There, I said it.
This past month has hit me hard. Really hard. I am left trying to understand "why?" and not coming to any conclusions that make sense.
My husband and I lost a friend to suicide on February 25/13. This was a man that I knew long before I knew my husband. He seemingly knew everyone. Always willing to help anyone who needed it. His death was such a shock to everyone. His funeral was super private so I didn't have the chance to say goodbye. Truth be told, I'm not ready to. He will have a public memorial later in the spring, maybe then I'll be ready.
As a result of this, I've tried to keep up my workouts but my eating has really, really slipped. Had I not been working out and eating the way I was I'm sure that I would have gained 10 pounds instead of the 3 that found their way back to me.
On March 15, I decided that I would give Paleo a try. I thought about it for 5 days and yesterday, March 20th was my first Paleo day. And what a day it was. The morning and most of the afternoon were fine, aside from feeling a little hungry, I felt good. Later in the afternoon, closer to evening, that changed. I had the worst headache that I have had in a long while. I'm sure that I was having some sort of sugar withdrawal. Today is day 2, It's going good. No headache and the day is almost done. Weirdly enough, I'm not craving chips, chocolate, or anything else. I find this very bizarre since that is usually a daily struggle with me.
