Back on the Wagon

Well lots has happened in 2 years! Marriage, moving, muffin tops - check, check, & check.

The last time I blogged, I was engaged and living in Vicksburg teaching art to K-6th graders. I was pretty successful on Paleo for the first few months but then decided processed, sugary foods were way more delicious, so I kicked Paleo to the curb. I had bouts of diligence throughout 2014, especially the closer it got to our wedding. The month or so before, I ate so much grilled chicken and broccoli it was ridiculous. Unfortunately, I didn't meet my goal weight before the wedding. I accomplished a lot but was still probably bigger than I was when I bought my wedding dress.


Fast forward to married life. I've heard of relationship weight but for some reason thought I'd already been there, done that, and had no extra weight to put on for after we got married. I mean, we'd been together for 5 years before we got married... that's plenty of time to gain all the happy, warm-fuzzy relationship weight you're gonna.

Well that was naïve.

I have gained somewhere in between 20 - 30 lbs since we've been married. And, again, am at a new "heaviest-ever" weight. Earlier this week I actually weighed myself for the first time all year because I knew what the mirror said and I didn't have the heart to see the scale reiterate it.

I started Paleo again this past Monday. We had tried to eat as Paleo as we could here and there but this is the first time I've really had my mind set to stick to it again. So I'm here to post our meals and watch the weight fall off.
