I wish I could exclaim that I have wonderful news and that I kicked the challenge's ass, but not this time. The good news is that I have a newfound awareness of what I eat and how it effects me; and I can happily report that I lost 6.5 pounds. But as for the fat percentage loss... Well, those numbers were rather baffling. Oh well. I know in my heart that what I am doing is right. To eat wholesome, organic, local foods... To dump the breads and pastas that make me feel horrible for hours after I eat them... And to push myself to walk into that box (gym) at least 4 times a week... These are all steps in the right direction for a happy, healthy life, and I just have to believe that if I keep doing what I'm doing, that someday that damn "muffin top" will be a thing of the past!
There is a great t-shirt I've seen with the saying "stronger than yesterday". Hell yes I am!

Paleo Challenge -- the last week!
Just 6 days left of the Paleo Challenge! I admit, I have not been 100%. But those times that I cheated, I made sure that I REALLY enjoyed my cheat and then I moved on and got back to a Paleo lifestyle again. The trick is to not beat yourself up and to think "well, I goofed, I guess I'm done with the challenge". Heck no! Start fresh with your very next meal and just keep trying to do your best. I've been more than frustrated with the lack of movement on the bathroom scale but I just hope that there are changes going on on the inside that I just can't see. The upcoming bod-pod reading will definitely be interesting. Fingers are crossed!
