Back at it

Well it's been a few months of ups and downs. The biggest up? I finally got hitched! B and I got married in the Bahamas surrounded by our closest family and friends. It was an absolutely perfect day and week.

The downs aren't nearly so bad as the ups were good, but I've slowly been straying from Paleo (and any sort of good eating) again. I keep trying to remind myself that it's all a process. A journey. There probably is no end point to this journey - it's something that I'll be working on for my entire life. I figure as long as I'm making more good choices than bad, I'm doing alright.

So after wedding prep, moving, a week-long wedding and a week-long honeymoon cruise, all filled with fabulous (non-Paleo) food, it was time to get back on track. As of June 3rd, I'm on a modified Whole 30. Modified to be slightly less strict than a traditional Whole 30. In my past 2, I've found that being so strict tends to bring up some food-related neuroses and disorders from the past, so I'm just trying to be smart about it. Still no grains, no dairy, no legumes. Some pre-packaged food (mostly in the form of a Primal protein shake), Lara bars, mayonnaise. I will probably make a paleo pancake, which is expressly forbidden on a traditional Whole 30. I'll eat out and probably won't check to see if my steak is grilled in soy oil. So sue me. It's still a whole helluva lot better than what I've been doing in the past few months. And it's part of the journey.

Anyway, have to wrap this up because the Day 4 Brain Fog is hitting pretty hard right now.

Days 1-3: feeling pretty good, except some tiredness at the end of day 3. Day 4: so. tired. foggy. etc.
