Pull ups

I have decided my goal for the summer is to be able to do pull-ups !  Well i have never been able to, but yesterday i used the assisted machine and had to put 140 lbs on it to counter what i could do:(  my goal is to get that number down to 100 by the end of the summer!  My pale journey is going well.  i have had some cheats , prob more than i should.  I now realize it though and pick things up and move on.  Before i would just kept bingeing.  Eating truly is a psych adventure.  I will admit that this way of life has changed my taste buds and my need to binge.  I have not binged on sweets in a long time! i have learned the meaning of Slow food:)

Before and after:)

Top pics are before , bottom Picts are after 5 weeks Paleo. I wasn't as strict as I should have been. I did drink any alcohol but I did have some pizza and some girl scout cookies. I am still eating Paleo because it has proven to me to help my RA symptoms . I am lucky I like meat and sweet potatoes.. I will try and post more Picts as I continue on this journey:)

Rack of lamb!

Yumm my first taste of lamb. Yummy but still can't get over what it was:(

Bloated cow

Yes that is what i feel like after i stupidly ate a piece of pizza and some chocolate on vday! Three days later i am still strying to recover... i have not had any of thing icky since then drinking tons of water!
Yesterday kicked my butt though.. subbed elementary pe and was tired and sore all.day. i.really felt this last flare.  I think it might have been a blessing in disguise? Because my brain no.nows how good i feel when eating right and how crappy i feel when not.. before i dont think it knew why i hurt.  Just that i did. Now it knows what to associate pain with? Any way subbing again today .. i got the call on my way to the gym so no workout yet.  Only had time to eat one poached egg this morning. Brought spinach with roast beef and avocado for lunch. 

Work outs

Gettin  behind on my post, whoops .  i also keep forgetting to post my workouts!  well eating is going really well.  cheated a lil yesterday.  Had a latte after i got my blood taken. Id did forgot that i could have asked for almond milk, next timi will.  I did have sugar free and nonfat milk.  God it tasted good!  I need to get some Almond mil and make my own again.  Any way workout have been really good.  Been spinning with Erika Mon and wed mornings.  This morning i ran 2.5 miles, did some legs and abs and then ran another mile.  Came home and had a leftover meatball from last night.  I made a huge pot of meatballs they were yummy and was able to eat leftovers!  One thing i am really wondering if i am detoxing??  my face is so broken out!! Is it because i am sweating out the toxins??  I also feel not so hot all the time, meaning i am not a sweat hog and wearing shorts cuz i am so dang hot all the time.  I have actually been cold??
So tonight not sure what we are gonna do for dinner  i did pick up stuff to make chocolate fondue:)
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Kids loved the squash!

AMAZING!

I feel amazing!!!!! its bee 5 days and i feel great!  no sluggish drops in energy, no major issues with movement in the Morning! I have always had trouble in the mornings.  I would go straight for my meds. It was hard to make a fist in the morning. the last couple of days i could walk down the stairs without hobbling.  I have been able to make a fist.  It takes 21 days to make a habit?? well 5 down, 16 more to go!
