"Get busy living, or get busy dying"
Hello! I had followed Atkins in 2004/2005 and had great success with it losing about 70 pounds and feeling great. As is with life, s&*t happens and I lost a job I loved, had some dating troubles and unexpectedly lost my Dad in early 2006 and not only fell off the wagon but straight off a near by cliff.
Fast forward to 2013. I'm the heaviest I've ever been in my life and I'm miserable. What I love most to do, travel, is now too embarrassing and difficult. I'm no longer doing anything I love really. I've withdrawn from friends and most of my family. It's taken me a long time to build up the desire and strength but I am finally more than ready to, "Get busy living, or get busy dying"!
I've been reading a lot of books on Paleo/Primal and have decided that I'm going to approach Paleo with a foot still in the Atkins river. While they are very similar and stripped down are both Low Carb Lifestyles I am going to do a variation. Which is to keep my carbs extremely low ala Atkins Induction for quite a while, all the time focusing on Grass Fed & Free Range animals and eggs while working towards straight Paleo for maintenance for the rest of my life.
I started on 4/29/13 and have already dropped 8 pounds. I'm walking so far 30 minutes a day in the morning which I plan to increase as my stamina strengthens. I'm in it to win it this time folks! I don't see how I could go back at this point ever again.
I know this is going to be difficult - but my heart, mind, body and soul are all in.
So, Hello! See you around!
