Paleo Update - Getting back to it

I haven't posted anything about eating paleo for a long time because - well because I haven't been so good at it.

In our very neolithic world things like ice-cream and freshly baked bread and cherry soda pop are just so dang good that after several months of going without them I broke down and went sugar-nutso :(

They say it takes 21 days to form a new habit but when it comes to me and food that's hog-wash!  I could avoid sugar completely for years and still jump right back on that train at a moment's notice.  And I have.  Again and again which is why I have so many different sizes of clothing in my closet.... ugh!

Unfortunately, I'm at the point where the "fat clothes" are too snug.  Plus my joints are aching, I don't feel very good and I've been experiencing depression again - largely due to junk food overload.  Did you know too much sugar and simple carbohydrates can lead to depression?  Well it can so if you're depressed try eliminating it for a bit and see if you don't feel better.

Anyway, had a lovely paleo-ish dinner at my Mom's house the other night and that reminded me how very far I've strayed from the path these last couple months.

Ok the corn and rice don't count (but they were soooo good), but the ox-tails (yes, I said ox-tails) and salad certainly do.  And I had plenty of each too!

So I'm back on it as of yesterday!  Sugar be damned... I'm not eating anything sweeter than a carrot for the next month!  Can I do it? Let you know around July 4th or so.
