I don’t believe in diets. I don’t believe in detoxing. If you eat healthy regularly, there is no need for either. But what happens when you just can’t get right?! I’ve made no secret that 2015 was a rough year for me and after gaining a whopping 40 pounds *eek!!*, something had to change. See, once I discovered paleo, I haven’t had an issue keeping my weight under control. Even after I had my daughter, I got my body back in about 6 months without regularly working out. Unfortunately, my stressful 2015 threw everything out the window and I’ve been trying to get things back in order. I mean….pizza. Enough said. To get myself back on track I’m doing a 30 day detox of sorts. There isn’t a good way to describe what I’m doing. I’m not doing any fancy shakes or juice cleanse, I’m not eating meat, I hate beans so I’m not going completely vegan, I do limited dairy. I’m basically eating a lot of veggies, limited grains (which I’m used to because of paleo), and no meat/animal fat. Definitely including eggs. I’m pretty much making up my own rules.
Friday was day 1 and it was easy because I was at work and could figure something out fairly quickly. Saturday was rough because I didn’t have a lot of the food I needed on hand. Today was better because my husband went shopping so I have a lot more items to choose from. We’ll see how day 4 goes but so far I’m feeling good about it. I’ve lost 2 pounds already and although weight loss is an ultimate goal, my main reason for this is kicking my body and mind into high gear to live the lifestyle that used to be so easy for me.Stress is a b****. Wish me luck!!
