Terrible Twos

I initially started writing to mark the end of Day 2, because after two days the whole thing began to sound doable.  I love to create mathematical scenarios in my head, so when you think about it, I only have to do these last two days 49 more times.  Or I'm 4% of the way to being at the halfway mark.  Or, in its most simples form, I have 98 days left.

Yesterday morning I woke up after a dream that I made a peanut butter sandwich for breakfast.  True story.

Otherwise I haven't had any of my usual peanut butter cravings, but it's still early yet.  I'm guessing it will be really difficult to resist the siren call once I get home for Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving will also equal the break in my "paleo diet" if we can even call it that.  I had a few cheating moments, but the fact that I'm essentially just cutting out most processed foods and dairy from my life in my mind satisfies the restrictions of that regimen.  I fully intend to cheat on Thanksgiving anyway.  And what would the Christmas holidays be without all of the refined sweets we consume? I'm not too strict on such things.

I was catching up on my Wednesday night comedy shows tonight and enjoyed the dieting perspective of ABC's "The Middle."  Frankie's father, after losing 4 pounds, begins making the professions against the evils of gluten and sugars etc. etc. and only goes to show how annoying the people are who only talk about what and how much they eat.  Gosh, glad I don't know anyone like that ;)


Well, I'm actually on Day 4 now, which is twice as far as beforehand! I haven't really been good about the paleo restrictions, mostly because I've been meeting up with other people who have been kind enough to make me dinner or bring me a cake pop at work....so, in the spirit of Thanksgiving and in keeping with Southern manners, I politely (and quite happily) have accepted some non-paleo items.  But I've been doing pretty well (even ate asparagus and zucchini for lunch yesterday), so what's a small little slip here and there? I haven't backslidden on the peanut butter or chocolate milk yet, so I count it a success!!
