Splurged tonight, paleo style

So, I've been so good & the scale shows it!  So does my energy level.  I'm down about 3 pounds but will weigh in on Wed.  

My littlest is asthmatic & dairy is a trigger for her.  I bought coconut ice cream for her to have now that she is showing interest in ice cream. I was scooping some for her (after resisting the urge to devour the whole milk, whole fat ice cream milkshake with whipped cream that I had made for my daughter) when I realized I could have a little of this! :)  I melted about 1 T of homemade PB fudge sauce my friend had sent over last week & enjoyed my treat.  Funny how quickly your concept of a "treat" can change!

What's your favorite treat???

Paleo *FREE DOWNLOAD ALERT* and some links

I am feeling better already after just 1 day off the crud.  *phew*  A bit of a headache last night and both me and hubby were a bit grumpy, but I know it'll pass.

Amazon has a free download today you may want to check out if you're interested in starting Paleo:

*Disclaimer- I haven't read this.  I read 2 books all of 2013 and they were both on our incredible vacation.  But, can't beat free.

Also, a couple friends on Facebook asked what the deal was with Paleo and why I am cutting out grains.  Here's a good explanation. 

There are some other great blogs that get in to it- one of my favorites is ThePaleoMom.  Love the graphics. :)

I'm not saying it's for everyone, but I'm saying I see the benefit and the science makes sense to me.  I'll be weighing in on Wed and updating then on progress.  I haven't decided if I am allowing a cheat meal since I'm doing the DietBet this month, but I'll decide on Saturday. :)

Blessings!!!!
