Eating like the cavegirl I am


I don't think I've updated anyone on my Paleo/primal diet progress lately. Too wrapped up in relationship angst I suppose. In that regard feeling very thankful this relationship didn't go too far down the road, I'm going over what happened in the weeks leading up to the break-up and the writing was on the wall. I miss him less every day.

I'm eating well roughly 90% of the time. The other 10% are conscious choices I've made and not splurge/binges. I continue to feel incredibly energetic. It's mind blowing how much energy I have.

I walk an hour every day before work, a very quick pace and although this summer is kicking my gym time in the ass, because I'd rather be outside, I'm still getting in some strength training.

I've mentioned I don't weigh myself and I have no plans to. I get caught up in the numbers and when they aren't what I think they should be I will overeat in frustration. It took me years to learn that lesson. I figure, it's a guess, that I have approximately 20 - 25 pounds left to lose. My legs are very athletic and solid looking, it would be great to get them down a size or two. Caution will be given in order to ensure my face doesn't get gaunt - not a good look for anyone.

The good news though is today I reached a size 8! Whoot. I thought this would be the size I'd aim for as a goal, but perhaps a 6 would be better for my small frame. We'll see.

I honestly think my pictures make me look fatter than I look in the mirror. Is that possible or am I deluded?
