Hi I am Kim.
I am a 38 year old mother of 2 boys married to an awesome husband.
I am starting a journey to change my lifestyle! No diet here. This is a lifestyle change I am after.
I have fallen into very bad eating habits. Stress eating. Convenience eating. I am a working mom so anything easily pulled from the freezer or cooked from a box has become a staple in my household. It is all garbage.
I have known for a while that my eating habits were wretched. I feel bad. Have no energy. SO tired. Joints hurt. Want to sleep all the time. Even a little stress relief in alcohol becoming a little too frequent as well. Bowls of cereal right before bed. Frozen pizza for breakfast. Pepsi is the great love of my life next to my family.
A friend of mind mentioned she had been eating a Paleo diet and felt great. For those of you who are not familiar, Paleo is also known as the caveman diet. What would caveman have eaten? Meat (pasture fed), fruit, and veggies.
I have read several books. Practical Paleo and the Wheat Belly Diet. If I know one thing, it is that I want to drastically reduce bread products. Notice I did not say eliminate. I am shooting for a lifestyle and being able to have birthday cake is a must for me. (At least at this point in time).
I already have been in a semi-transition to Paleo eating over the past month and a half. I have lost 10 pounds. I am happy for the weight loss, but I have been eating only about 2 out of 3 meals the way I consider healthy per day. I am here to get serious. Journal my struggles and work thru my issues.
Here is my before picture taken in January in Disneyland.
