I have been ridiculously busy the last 3 days and haven't blogged which I hate because I'm bound to leave stuff out! I will try my best. I got through a WHOLE weekend without drinking! Now I know I just made myself sound like a true alcoholic but I'm not. I do however like to kick back some drinks with friends on the weekend or have a couple glasses of wine with the hubs. Not ONE drink and I can honestly say it wasn't that painful. I do find the way people react to my non drinking slightly humorous! It's almost a crime to say "I'm not drinking". This must be what recovering alcoholics feel like once thrown back into the mix of things!
Moving on... This "lifestyle" can get pretty damn expensive and it takes a lot of prep work. The days of grabbing a box out of the kitchen and calling it dinner are gone but the way I feel after a week of doing it, it's totally worth it! I just feel good. ;) I'm learning what works as far as meals go and it is getting easier. I should note that I lost 7 freaking pounds this week! 7! 7! That's enough to keep me going. I haven't felt super deprived and its amazing how much you can eat for so little calories when you eat "real" food!
My only beef with Paleo so far is every time I try to research something I find conflicting info. Some people drink wine, eat SOME dairy, eat chocolate as long as its dark, and I have even seen some calling potatoes Paleo friendly! Those are all no no's right? Right? There are some super strict Paleo ers as well who frown upon even eating fruit! It's crazy and at times I'm so confused but I'm just gonna keep on keepin on. ;) Till my next rant..........
Amazing! Way to go. A whole weekend no alcohol is no joke! You're better than me ;-)
