It means a lot to me, really. I struggled with stopping a few days short, but realized the only reason I was going to continue was a pride issue. I knew that 4-5 more days was not going to make a difference in how I felt. <br /><br />Thank you for explaining what you are doing too! I am pretty sure I remember you struggling with fibromyalgia, and I have just begun to wonder if I may have that, so I'm excited to hear about what you are doing and how much it has helped you. <br /><br />You are so sweet to comment with encouraging words, and I REALLY appreciate it! <br /><br />Much love and congrats to you!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05928476378189551633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091135145879650267.post-22138015630585284272012-02-02T20:56:29.057-05:002012-02-02T20:56:29.057-05:00I have not commented your entire (25) day journey ...I have not commented your entire (25) day journey of this, but have been a decently faithful follower of it. ;) <br /><br />I like everything I read about this "Paleo" diet except the dairy and how they (seemingly) primarily get their protein. In my family, we make no absolutes, no calling ourselves by any "name." We feel that serves only to be apart of a "fad" and to distance others from us that aren't "like" us. (I refuse to be that person that goes to a friend's home who has lovingly prepared food for us and respond with, "Umm, we don't eat that." LOL <br /><br />Anyways, my point is that we have found the differences that you explain that you're looking for in your "PALEO" tab above by following a very loose version of THRIVE (which is vegan, but we're not). We RARELY have dairy, instead we use alternatives like coconut and almond milk products that are SO good for you. And we've MOSTLY cut out all beef, pork, and even chicken, and even still have reduced our fish intake. We make sure that we are indeed getting "complete proteins" everyday from a combination of alternative-to-wheat grains, lentils, legumes, nuts, seeds, etc, and a TON of FRESH produce like fibrous veggies (light on the starchy ones) and FRUIT. <br /><br />I was aching every live long day in my body before this {and bodyrock.tv}, nor sleeping well. Just over a month into this health change my entire family has more energy, is sleeping better, and Aaron and I have lost weight (he's at 17 lbs so far and I've hit 12 as of today! - keep in mind that we've also been working out 3-5 days a week too). But my low back where my number 3 vertebra has been super inflamed for years has eased down a SURPRISING amount. That makes me VERY happy. :)<br /><br />I'm super proud of you, my friend, for going at this journey so strong and determined. You have done a GREAT job and you're right, excellent for growing self-discipline. :) <br /><br />LOVE YOU!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06965423836248037559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091135145879650267.post-2001462224367504522012-02-02T19:53:42.007-05:002012-02-02T19:53:42.007-05:00Don't worry, I'm being careful! I wonder i...Don't worry, I'm being careful! I wonder if I really will have a big adjustment, since I had virtually none when I stopped all of it. Should be interesting! :)Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05928476378189551633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091135145879650267.post-86545007353801268292012-02-02T14:00:10.038-05:002012-02-02T14:00:10.038-05:00I'm sad!

It's definitely a huge adjustment, and the last week was the BEST for me, so I hate for you to miss out on what might have been to come!! :( But you have to do what is right for you, and I respect that. So proud of you for doing what you did!! Much love, JennieJennie Harrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06207020060237349611noreply@blogger.com
