Paleo is going good, had one off day but overall really good. I am back in the gym. I'm down a good 15 pounds.
Now if I can just move into a less stressful job!

One Week In
One week into Paleo, got to say, the first 5 days I really craved bread and sweets! I have also been weaning myself off coffee, tomorrow is the last cup, a very weak one. Hope the headaches don't come. I am hoping that will help with stress/cortisol/adrenals etc.
I am in the midst of "cooking Saturday". Have my breakfast (turkey and small amount of yams) for two weeks in the freezer, lunches almost done (chicken and broccoli). Tonight I will make my dinners, quiche: egg whites/broccoli/zucchini/roasted diced tomatoes. Last week I made this and froze portions. It was okay, but I was reheating it in micro wave which made the eggs a bit rubbery, so I switched it to dinner where I can heat it up in the oven, huge difference!
Today a 20 minute ride on the bike and some wall ball squats. I have lost so much fitness, I do hope it will come back relatively fast. Ironman Championship on the PC as I prep and cook. Monday it is back to getting to bed at 8:30 and getting up at 3:30 to hit the gym before work. I am going to push the weights heavier and increase the intensity of the cardio and lessen the duration. I am going to swim at least once a week, because, well, I miss it!
Tomorrow, I am going to set some goals for races for 2013. Yahoo!

Paleo Starts Now!
A big "Mahalo!" to Dianna for blessing me with this book!
I have two others, but this one makes so much sense and the recipes are, well . . . very practical! "I'm in!" as they say. Just got back from shopping and today will be a day of preparation and moving my butt!
Also, please check her other blog - Island Paleo
I am back on track, have dropped a good ten pounds. I am back to focusing on Jess type workouts, intensity, very little slo-mo for now.
And thanks again for your incredible support!
(and yes Pam, I finally listened :-) )
