Well waking up after the Karen WOD was stupid. My legs almost gave out as I got out of bed. For a second, I questioned going to the box this morning. I am still going because I am that much addicted to the crossfit kool-aid. I will hurt..pretty sure. So I am happy that the paleo challenge is over, but not because I want go on a gluten and sugar binge now, but because I don't have the pressure to be so strict on myself. I am still going to try to stay gluten free even if I have a cheat day..I came to discover gluten is not my friend. Paleo is good for me and I got some great results in the right direction. I had no idea I would lose 10lbs and 2 inches off my waist. I just wanted to feel good and do it with a group of people to stay accountable. I know people who know what type of things to eat are like oh that shouldn't be that hard, but imagine a lifestyle of this. Going to parties or places where you see those foods you oh so loved to devour. It's hard..I won't lie. It's more money spent on groceries, but less on eating out. My hubby and I have just figured out that we want this for ourselves and any future children we have. With children OMG can't even imagine the struggles we will have to face at social circles, but I don't want that to discourage us. I never want anyone to be weird around us and there is usually some other snack foods we figure we can eat. I believe if you are respectful and informative to a host about your eating preferences and also offer to bring something to share everyone will be happy. We truly believe the health benefits outweigh the extra bucks spent on the grocery bill and the social implications.

In other news, the hubs will be home any day now! :) I must get crackin' on some more packing..right now feels like I am a little behind. I haven't done this in 3 years or so..I am little out of practice LOL. We have so much going on in March with moving and a wedding for my bestie Kelli!! I am so happy for her she has found someone that actually appreciates her, genuine, and has a great sense of humor! Here's a pic of them. :) I wish we lived closer, but the visits will suffice for now.
I don't really have much else to update, but really need to get going to the gym. Later!
