Paleo Day 2

Let me set the scene for you. I'm writing this in a completely dark room with blackout curtains. I've got the screen on the dimmest setting possible and I'm wearing sunglasses. Now go ahead and ask me how Paleo's going on measly day 2. Did you guess? It hurts! I have such a huge withdrawal headache and I just want to wrap my head in a warm towel and go to sleep! But, being egocentric I choose to write about myself instead.

I do physically feel better. I know that's kinda silly, but I got food poisoning on my last day of non-Paleo so I'm pretty sure a lot of the toxins got flushed out more quickly than they would have otherwise. I'm not bloated which is really nice. I am thirsty allllll the time because of increased protein intake.

My husband and I extended our 30 days so the end of the challenge will be on December 8th for both of us. With the extension comes and extra fifty bucks for a grand total of $150 to the winner. As he's back at his starting weight and I've kept off the 5 lbs from the start of the challenge, I'm feeling pretty confident. PLUS, being on Paleo is really gonna help me shed the weight even faster. It will make the torture of watching him eat popcorn in bed all worth it!

My plan is to do full Paleo until Christmas, ease up a little bit around the holidays (I love me some eggnog, champagne, and toffee!) and then get back into it on January 3rd or 4th when I'm back home from vacation.

I really hope V and I lose a ton of weight and just look really vital and healthy. His parents are always mentioning how he's gotten fatter and I just want people to tell me I look great! I'm thinking we'll send out New Year's cards instead of Christmas cards this year. I just don't feel confident enough right now to send a photo of myself to all my friends and family.

In a nutshell:
I've got a headache. I'm tired. I'm hopeful. I feel good emotionally. I'm eating well. I'm proud of myself.
