but at the same time I get it. However, my health is very important to me. I don't want to spend more money being sick when I get older. I want to spend it now on good food. Are you with me? :) That is the short of it. I value your time and as you sit and read this I want you to take away the fact that your the most important person on earth. You are not only valuable to yourself, you are valuable to others and they care about you as much as you should care about yourself! So what will your challenge be?
