paleo.

my hunky caveman & i finished our whole30 paleo challenge on feb. 13.

i started off valentine's day with some coconut coffee creamer, 

which i had really really really missed. 

i over indulged and had 3 cups of coffee... before work.

(i made the 3rd decaf, but i was on a caffeine overload & shaky & nervous)

slim made a roasted sweet potato, apples & cinnamon & chicken sausage

scramble that was absolutely  delicious- it was a great start to the day.

chocolate & treats were everywhere: 

in art group, at the office & there was some waiting for me at home.

i didn't indulge all day long . i just didn't want to. i wasn't craving it.

when i got home we made dinner & had some red wine & i had one piece 

of sweetness: a cocoa-coconut cluster ball from the box slim gave me.

mouth-watering just thinking about it.

 if i didn't feel as good & lean & healthy & strong as i do now i

probably would have gone back to gluten & sugar & wheat & dairy-

but i feel so good. my skin is clear and my body feels clean.

i was at first a skeptic, but now i'm a believer.

i'm not saying i'll never have a slice of bread again or eat ice cream, but

i am loving the way i feel. 

i'm proud of myself. i've taken such good care of my body.

i know everything i've eaten has been whole and natural and good. 

paleo can be challenging at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy.

we cooked everyday- morning & night. we prepared ourselves. 

we experimented with new spices & recipes & educated ourselves.

slim is a really good and patient cook. i loved being in the kitchen 

with him & creating new &exciting meals together.
