I've been thinking about you all week. I even started typing on multiple occasions, but found myself either falling asleep or being distracted by the folks that live in my house ;0)
It has been a normal week of over scheduling including but not limited to back to school and work, 
teaching gymnastics, piano lessons, senior all night party meeting, planning a high school reunion, swimming/diving meets, taking mom to the doctor and blah blah blah... I will say with the craziness and stress I have been tempted to cheat, but for some strange reason my self-control has been kicking in. I think it's you guys, I don't want to fail in front all three of you, so THANK YOU!!!

Not that you should ever be hungry with a Paleo pallet, but
because I am also keeping tabs on my caloric intake as well. I mentioned it last time and I'll tell you again, I love using The Daily Plate...well at least that's what it used to call it. It is now called livestrong.com's My Plate. (I'll put the link at the bottom of this jive - WARNING: I'm not an overall fan of my plate.gov so be careful if you're just gonna google it). I can track my calories with break downs in protein, fat, carbs as well as keep tabs on sodium, sugar, cholesterol and even water intake! It's so east THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT !!!

My energy has been here and there, up and down, back and forth. Today I was a little sleepy. What I first noticed is that my ALARM CLOCK WENT OFF AT 5:30am THIS MORNING!!! 
After that and much later in the day when I was feeling sluggish, I checked out my food log and found that today my carbs were only 14% of my caloric intake, so I added some berries to my dinner and plan on having a baked sweet potato.

I don't know where I heard it, but I know some of my fabulous CrossFit friends aim for a 33/33/33 break down of the protein/ fat/carbs, so that will be in my conscious thought for a while to see if I can boost my energy. Some other things I am taking into consideration is that I have also been a little under the weather as well as NOT being successful on the NEW YEAR RESOLUTION to NOT overload my schedule, SOOOO, that will also be a part of my conscious thought over the next few days...minutes...seconds...what was I just saying???
WEIGHT... This week the weight is falling off... don't get excited (this is my self talk, cuz I know the first few days are water weight). So, I started on Jan 2 at 128lbs and this morning I was at 123. Four of those pounds were the desaltification of the holidays... Desaltification is a real word, I know, because I just made it up!!!
De-salt-if-ic-ation: the act of unswelling your sausage shaped fingers and toes after binge eating and drinking your way through the holiday season resulting in the shedding of water weight gain :)
So here I am with a challenge to my challenge, the DETROIT LIONS 
are playing there first playoff game RIGHT NOW, for the first time since 1999 when Matthew Stafford (our QB) was 11 YEARS OLD!!!! And the truth is football sparks a physical response in me that makes me walk to the fridge and a grab an ice-cold barley pop!!! Can you here that??? It's the theme music to Jaws? I know the suspense is probably killing you... WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO JULIE??? STAY AWAY FROM THE FRIDGE JULIE...YOU'VE WORKED SO HARD FOR 6 WHOLE DAYS!!! Don't you fret!!! I will remain strong...I think ;0) No really I will...for now.

As of today I am still in the game...The same game I started on Jan 2. If you are challenging yourself to a diet or New Year goal or resolution please chime in... How's it going? Are you succeeding? Failing? I got a little of both going on right now, so since the first on is kinda rolling I will attempt to layer on the scheduling goal and I will check in with you three real soon ;)
