Week 1 Here we go!!

Dave came home from work with groceries- all fresh fruits and veggies. He is pumped. I'm still delaying. He has been cooking eggs for breakfast in the mornings, adding bacon crumbles. I'm enjoying it but the cereal was still there tempting me. I decided it all had to go. I started cleaning out the pantry and boxing it up. Everything that was left in the pantry was primal approved. It was time to do it right! Now I'm committed!

We had friends for dinner tonight. I had planned to have a rice dish several weeks ago so went ahead as planned. However, for Dave and I a shredded steamed cauliflower to use for our "rice." It was awesome. It actually had more flavor than rice!

I decided that if I was going to commit to this, I needed to have all the information I could get so I ordered the Primal Blueprint and Primal Cookbook. I can't wait until they get here!

The Decision

Dave's son Brandon has been eating Paleo/Primal for several years. We have heard him talk about it and how wonderful it is. Then Dave's daughter and son-in-law, Mike and Rhiannon, adopted the lifestyle change. We have been talking about it, asking questions, etc. for several months, tossing around whether to take the jump and give up our carbo lives. While visiting Mike and Rhiannon this past weekend, we decided to give it a try for a couple of months and see where we are. Dave jumped right in. I was hesitant, wanting to wait a week or so to start. I knew I needed to clean the carbs out of the house or I would eat them! I also knew I would have trouble not having cereal for breakfast. I don't have the time or clearness of head to do more than pour a bowl of cereal in the mornings! Dave agreed to fix my breakfast in the mornings. I will start this life plan next week- after I have a couple more bowls of cereal!
