Successful Week One

It's been a whole entire week, that's 7 days. 168 hours. 10,080 minutes. (I won't go to seconds, that's a bit excessive) that I've been successfully bread-free. Holy shit I didn't think I'd make it this far.

Honestly, I thought abstaining from grains would be the death of me, literally the end. I didn't think it was possible. But once again I've amazed myself.

I've also watched my abs magically appear in the mirror. Amazed myself again.

Huh, who woulda thought I had a 6 pack of abs under the 6 pack of jelly rolls?!

It's only been 7 days and I've seen drastic changes. I'm curious to see what day 14 will look like and day 21 as well. That will be pretty neat to see.

I still crave buckets of ice cream drizzled with snickers and twizzlers but it's starting to fade. Hell who am I kidding?! No it's not! I'm just becoming more aware of why I shouldn't eat it which helps keep me in check with this paleo challenge.

I could really go for a subway sandwich though.

My moods seem to be starting to level out a little. Of course every time I see my coach Jamie I want to punch her and say "damn it Jamie! Why?!" Why didn't I listen to her a year ago when she told me to go Paleo, why didn't I adapt as easy when I did try last time? Why am I grouchy ALL.THE.DAMN.TIME?! and then say, thank you.

Thank you Jamie for kicking my ass all these days, for making me do shit I REALLY REALLY hate, like running. (in. the. cold.) For tending to my arrogance by saying things like "damn Meghan, look at your back muscles". Thank you for pushing me when I really wanted to give up. Thank you for telling me to go heavier when I didn't think I could do it. Thank you for the words of encouragement throughout the year, thank you for teaching me to appreciate my body and my strength. For making me realize that tiny women are not okay but that women should be fit, strong, and above all else healthy. But MOST IMPORTANTLY!!! THANK YOU FOR MY BIG BUTT!! or maybe I should say, new. It's not really, um 'big', it's just no longer concave. :)



Excuse my little rant about my coach. she's pretty much awesome.

Anyway, it's been a successful run so far. I just hope I can hold out through the next 14 days. I don't think they'll be any easier. Plus I have a wedding to go to next weekend.. ugh... cake. I'll have to pass on the cake! :/ But that's okay because I'm pretty sure I don't have the self control to limit myself to only one small slice if I did have any cake. I'd probably go into sugar shock-rage, like 'roid rage and literally destroy the cake. :)
