Day 15: Insert Bon Jovi lyrics here

Not only is it the start to the weekend, but its also...drumroll.....officially halfway through Paleo month! Needless to say, I was full on this guy at bootcamp today.

The over/under take on this whole situation thus far goes a little something like this.

The Pros:

• I'm 8.5 lbs lighter than when I started this jam..whatWHAAAAT.
• I'm sleeping well and my energy levels have been consistently even, and dare I say, higher than normal. It's pretty crazy to think back on the manic episodes I'd have post kitchen crack ingestion.
• My workouts have evolved beyond JUST cardio. I'm starting to see some muscle definition in places I didnt even know had muscles.
• My skin looks clearer.
• I have a lot of free time because I've become a shut in, so productivity seems to be at an all-time high.
• I'm saving money because I'm not eating/drinking out. This one's also kind of a con though because I'm realizing just how much money I spend on gluttony and I disgust myself.
• I've learned a lot about healthy and mindful eating and how that impacts your body and your mental state.

The Cons:

• I still have the hunger. No matter how much I eat, I'm never completely satisfied.
• I have no/a seriously wounded social life.
• I'm learning the harsh reality that I can't really cook. Like...at all.
• I've been eating a lot of red meat and eggs. I had some left arm pain today, most likely caused by whatever I did in bootcamp that also left me with a massive bruise, and for a good 20 minutes was convinced I was having a heart attack. Don't look at my google history just let it be known, I wasn't.

All in all, I'm pretty proud of myself. I can count the number of cheats in the past two weeks on one four-fingered hand (I gu-ed, I ate half of a brownie, I had some regular milk in my coffee one morning because it was either I have regular milk or risk murdering someone from lack of caffeine, and I had half a glass of wine today at Wine Week, which, I've been told is a debatable cheat, because some people consider wine paleo). I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty pumped and excited to see what happens weeks 3-4.
