Week Five Primal

Start of primal week five. This is going swimmingly, must say. I'm not starving, not even close and am feeling amazing. I'd recommend this way of eating (WOE) for everyone in terms of how easy it is. Course you do have to give up pasta, potatos, pizza, rice, bread, milk, ice cream...but heck how bad is that really? (just kidding)

I'm an all or nothing person which is why I suppose jumping in with both feet was so successful. I committed for 30 days knowing I could give myself permission to end it after I'd made that goal. I honestly like this so much I can't see changing it any time soon. Perhaps when I reach my ideal size I'll add some more fruit and leave ketosis, but for now I'm content.

The most sugar I had last week was after a hard workout in the rain, coming home, opening the fridge and seeing watermelon. I ate a quarter of melon! 500 whopping calories and a ton of sugar, however the sugar didn't convert quickly to glucose and I didn't even leave ketosis. So if and when I get an urge to devour watermelon I will. heh

I've never been crazy about my legs but I've been working my legs off and I'm happier than I was. We'll see what the next few weeks and months bring.
