The Challenge Is Over...My Thoughts on Paleo...

Our challenge is over.  About a week and a half ago I was asked if I felt any different while doing this diet.  My response was no, not really - but now I realize I was wrong!  This weekend I ate food without restriction.  I had pizza, ice cream, barbecue, french fries, popcorn, soda and I felt terrible afterwards!  Clean eating makes you feel clean and I can say in retrospect - I had way more energy as well.  I'm not saying we are going to be total Paleo fanatics or anything - but we are going to continue to try to eat Paleo during the week and then eat without restriction (not crazy) on the weekend.  I have tried new recipes - some good and some I will not eat again.  I have explored new avenues in nutrition.  And, I feel really good about my choices pertaining to God's temple (1 Corinthians 3:16).  I struggle in the area of self-discipline and these last couple of weeks have been a good "work-out" for me.  I have been trying to be more consistent in my diet, my work-outs, and my quiet time.  Those are all things that I always make me feel so much better when I make the choice to make them a priority.
