Day 30 was yesterday, and I have successfully completed a month of Paleo!  I know that there were times when I was eating out that I’m sure a little butter/salt/vinegar snuck into my food, but other than that I was totally with the program.  The run down:

• Not that this was the reason or plan, but I lost 10 pounds, and all my jeans now fit. Yay!
• I ate guacamole salad on Wednesday with no ill effects, and had cheddar with lunch today, also with no ill effects. As getting ill every time I ate certain foods actually was the reason that I did this, WOW! Maybe on Sunday I’ll try a glass of red wine. Yum!
• I had them take the bread off of my sandwich at lunch today ’cause why not. I’m actually starting to think that food tastes better without bread. It was a little messy, but it worked. And I’d really like to keep the ten pounds not on. It’s been like 10 years since I was under 150, and I think I’m going to shoot for 145, which has been my long term goal. And now I think I can do it. I’m even thinking about excercising… (but maybe that’s going too far…)
• This morning I had my first Scotte (Scott made latte), and it was sooooo fabulous. Today I’ve been a little more alert than I have been lately, and I’m wondering if it’s the coffee.

I’m so glad I did this. A month is really not that hard, and the benefits of how I feel about food (and how I look!) have waaaaay outweighed the cost of a month of cheese and wine (and bread, but I just don’t miss that that much – though I do gotta say that I am looking forward to a pastry treat one of these days, but only if it’s really good!!). I’ll probably continue posting notes as I slowly reintegrate some foods (mainly dairy, wine, and salt) back into my diet, but overall I highly recommend 30 days of Paleo to anyone who has questions about their relationship with food.
