Help! I'm drowning!

AHHHH!
Well, not really.. I'm actually sitting at my desk reading the Nerd Fitness blog. Amazing! Check it out if  you haven't.  I just finished reading his posts about Why People Suck at Getting Healthy and How NOT to Suck at Goal Setting. So, I am following his advice. i am going public, and I will most likely embarrass myself on here a few times.  Who cares? I am human and I am a lazy slacker that claims "no motivation" instead of laziness. (Wait, I just claimed laziness while claiming not to claim laziness.)

ANYWAY, you get my point.  Today is a new day.  Why not start on a new day instead of waiting for a new year.  Do you know how much I could accomplish if I started now? Ok, so, I know I've done this at least 576,412 times in the past year. I get really excited about something and then I give up.  I claim I am SO passionate about it and then I find my lost passion for cookies and ice cream and... uh oh. Let's just call my baking affairs the "unmentionables" from now on so I won't start some hard core craving. (I mean, I AM a girl).

So, What am I going to do?

Hmm.. good question I probably should have thought of a plan before I started typing.  Just kidding.  I am going to do a step-by-step into the Paleo Diet. (btw this link is to the BEST explanation I found online!) I know Steve from Nerd Fitness says to jump into it, but I know me and I know I will freak out and have a nasty binge with my unmentionables. It won't be pretty.  So, I am going to start easy.  I am really going to make sure I have the steps down! 

My Plan

Week 1: Add more fruits and vegetables.  I am going to add fruits and vegetables to every meal. (At least one or the other if not both)

Week 2: Eat a lean protein with every meal. (List here)

Week 3: NO PROCESSED FOODS! I don't think I eat processed foods, so by this week I'll just really watch what I'm putting in my mouth.

Week 4: no. sugar. *wince*  Ouch! That's hard to write.. I'm gonna do it though. I'm going to kick my sugar addiction in the butt!!

Week 5: No processed veg oils.

Week 6: No wheat or wheat gluten. (Oi! No more pasta! Did I just mix countries? Oi and pasta in the same sentence?)

Week 7: No more grains.
Week 8: No fermented or non-raw dairies.
Week 9: No beans or legumes. Easy peasy!
Week 10: Add some fermented foods. Now I'll be honest.. that sounds gross, and I'll need to research what exactly those are.

So, here we go! Cheers to a new me! :)
