It's the last month to make a change in 2011. Do it. Now. Seriously.

Okay, so in honor of the last month in 2011, I've decided to start another 21 day challenge. This time it's going to be waaay harder than the last. But I know it's going to be so worth it. Here's the rules.

1. No grains
2. No dairy
3. No sugar
4. No bitching .. ahh just kidding. Bitching is totally ok and necessary.

I'm about to send my body into a downward hell hole spiral of cravings, mood swings, acne, hunger, frustration and a lot, I mean A LOT of curse words. My body is about to go into detox state. ew.

This will be interesting. If you've ever visited my blog here before, particularly last November, you'll remember I once tried to go paleo but failed, miserably.

Oh, the paleo "sponge-like" pancakes. *barf* (note the picture, yep.. that's them)

Anyway, I failed, but looking back now I'm okay with that. A lot of things were changing and happening in my life at the time and going paleo just wasn't the highest thing on my list at the moment. I had just started grad school and just started crossfit. I was both mentally and physically out of shape, working hard, and exhausted 24/7. The last thing I could, should, and needed to concern myself with was not eating pizza.

Once I got a better handle on the whole body/mind/life changing threshold, I've slowly learned to incorporate paleo into my lifestyle as much as possible. I'd say I'm a good 60-70% paleo 100% of the time. err.. well maybe more like 99.8% of the time because I occasionally drink moo milk when I'm at my sisters or my parents house with my coffee. But I always regret it later-- I've seem to become more lactose intolerant over the past year since I quit moo milk. Which I'm ok with, moo milk smells funny anyway and I never really liked it to begin with, it's just all I grew up with so it's all I ever knew.

So in honor of starting day 1 off right, I had a big pile of BACON!!! Turkey bacon and peppercorn bacon! yay!!! BACON!!! (thinking Jim Gaffigan here)

I wanted eggs, would have had eggs too if I hadn't eaten the last of the eggs on Monday. Went to Racetrac, assuming they have eggs but they did not. :( But that's okay because I still got my BIG PILE OF BACON!!

I really hope my friends will join me on this journey/challenge with words of encouragement, motivation, recipes and ooo!! maybe we should have a Crossfit Paleo Potluck dinner.
