"Oh geez. She's starting another blog? Hasn't every other blog she's ever started failed miserably after 2 barely viewed posts?"
To answer your questions, yes and yes. ;) I attribute the later to the fact that I'm lazy, and quite the procrastinator. I think of a post, or a topic that I want to address, and by the time I actually sit down to do it, the mood and inspiration has passed. I'm going to try harder this time, I promise. Hold me accountable.
I've been "off the wheat" for about 3 weeks now, and officially (mostly) Paleo for a few days. I FEEL AMAZING. My stomach feels like a whole new stomach, and trips to the bathroom are less frequent and more enjoyable. (More enjoyable? I guess anyone with IBS will appreciate that.)

If I ever forget to properly credit the original source, I'm requesting a not-so-gentle reminder of the rules of blog sharing, as I'm not used to this and would like to avoid pissing my fellow Paleo bloggers off. :) Also, tons of fitness pointers, pictures, fun toys and gadgets, and links to any and everything I think would be beneficial to someone who has made the choice to get up off the couch. Here's my first recommended blog for you to visit...
http://practicalpaleo.blogspot.com/ This is a great blog, filled with recipes to help you get going. Check out the coffee creamer, I made that today and am currently enjoying it in my cup-o-joe. Which I cannot live without. If you visit her site, tell her a cool new Paleo blogger sent you. ;)
