Changing my journey

I made a conscious decision this morning to NOT do the whole 30. Why? I love how I eat. I love coffee, I love almond milk, I love the way I eat. I do think I can cut back on certain foods but I don't want to be restricted. I want to eat the way I eat because it's good. I'm not binging on sweets, I don't eat ice cream very often, I don't drink regularly, I don't do a whole lot that is "bad." So I'm going to eat the way I do and add in more exercise.


I am going to say something that most people can't or don't. I love my body. I have been Paleo/gluten free for 2 full years January 21st. My life has changed so much. I am finally happy with how I look and feel. Sure, I could be 10 lbs lighter, but who can't?! I'm happy with my weight and my curves. I like that I wear a 8/10/medium. Sometimes I get annoyed at my pooch but at 29.5 years old, I'm look and feel so much better than I did when I was 19. I can't stress it enough; doing the whole 30 right now wouldn't be for me. I have been seriously reflecting on it and if I were to join the bandwagon, it wouldn't be for me and that's the worst reason to do anything. I can be me, be happy, healthy, and fit, eating the way I eat and being comfortable with that. Instead of focusing so much on what I can't eat, I'm going to eat to nourish my body and I'm good with that. I'm going to be active and continue barre and Pilates. I am happy with this choice and will continue to make good decisions for me.


Here's to a 3rd year of Paleo and my amazing lifestyle. Here's to activity and loving your body just the way it is, ever changing and growing but beautiful in any form.
