I promised that I would follow through and let you know if I kept my promise. Well, I did, sort of. I woke up on Saturday morning and was on the treadmill by 9:15am. Let me tell you something, it felt great. Well, it felt great in the way that your entire body hurts from… Continue reading Update
Day 9 – 13: More progress
Well, its a good thing that commitment to my diet is more reliable than my commitment to write about it. But the good news is, missing so many posts does bring me right up to real time! So here is my progress so far - almost 2 weeks in and zero cheats. Every meal has… Continue reading Day 9 – 13: More progress
Day 8: Paleo is great!
This day was a whirlwind of ingredients, cooking, doing dishes, cooking some more, eating, doing more dishes and EVEN MORE COOKING! I would be okay with every Sunday for the rest of my life being like this. Our good friend, Chris came over to help me learn how to cook. We have a ritual of… Continue reading Day 8: Paleo is great!
Day 6 and 7: I’m in heaven.
So in an effort to catch up with real-time, I am going to try posting more than one day at once. Here goes nothing. Day 6: Friday I worked three 11+ hour days in a row last week so I decided to be a rebel and leave work at 4pm on Friday. (I don’t know… Continue reading Day 6 and 7: I’m in heaven.
Day 5: Progress
Let’s see, what did day 5 bring? More delicious, healthy food! Let me be really honest here when I say that so far, I am shocked at how well I have done. I have tried diets in the past, lots of them. Do you want to know how long “healthy eating,” usually lasts me? 1… Continue reading Day 5: Progress
Day 4: BIG ACCOMPLISHMENTS!

But usually, it involves either a microwave or boiling water to cook noodles then pouring in the pre-made can of sauce. But not tonight – tonight I made chicken breast with sautéed… Continue reading Day 4: BIG ACCOMPLISHMENTS!
Day 3: Temptation
I'm a bit late on writing this. Yesterday was a long day at work and then a night filled with frights and fears at the Trail of Terror. The third day of my paleo implementation was the hardest so far. I'm a Property Manager of a 267 unit apartment building in Saint Paul. Every month,… Continue reading Day 3: Temptation
Day 2: Starting to get the hang of this!
Weight: 143.6 Well, I made it through the first 24 hours and it wasn’t that bad. Not even when I got to work and saw the large candy jar on my desk that I had forgotten was there. It also wasn’t that bad when Shawn handed me a can of my favorite purple no carb,… Continue reading Day 2: Starting to get the hang of this!
Day 1: Time for a Change
Note to readers (if there are any): My blog is a couple of days behind actual time. I started writing the blog as word documents - just to hold myself accountable throughout this process. But then I realized, what would hold me even more accountable? Putting it on the internet! When I decided to start… Continue reading Day 1: Time for a Change
