Starting Over

It's quite evident my paleo eating failed however, I'm trying not to look at it as failed.  It doesn't matter I'm back to in and doing great!  I started a few days ago on Monday weighing an embarrassing 218.  I was devestated, disgusted, ashamed, etc.  But everyone has a starting point.  I weighed today and was at 214!  The first couple days I went through all those terrible symptoms of not sleeping good and that feeling of being drunk, my head was just not right.  But I'm back to feeling good and I have even been working out a few days a week.  Thats right, my goal is a few days a week.  I'm not making a big deal of it, I'm not setting myself up for failure.  I would say I have a really good life but I'm working on cleaning it up a bit.  Along with that comes I've always felt I'm always taking care of someone else (and I don't even have kids yet) and I admit I get sick of it thinking when is it my turn to be taken care of.  I realized I'm probably to big of a control nut to let that happen and maybe I can look at is leading by example.  I am surrounded by family, friends, coworkers that need to get healthy and I'm going to lead the way.  Family and close friends are aware I eat paleo and each one has a different opinion.  Other than my husband, not one person has asked more about it, asked for resources, nothing.  I'm not the preaching kind so I figured I am going to do my best to change habits, especially when it comes to family.  We do so well at home eating but when we go to (mostly) his parents house everything flies out the window and we become sedentary, way non paleo eaters.

Anyway, my short term goal is 200 lbs by February 1st!

I can do it!
