Getting Started

I created this blog to basically serve as an online food journal/venting outlet.... therefore, if I already lost you feel free to graze on to another blog.  Well, to begin in the generally accepted fashion, let me tell you a little about myself (or at least the pertinent things):

1. I love food.  I eat paleo and my main issue is I love to eat way too much for my 5'5" frame.  This leads into why I created this blog: to keep myself accountable.  I figured journaling is great but an online journal is one I can take anywhere and with the possibility of others witnessing my gluttony maybe I'll actually stick to it.

2. I eat paleo and I love cooking. (Duh, paleo spoon).  I'm pretty good at it too, which leads back to my issues with #1 but the good news is I'm starting to get paid for what I do- paid to cook= fun!

3. I do Crossfit out of a local gym started with some friends about 2 years ago.  I've seen it grow from the ground up and I love what we do there.  Crossfit is a killer workout and keeps me in shape (even when I eat 1/2 a jar of almond butter in one sitting...booo).

4. I'm a nurse.  I just graduated with my BSN in December and have been working in the medical ICU at a local hospital where I live.  Yesterday was my first night off orientation, and I survived- yay!

So, I promise not to just food journal but also to throw in some of my own pictures/recipes as well as direct you to some awesome paleo sites from some of my favs.  Also, you get to hear all my humiliating stories about when I biff this big time and end up eating far too much! If nothing else this blog may be a confidence booster for you!

So to start this off, if you don't know what this "Paleo" jazz is all about check it out here: http://robbwolf.com/what-is-the-paleo-diet/
I do a lot of education and presentations at the gym on Paleo but Robb Wolf knows his stuff.  You can also just google Paleo and find a ton of info... come on, come join the cool kids, get on the bandwagon and try something good for you! Alright now that this is out of the way, more slightly more interesting posts to come later.
