Today, two parts of my life changed
1. I completed my Bachelors degree from UW-Madison and have officially moved back home to Illinois. YAY! I could not be more thrilled to continue my education on Digital Marketing & Analytics and see what life has in store next :)
2. My partner and I have decided to take on the challenge of embracing the "caveman's diet" aka. make our greatest attempt to live a paleo lifestyle.
We set the date of May 17th to begin our lifestyle change for a few reasons. If your going to change one thing, might as well change two? Haha jk. But in actuality, being home has much less distractions, temptations, and "but I only have one week left" excuses, than being away at college. Don't get me wrong, i LOVE college, but it is not exactly the easiest place to say no to margaritas and burrito bowls. NOT TO MENTION, WISCONSIN is not the easiest place to say no to CHEESE!
This also gave us time to perform some research on the Vegan/Vegetarian/Keto/IIFYM vs Paleo, the history and purpose of a paleo lifestyle, and the logistics of what to do and what NOT to do. We also had the pleasure of witnessing incredible transformations and listening to stories about friend's triumphs, tips and tricks. With this knowledge under our belt, we have gained an immense amount of motivation and determination. We don't expect to know every single rule and create a flawless lifestyle. Mess-ups and cheat meals are bound to happen, we are humans, but we are eager to give it our best shot!
