I feel so much gratitude towards my coaches. I never would have made it this far without such wonderful coaches, pushing me and encouraging me every step of the way. Thank you, Ian and Geo. Tami, Dawn, and Mark you've also helped me a lot, too!
The paleo diet has worked wonders in my life. I know it will do the same for you if you give it a chance. But, the only way I've been successful on this diet is allowing myself to eat a little of the "bad stuff" when I want to. This prevents me from developing cravings and wanting to rebel. Last weekend, I ate some pizza. Today, I didn't feel like cooking and Reggie didn't want to eat chicken (which was on the menu). We both smiled at the evil thought of ordering pizza. But I couldn't do it, not on this WONDERFUL BENCHMARK DAY! So we compromised and got tacos. Carne asada and guacamole are paleo, the little tortilla I ate wasn't. Really, it's okay to cheat a little as long as the big picture is there- a diet that you can sustain and that you actually look forward to because the food tastes great and you feel energized and healthy.
I'm sure I'll dabble in a little more "cheating" this weekend when I go out with my friends, and I'm looking forward to it!
4 more pounds to go before I'm considered within a healthy BMI!
