It's obvious I am having commitment issues and therefore I cannot guarantee the frequency of my posts. I seriously have so much going on that it's ridiculous. Even though I might not be writing about it, I am still staying on plan. I find that my days off are more challenging than others. I like being at work, I guess being attached to a desk and phone has it's benefits...especially when I can see myself pleading temporary insanity when I run screaming from the building and I drive straight to In N Out. Food is an addiction for me, and most likely it always will be. The heroin addict in recovery probably thinks about a fix like 100 times a day. That's probably how often I think about Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream from Baskin Robbins. Like the addict in recovery, I have a choice to make. I can go get my fix...I mean I can drive there and get a double ice cream cone and I'm pretty sure I could stop at that. Just like the heroin/crack/coke/meth user could go and get just one hit/fix...right? I mean I stopped once, I could totally do it again. The only problem with that is I don't want to disappoint myself. All of my hard work would be shattered in an instant...and that's not ok with me. I'm one month in and am starting to settle into a new "normal". I'm cooking at home 90% of the time, packing lunches and I always have nuts in my purse...lol. For anyone out there that might be reading this, please try...just try the Paleo diet. It's an incredibly simple concept....and here are my results so far:
