Hello!

So 30 days is officially over and I don't know about y'all but it has definitely helped me transition back into a more healthy eating mindset and I have formed some good habits when it comes to picking what goes into my body.  It was definitely a good experience for me but oh how I missed my grains and cheese.  I celebrated last night with a cauliflower crust Hawaiian pizza....(still no grains but I wanted that cheese lol).  I am excited to continue my journey of healthy eating and I hope that you will too.

I apologize for not updating as regularly as I had planned throughout  the last part of the challenge.  I launched my own personal training business and had all my focus on that for a while.  Go check it out!

I have special online training packages as well as in home training if you are local:).

Have a blessed day everyone!

Days 13-20

Sorry for the delayed post!  I've been sidetracked this past week with the launching of my new website and business plan.  Check out my website at AubreyFitLife.com! 

This past week or so has been a difficult one for me as I have been focused on so many other things.  But, such is life!  We will never be able to forget about life to focus on a diet and we shouldn't!  I will say I am not proud of myself I did cheat a little bit but I got back on the horse and am going to finish this 30 days in full swing!  Don't let bad days and little mistakes ruin your mojo!  You just gotta keep on going and understand that health and fitness is a constant effort and there is always room for improvement.  Don't get discouraged and quit!  That's the worst possible thing to do.  Accept that you, just like everyone else, are imperfect and always will be.  There is room for mistakes:).

Good luck with this home stretch!  You can do it!!! Stay strong:)

Day 11 and 12

Hey y'all!

I'm hanging out with my friend in San Antonio this weekend!  So excited to go out on the town finally.  Don't worry though...I will still be sticking to my paleo ways. My friend is actually doing paleo with me and so we will be helping each other stay strong over the weekend!  An storm hit last night so if you are in the Austin area be safe!  Happy eating:)!

Day 10

Hey y'all!

I'm still a little zapped on the energy levels but did better today on my calorie intake. My grandparents came into town from out of state so I've been eating with my family a lot and therefore having decent meals. I think I mentioned this before but my Dad has Multiple Sclerosis and heard from someone who also has MS that eating paleo had changed their life!  So he's been doing it with me. He started only a couple days after I did. Since both of us are doing the paleo thing it's much easier to have good meals and stay motivated. I strongly recommend finding a buddy or family member to do your challenge with you!  Otherwise it can be difficult to keep your discipline and motivation up.

Day 8 and 9

These two days I've been a little more sluggish. I think it's due to the fact that I've been busy with some projects and have been lazy when it comes to meal prep. On paleo since everything we eat is very nutrient dense and low calorie it's difficult to eat enough calories sometimes...if you are trying to lose weight this will benefit you because you can still feel like you're eating all day long and remain with a calorie deficit. As for me, I'm trying to build muscle and not necessarily lose a whole lot of weight but when I'm lazy I just won't eat anything at all...which is BAD!  I'm trying to do better and really focus on fueling my body!

Week 1 COMPLETE!

Finished week one strong and I have noticed less and less cravings for bad things.  My sister had friends over tonight and they made cookies (my biggest weakness) and I didn't even think twice about eating one.  Not an option!  I feel like I have been leaning out some but am not going to stress about the scale or progress too much right now.  I will be taking pictures each week and will show you my weekly progress when it is complete.  (Can't let you peak and ruin the surprise!)

Week two meals are posted and ready to go!  I will be posting new "plans" each week still but for the most part they are going to look fairly similar.  The idea is for you to get the hang of what type of things you like and what is paleo approved and then to adapt it into your own lifestyle.  I hope y'all are having a good weekend and are pumped about starting your second week living paleo!!!

Day 6 Paleo

Hope everyone's  having a happy Friday!  I know I am:).   I was right on track staying 100% paleo today. My propane for the grill is gone though and so I missed out on a yummy grilled chicken dinner I had planned but I made some delicious paleo banana pancakes instead. Little treat:).   I've been a little sluggish today but I'm not sure if that's due to the fact I've had a crazy messed up sleep schedule the past couple days or from paleo. Probably lack of sleep more so.  First week is almost up so I'll be getting the second week  plan soon.  Keep on keepin on y'all!:)
