Perfect Storm

So I started my new paleo challenge yesterday.


I kid I kid.  :)

But I did start this new way of life where I eat much cleaner food... nothing processed.  And for the next 60 days I eat no dairy or sugar.  And possibly beyond...  but for now, I am committing to the next 60 days. 

The first week is done and I am ok.  I made it.  Once I got through the first couple of days, I did truly feel better than I've felt in a very long time.  I have more energy.  I am stronger.

I still miss my coffee creamer and my wine.   I may always miss my creamer and my wine.  But... I feel better. 

The first monday I worked out at my usual time of 5:00 am.  I ate well.
I got into an accident.  Someone rear ended me on the way to my therapist.  I know... I know... how this century I am.  :)   I got home from work and went for a run.  It was hot.  It was VERY hot.  I got home and it took me an hour just to cool off enough to go to bed. 

I woke up at 12:00 midnight with a migraine.  I usually get a warning sign with my vision going funny...  but when you're asleep... well, there's no warning.  And it was a BAD one.  I took two excedrin migraine's and it wasn't putting a dent into it.  It took a HOT foot bath with dry mustard and when it cooled I was able to go back to bed and the headache abated. 

But that was truly my only snafu with the new diet.  :) 

Week one down and 7 more to go.  I feel great.  Let's keep this going.
