Welcome to my fitness and health journal. I created this blog because I wanted a place where I could keep track of my efforts as well as share my physical successes with friends. I am not an athlete, health nut, etc. just a normal person wanting to challenge myself. This blog also helps keep me accountable for any goals I set. Don't let me slack off!

I attended a luncheon for work today and they had very limited food options. I decided not to make a big deal about the non-paleo selection and just eat whatever they had available. I had a turkey club, very tasty mind you, but I started feeling ill almost immediately after I ate it. Stomach was upset and tummy started to bloat. After months of eating clean, the gluten took a nasty toll on my body. I will never do that again. It's a good thing I don't ever crave any "off-limits" foods. Healthy eating from here on out.

I'm not a huge ice cream fan or even dessert for that matter, but when I saw this at the grocery store, I had to give it a try. Made with coconut milk and sweetened with agave. Legit!

Forgot to post my gluten free (not Paleo) bang bang shrimp for dinner the other night

Almost as good as the one at Bonefish.
