Paleo....am I crazy?

College. That seven letter word just means no sleep, horrible eating habits, and a strong dependency on caffeine. I've always liked to think that I am a relatively healthy person but even if I did have good habits before, they have been long gone since I became a full fledged college student. That is until now. Looking into the mirror at how the freshman fifteen hit me, I decided it was time for a change. Not just a "watch my calories, 30 minutes on the elliptical" change that'll last maybe a week or two, but an actual lifestyle change. I am 19 years old, in the best years of my life, and it is time that I start treating my body as so. After seeing one of my good friends go paleo and fall in love, I started to do my own research. Paleo just makes sense. It is based on eating what cavemen ate, how we were made to eat. Nothing processed, no grain or dairy (depending on your source), and lots of meat and veggies. It isn't a calorie game because you are eating only things that are good for your body. Obviously you shouldn't gorge on one thing, as too much of anything is bad, but not watching my calories? Sign me up. Now the hardest thing about paleo is sticking with it. It is a hard change, going from eating whatever to only fresh, non-processed foods. Proper planning is going to be my best friend in this. Having a friend who I see every week, who is also a busy college student like myself to guide me is also a HUGE help. I have spent the past two weeks researching everything paleo and I am excited to say that I am starting this upcoming week. Sunday will be prep and Monday will start clean living. I have a feeling that my blog will start to be more and more paleo the longer I go, not only to share what I learn but also to help me keep going. Something about typing what I am feeling, even if the writing sucks, keeps me focused on my goals. 

Also, HAPPY PAY DAY. And I hope you have a beautiful Mother's Day weekend (:
