When recently confiding in a friend about some health issues a family member was going through, he recommended a book titled, "The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet," by Robb Wolf. He swears by it, and told me that his mother lost 13 pounds by following the diet, without even working out. I was intrigued, so I told my mother about it. My mom also expressed interest right away and the next day drove nearly an hour to the nearest town (she is retired and lives in a small town) to go pick up two copies, one for me and one for her. Barnes n Noble only had one copy left, so she even drove to two different stores. My mom is so cute. She always means business. So we both sat down and began reading this book while we sipped on hot green tea as the rain poured down. We LOL'd here and there because Robb Wolf's style of writing is hilarious. On the cover of the book, it reads: Transform your life in 30 days! Lose weight. Get fit. Reverse disease.
I fell in love instantly because I have been lugging around an extra 15 pounds for the past 2 years. I blame it on a break up from the love of my life. I was in the best shape of my life in 2008, and when he left me...food was my best friend, the gym and exercise became my enemy, and 15 pounds and 2 years later, I have had enough!!
My mom had this grand idea to challenge ourselves and see what results we could get in 30 days. In the few pages I have read, it says to take photos to compare and see the progress. I will follow all directions, and update this blog every step of the way. I am excited to take on this challenge, and even more excited that I have the support of my mother (even though we live 2 hours apart). We are in this together and will motivate and help one another via email, text, phone calls, and of course, our blogs.
