Paleo Intro + Before/After Photo progress

Hello my old friends! It's been a while.

A few months ago I learned of a slight medical imbalance that I have. It's nothing serious (so no worries) but I am finally wanting to get everything in check. A sort of rejuvenation - a new job, a new diet, and all with Matt's full support doing it with me. He's such a great guy :)

We're starting the Paleo diet to get things started off on the right foot. It's going to be pretty hard so I thought that I'd enlist the encouragement of anyone reading this to help keep me focused!

This is embarassing but for the sake of holding myself accountable, here is the ugly truth - my before pictures and my before weight. Hopefully after this "30 day reset" I'll be proud to have better photos and a better number to report! I mean, it's already gotten better than it was, right?

This is from November and December 2010 when I was at my heaviest (236.8 pounds!).

This is my current photo set. Here I'm 210.0 pounds. That's right.... 26.8 pounds down. It's amazing how much 26.8 pound sounds like a lot but there doesn't seem like a huge difference to me. It must be time to get back in the gym!!!!

I have to say that just looking through all these photos has really reaffirmed the fact that this is just for me to get healthier. I am so glad that I can look back and say that no matter my weight, I've always been happy. Good to know that I don't necessarily let my weight control that!

So that's it for my introduction to Paleo post. I'm going to post some of our first experimental recipes soon. Stay tuned!
