Introductions

Hello there and welcome! This is going to be a new adventure for my family and myself and I am excited to share this journey and see how it unfolds.  I am a wife, mother of 2 (2 year old and almost 6 month old), I work in the Corporate world and also recently started up my own small business on the side.  My family means everything to me and I want us all to live a long and healthy life.  With two young ones, time is always very limited and it seems like our energy levels are just on a decline.  After going through two pregnancies I amazed myself by being able to quickly lose the weight and get back to my pre- pregnancy size.  For some reason though I am now slowly starting to see myself put on some of the weight and just feeling constantly tired and gross.  My husband has expressed his own concern and dissatisfaction with himself and his personal weight gain since we've been married.  So here we are, it is time to do something and make a move for ourselves and the betterment of our family and our lifestyle.

Two of our good friends came to visit us during the holidays who have been Paleo followers for almost the past 2 years.  They look amazing and told us what a difference they feel- including health issues that were once there but are no longer.  Our interest was definitely peaked and we immediately began doing research on this Paleo lifestyle.  So...that brings me to where we are now, right here, today.  Our adventure is going to begin tomorrow with day 1 of the Whole30 Program and then into our new lifestyle- yes lifestyle because in order for any "diet" to truly be successful long term it has to become a lifestyle change.

My goal is to use this blog as a way to write about the journey for myself and family.  I want to be honest and open about what we go through.  I hope that anybody who comes across this blog finds it helpful and maybe even inspiring.  After all, we are just a normal couple trying to create a happy and healthy lifestyle.  I hope you enjoy and I know I can honestly say that I can't wait to begin!
