Food.

As most of you know, food & nutrition is my job.  Although I currently do it on a premie scale and mainly in liquid form...but I do still know a thing or two about adult food.

I've decided to slow transition to the Paleo diet. I think this is the best for me because it's a combo of gluten free and processed junk free.  I need to eat more real food - more clean food. I need to put the cupcake down.  I need to stop making Snappy Turtles my dinner. Just because I know the calories in something and I know it's within my limit for the day, doesn't make it good for my body.

I am past the stage of just using an app like Lose It to get where I need to be. Now, don't get me wrong that app (and similar ones) are fantastic for people looking for somewhere to start their weight loss journey.  There's been a lot of success with that app in my office and I am SO proud of those ladies for sticking with it. I am missing the candy in my office though...but I don't need it!

Back to Paleo. I'm not going straight into the 30 day Challenge, but more of a modified transition to Paleo. I just bought a case of oatmeal from Sam's and there's no way in hell I'm throwing that away.  So my plan is to finish the grain and dairy foods that I currently own without buying any more.  The tricky part will be buying all the food and prepping it for the week on Sundays. I will learn to make time. I will learn to stick with the plan.

Also, If I'm on a "I WANT PASTA!!!" tangent, I might buy some of these Miracle Noodles to satisfy those cravings. Pauline of Fighter Diet endorses them big time because she eats like a hoss, mainly because that's how she trains.  She's like 200% Beast Mode. By the way, I don't want to look like her, but I have a ton of respect for her.
