Update on the Paleo plan:

So... uh, this thing is working! And I have cheated, since my last post I have had four Dr Peppers and one Amp energy drink, and a lunch from Charleys. (Chicken philly melt, yummy!) But I have gone from 226 down to 218. That is almost 10 pounds! I think if I throw in some P90x, include some starchy carbs for more energy, I could start loosing weight even faster. The only challenge is waking up before my toddler son; who, on the morning of the Amp consumption, awoke at 3:30am for those familiar with military time that is 0330 (and for those connected to the real world, that's BEFORE the butt crack of dawn). So, now that I know I am losing weight on this plan, and I have ordered a water filter (the tap water out here is lacking) I know I will be sticking with it for a while. The biggest obstacle will be going back to the states for a month long visit. I will probably do horrible, but I will try to stick with it. If I keep losing about a pound a day, I could be MUCH smaller by the time we fly back any way! WOO!
