Since recommitting to Paleo my energy level has gone through the roof. I think part of my sluggish feeling was the allowing certain things into my system that weren't Paleo but gluten free. Now that I haven't indulged in Yogurtland, Zpizza or gluten free bread in the d-hall, hot cookies from the d-hall or any other non-Paleo indulgence I have had a boost in energy! I feel like I did at the beginning of this adventure and I'm thankful for that. For instance, for a few weeks it has been IMPOSSIBLE for me to get out of bed in the morning. I was unwilling to admit to myself that it was because of the various cheat foods I was allowing myself each and every day but now I clearly see that's true. This morning I popped out of bed around 6:30, gave Stella a walk, went and got coffee, and made breakfast AND was early to work! I feel better.
I still can't believe how closely tied food and energy is. I find it interesting that last night, I was Facetiming with a close friend and was able to consider walking Stella at 8:30pm. I firmly believe it's the recommitting to Paleo that has provided me this burst of new energy. I'm feeling good and hoping that I'm on the right track again with my Paleo lifestyle.
I will continue my journey and continue the adventure because there are only a few weeks left of dining hall food which means, COOKING! I'm so excited for cooking. I want to experiment with bone broth and various Paleo recipes! I'm beyond excited that I can barely control myself!!!!
I have also been tracking my weight (because I'm on my period) and it's so interesting to see how weight fluctuates while one is on their period.
