Fast Track to Skinny Cavewoman

I mentioned a few weeks back that my husband, JW, and I were going primal, and primal we have gone.

The first two weeks were so hard, the headaches, hunger growls, and groggy moods didn't help out much either. But slowly the headaches went away, the hunger growls silenced, and our mood went from groggy to energized.

I weighed myself the first day of the diet and weighed 189lbs, I weighed myself last thursday and weighed 166lbs! WOWZER. (for those who are trying to subtract this on your calculator right now...like I had to...its 23lbs lost)

Goodbye 23lbs of useless fat...you have over stayed your welcome, and you are not welcome back, nor invited on our anniversary cruise in June.

To be honest, when I saw the scale said 166 I made a mad face, because I was in total disbelief. So what did I do? I called my sister of course. I wanted to get her RN expertise to see if this 23lbs lost in three weeks was possible, and much to my excitement she said it was.

A smile was what I was wearing the rest of that day...along with clothes of course.

As of today, I am eating primal for 4 weeks strong, and enjoying that one day off a week.

I'm a dreamer, and my dream is to be a size 8, but I wouldn't be upset with a 7, 6, or 5 either of course. My realistic goal is to be a size 8 by Cruise time. So far my clothes are fitting better, but I am still 15lbs heavier than what I use to be in 2009/2010 so when all my clothes fit better, or even get to big, I'll be on the Fast Tract to Skinny Cavewoman, or possibly The Incredible Shrinking Woman...who knows?

Wedding Bells

Oh my word! Those are the only three words that I could think of that sorta kinda expresses how much fun I had this weekend!

Thursday night my bestie and I left Whitehouse Texas and headed to Houston for our best friend Jared Hudgins wedding. We got there at 12:30ish, then headed to hang out with some of our friends from college.

We didn't finish hanging out with them until threeish and then didn't go to sleep until five. At 9:00 I woke up wide awake. We went shopping until 3ish. Got ready for the wedding, went to the wedding from 6 until midnight, then hung out with everyone until 2am, drove all the way back to Tyler got there at 6, slept for 30 min. Took Brit to coach until 3pm, slept until 7pm, went to dinner, came home, slept until 10 this morning!

Such a fun weekend! One thing that would have made it an epic weekend is if the love of my life, JW, would have been there. I missed him SO much.

I'm so blessed to know and call all these people in this photo my friends! Love them all so so so much!!

Congrats Hudge & Kait!!

We Went Primal

New years has come and gone, but my resolution to lose 50lbs as not. I am still on the route to lose this extra, unwanted fat. I currently weigh 180lbs, but I would LOVE to weigh 130lbs. I honestly just wish I could be a size 8. What a dream it would be to be down in a single size. So a college friend of mine went on the Paleo diet a few months back and lost 70lbs. So I HAD to ask her her secrets, ands he graciously wrote me an e-mail full of the diet/life style changes, and do's and don'ts, and tons more information.

The paleo diet is pretty much anything but, processed foods, beans, sweets, carbs.... There are a lot of things you can't have, but there are tons of healthy things you can have. So far I have been eating a lot of eggs, fruits, veggies, and lean meats...now thinking about it...thats all you can have. So, so far, so good.

I actually found out last night you can have DARK CHOCOLATE! It has to be at least 70% cocoa, but you can have a little bit each day for a sweet. It has pretty much been heaven to me. (as you can read, I get pretty excited for sweets)

So feel free to follow my blog, and watch mine and my husbands transformation. I'll post photos along the way. Hope you enjoy!

Here's a photo of my mom and me a few weeks back at my college graduation. My face looks extra thick in this. Can't wait to see it slim down, along with other things.
