Blog update

Hey everyone!

I have been meaning to write a blog update, but just haven't gotten myself to do it until this evening.


So last week went pretty well.  I ate pretty clean all week, but then I had some cheats over the weekend.  I am now noticing the effects of eating wheat and sugar- acne shows up, and my skin gets rashy and eczema flares up a bit.  This is enough to deter me from eating this crap!

I weighed myself on Friday and I am down another 2lbs!  I was happy with that, considering the junk I ate the previous weekend.  I am assuming that my marathon training is helping with the weight loss.

Yesterday and today I did consume some wheat and sugar.  :(  I don't want to eat like this anymore, even if it is just "on occasion."

So this week my goal is to eat very clean. I am going to allow myself to drink coffee with two packets of Truvia and some Coconut Milk creamer- 3x a week at work.

On another note, today I gave a close friend some advice on how I've been eating, along with meal ideas and recipes.  She is wanting to lose weight, so I'm hoping she can learn to eat paleo/primal, adjust to it, and start to lose weight and keep it off!  Speaking of that, my mom needs to get back on the wheat-free wagon! ;o)   Oh, and I just found out that my uncle has celiac disease!  So we will be a gluten-free family!  haha   Most people have some sort of gluten sensitivity, you just don't realize it until you actually eliminate it from your diet for a while, and then reintroduce it.  Check out this recent article:  http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204136404577206891526292590.html

Please leave some comments so I can get motivated to keep up with this blog (along with eating a very clean paleo diet)!!   What would you like to see me write about in this blog? Any comments or questions are greatly appreciated!  :o)
