Day 13

i am totally committed to paleo today. i have no doubts, hesitations, or frustrations with the new lifestyle i have created for myself and (in this moment) i have enough motivation to carry me through the next two weeks, and who knows where from there. although i myself havent noticed too many physical differences, a few have been mentioned to me by others- and how encouraging is that? that in just under two weeks, my body has started to react to the healthy choices ive been making. and how hard are these choices, really? sure, i miss the convenience of a sandwich every now and then, and a cheese plate from barbuzzo can be a great way to unwind after serving for 7 hours- but what i DO get to eat is even more delicious. cashew &herb stuffed pork chops, pumpkin banana bread, roasted brussel sprouts, and rosemary lamb shoulder. i have yet to make the same salad or omelette twice, and i wake up excited about trying new recipes every day.

today was my first CrossFit class and i loved it. i loved being part of a group, being in unfamiliar territory, questioning if i could complete the task at hand and then totally surprising myself. i was left with such an unfaltering sense of pride- and will be chasing that same feeling by fully committing to this style of exercise.

today @ garces trading company i had MULTIPLE choices of things to enjoy from the menu, that was a great feeling. what i decided on was steak &eggs, with an heirloom potato bacon salad (didnt eat the potatoes), gin smoked bacon, and caramelized squash topped with granola (the granola was not so lucky)
