Two week mark

Husband and kids have taken to calling me "cavemom" because of my Paleo/Primal eating experiment. This is what I would look like if I was an actual cave person. Though I am sure there would be a hollowed out rock full of wine in my other hand.

I am mid way thru this month long eating experiment. I am not sure how I feel about it yet. On one hand, it is easy to make meals since it is all meat/poultry and a veggie. But I do make Husband a side dish of stuffing or potatoes or noodles and I do have a bite or two. Just not a full portion.

I seem to have more energy or at least I am napping less. My mood seems to be a little more even keeled and my grocery bill is a lower since I am buying less processed food. I do find myself looking longingly at a can of soup: how easy to open, heat and eat. But then I look at what's in it and the names I can't pronounce and I head back to my can of tuna.

I am getting a little bored with my food selections. Only so much ground turkey one person can eat. I think I need to go back to the book and see what kind of herb and spice combo's they used on their food. Jazz it up a little.

I thought I would be losing more weight than I have. I am not as puffy as I used to be so there is progress there. I feel leaner and stronger but that could be because I am running again. Hard to say just yet.

I will keep you posted on the last couple weeks and give my decision in the end.

Be well,

Cat
