Girl's Weekend and Mighty Mud Dash

So I had a great weekend with some girls I went to high school with! We decided to do the Mighty Mud Dash together and it was a blast! I will post pictures of that later!

So how did the food choices go you ask? Well, for the most part I feel like I did okay. I did cheat and have some kolaches and a breakfast taco. Not too bad for my first weekend on Paleo. It's back on the wagon for me though. I know that as I am going through this journey it will be challenging at times. I just have to work through it and not give myself a tough time. I have to enjoy life too!

So after a week I did loose an inch in my waist and thighs and a half inch in my hips. Not too bad for the first week! Yay!

Not Giving In

So yesterday I was had a free lunch opportunity and thought I would test my will power. Deli sandwiches, chips and fresh baked cookies. Oh how I love fresh baked chocolate chip cookies! But nope, I was strong. I just thought of all the things I can look forward to if I stick to my plan. I had the deli meat from the sandwich and an apple that I brought for myself. Today they are having pizza, so unless I want to starve, I will bringing my own lunch. I am looking forward to my shrimp Greek salad!

Just a note: The picture of me in my profile is what I want to look like again. I was in great shape and happy with myself. I want to be that way again! I will get there!

So this is me now. I am hoping to see some changes, mentally and physically, in the next couple of weeks.

Hips - 38"

Waist - 33"

Thigh - 23"
I am not going to necessarily measure my weight at this time. I do have some muscle from bi-weekly bot camp/Crossfit. I am probably going to see a difference in weight anyway. I am also slightly over my normal BMI @ 25.1.

Day 2ish

I have  decided to give the Paleo lifestyle a try. So far so good although this is only my first full day. I have decided to to this for many reasons.

• It is just so darn hard for me to maintain my wieght since I have turned 40
• There are several health benefits that come with this lifestyle change: decrease in joint inflammation being the main one for me
• I am also hoping to see an increase in energy

Wish me luck as I go through this lifestyle change! I will be periodically posting updates and pictures as I travel through this Paleo Journey. Oh and this is Day 2ish because I made a yummy dinner last night. Burkey burgers. A delish combo of lean ground beef and ground turkey.
