Yesterday I finally got the opportunity to go and see my cousins, Jason and Rebekahs, new baby, Wilson. He is so stinkin' cute! He has got the softest lil' cheeks and the cutest lil' "wrinkled ol' man" face! I love it! I also got to see their first born, Hope. She is getting so big; giant big blue eyes, blonde hair, and full of personality. She is growing too big too fast! I really need to make it a point to get up there and see them more often. I have missed them. They are an inspiration.
While visiting I had the opportunity to discuss my new plan of action to take control of body, and concerns that I have. One of my main concerns is that I have a gluten intolerance. Not that it necessarily "concerns" me, but my education regarding "gluten" in general is not that great. I have always made meals that included some sort of pasta, bread, etc. So learning an entirely different way of purchasing food, cooking, and eating is a little intimidating and a bit overwhelming.
Jason and Rebekah are people who have already learned the value of taking care of their bodies and listened to my concerns. They also had some great advice. They suggested the "Paleo Diet" to me. I guess it is a diet that they use and have great success with it. It omits gluten and dairy (which my body does not agree with either) from your diet. I had heard of this diet before but never really knew what it was about. I just thought it was another fad. But this one sounds like it might be the right one for me or at least point me in the right direction.
So I have decided to take my friend Mandy's advice and make smaller goals that will contribute to my ultimate goal. (Thanks Mandy!) My goal for this week is to go to the library and research the Paleo Diet, continue not drink soda, to omit gluten (to the best of my current knowledge, to walk everyday and to loose at least 2 pounds. I only have a few days left of the current week. I'd better get crackin'! I can do this....right?
