…wherein I confess that I fell off the “transitioning to Paleo” wagon about a week after I hopped on!
So guess what? Apparently when you plan to change your entire way of eating, some planning is required in order for that to be a success. Go figure!
Also, news flash? Babies take up a LOT of time. Where BB (“Before Baby”) I could have zipped out to Costco or the grocery store any time to stock up, and had time to cook most nights (I didn’t say I actually cooked most nights, just that I had time!), now … not so much.
So, yeah. I made it about a week before my (a) failure to plan/cook/shop ahead and (b) inability to make time for such things mid-week derailed me.
Oh, and then there was the GSS2012 (Great Snow Storm of 2012) wherein we were “snowed in” for a week. And by snowed in, I mean we had 12+ inches of snow and we live on a hill, so although the roads were mostly fine about a mile from our house, there was no getting out of our neighborhood unless I wanted to slip and slide in my car like I was on skis.
So, yeah. Crap, I already said that.
Anyhoo, in an effort to be more realistic, I am taking this week and coming weekend to do my shopping/planning/cooking ahead. In the meantime, I am back to no sugar starting now. Each day I will do one thing to prepare for my change in food choices. Except today, when I am going back to the gym. For the first time since Alana was born. I’m signing us up for a family membership and I will break a sweat. That’s more important to me, today, than anything else.
Here’s the plan:
Tuesday: Costco after work.
Wednesday: Cook one Paleo-friendly meal, freeze at least 4 servings of same.
Thursday: Grocery store after work.
Friday: Same as Wednesday.
Saturday: Cook 2-3 meals, freeze, also prep snacks for the week.
Sunday: Same as Saturday.
Workout-wise:
Monday (today): Gym
Tuesday: Wii Fit
Wednesday: Gym
Thursday: Mid-day walk (little rain in forecast)
Friday: Rest (I have a hearing that day and like to get home early on Fridays if I can!)
Saturday: Gym
Sunday: Not sure, walk with hubs hopefully?
How about you peeps? How are you all doing? Please don’t say “I told you so” on the whole failing to plan is planning to fail thingy.

such similar paths and we live so close – we should meet sometime (in a much less creepy way than that sounds…)
I think I was going to come running with you and a friend one time and I can’t remember what happened…but I didn’t make it (or it got cancelled?) I can’t remember anymore!
Good luck with the changes – it always seems like it’ll be so simple to make the changes but babies complicate things more so than anyone can explain…and then there’s Mommy Guilt…if that burned calories I’d be stick thin!
we would never say I told you so
its a new day.
lets just get back up and try again.
