It’s been nearly a week since I announced to the blogging world that I was Getting Real with the foods that I use to fuel my body. When I made my announcement, I had no true plan other than to not eat a meal that came for a box or a bag. And I have been about 85% successful, I did have a frozen meal on Wednesday – but only because I had 20 minutes before church services started, a toddler with a head cold who wanted to be held, and no real plan for dinner. There has also been chocolates consumed – but it is Valentine’s Day – and M bought me a whole bag of my favorite truffles…..how can I say no?
But the week is winding down, the truffles are almost gone (sniff), the frozen meals are no longer in my freezer – and at 85% success I feel better. I see less bloating in my belly, less tummy aches after meals, and the scale shows a small loss. However, I can not keep winging it, and thus I began searching for a plan. Oh my!
There are literally thousands upon thousands of plans on how to eat real. I have read article after articles, compared and contrasted, talked with friends and family, read some more, prayed for guidance, and then made a choice. M, Joycie and I will be following the Paleo Style of eating. This feels like the best fit for our family, since M and I are both sensitive to grains and dairy products. Joycie will be allowed grains and dairy as she desires, but they will be whole grain and organic dairy from now on.
I plan on documenting my journey here – sharing receipes, talking about tempations, highlighting my stuggles, and the slip ups that are sure to come.
I promise not to turn this into a healthy living blog. But this is my blog about what’s happening in my life, and right now adopting healthier eating habits is a huge part of that journey. I hope that you will follow along with me.
