Did Cavemen Drink Diet Pepsi????

Laugh but it's true.  In order to lead a clean lifestyle we need to get back to eating the way that cavemen did.  Easy for me to say, not so easy for me to do.  In the perfect world if I could 80% of the week eat proteins, vegetables, fruit and some nuts and lay off the dairy, pasta, wheats and pre packaged items I'd be golden. Not only would I lose weight but my health would be amazing and I'm sure I'd feel amazing.  So why is it so hard?

I know that a lot of my bad eating habits come from routine.  Like if the kids aren't home at lunchtime which is most days I love nothing better than sitting at the table with my kindle and eating my lunch, relaxing with a good book.  I can sit there for an hour and before I know it I've wayyyy overeaten.  I need to change my habits.  Most people need to learn to enjoy their meals and relax and I"m the opposite, I need to stop relaxing and start eating a bit more on the run.  I need to set a time limit and stick to it.  Like at supper time I'm always up and down with the kids, getting them more drinks or wiping up spills and I never get to just sit and enjoy and that's a good thing for me.  So my project this week is to not enjoy my lunches so much, to make plans around lunchtime so that I only have time to grab a quick bite.  And no kindle while I eat - just sit and eat and get it over with.

Another goal this week is to consume as much water as possible each day.  I feel so amazing when I drink a ton of water and I love seeing that pure clear pee.  TMI????

So those are two things I'm going to work on this week.  Baby steps but I want to see a weight loss when I go for a weigh in on Wed and this is the way to do it.  Cause I'm doing everything right in the gym so my kitchen is where the problem is.

I also today ordered a Paleo cookbook - I don't think I could live a Paleo lifestyle all the time but maybe a day or two a week might be just the ticket to feeling amazing.

Stay tuned for more on that.

And yes, like my title says - I do enjoy 1 diet pepsi a day, at lunchtime and I WILL NEVER GIVE THAT UP.
