Let's talk about The Notebook

I wont lie to you. I have had a headache for the last two days. Not pounding, but an annoying one. Pretty sure it’s because I am eating half as many carbs as I used to and my body has to adjust to it. Ouch. I am way less bloated though. I didn't even realize I was bloated, and now all my pants are looser. 

I have a funny story for you. Do you know what a kipping pull-up is? See how you push the chin and shoulders forward? I like to push them really forward so that I have more momentum and therefore it’s easier. I tried something new the other day. I tried letting go right as I was completely forward. Want to know what happens? You start flying, like a bird, and then you think of Rachel McAdams in the Notebook and how dreamy Ryan Gosling is. And then gravity slaps you in the face, literally. It’s super funny, and I like making people laugh so that’s why I did it.
 Okay, maybe you had to be there.

I went to went to Mad Greens yesterday. 
See that yellow thing right ^ there. 
That's corn. That's a grain. I fail. There's also cheese in there. I am going to allow myself some dairy every once in a while. I thought this was very informative on dairy. 

I am a culinary genius.  I put avocado on top of eggs on top of spinach. Yeah... I was over the sweet potato this morning. 
My grocery list is very different all of the sudden. I am hoping that once I build a base, this will start to be a little cheaper. 

I promised you I would make these. Paleo Fig Fudge balls :)))) they make you smile. And then you have to hide them from yourself because you can't stop eating them.  Good luck. 


Then I made this beauty for lunch. I have always said the reason I could never be a vegetarian is because of burgers. I LOVE burgers. This was delicious! I thought I would miss the bun more, but I didn't. I just seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and then cooked it on the stove in olive oil. YUM :).

Who I Would Be

I am sort of obsessed with Elizabeth Gilbert. I think we have similar souls (I think a lot of people feel that way about her). I read "Eat, Pray, Love" and "Committed," and I cannot wait for her new book, "The Signature of All Things," coming out in October. I think she's quite brilliant. However, my favorite quote ever from her is not out of one of her books; it is the response to a question someone asked on her Facebook page. They asked what advice she would give her younger self: "Dearest Younger Liz — I know you believe that romance is the most exciting and important thing on earth, but please lay off the boyfriend drama for a little while, would you? Learn to live alone. Learn to endure the sometimes agonizing unease of your own company—and work your way through that unease. Learn to comfort yourself. Learn to take accountability for yourself. Learn to recognize the difference between where you stop and another person begins. Learn to te

So I saw this quote on pinterest. Good old pinterest. I learn so much on there... like how to waste time. And how to make delicious desserts, like these. If you want the links just look on my pinterest page. I have some serious food porn on there. Anyways, I have been in this debate with myself about how much information is too much information? Do people actually want to know my reflections on life? The reason I read PaleOMG religiously is more so because of the honest writing than the recipes. I love the recipes, obviously, but it's why I choose to read that blog over any other blog. So anyways, I guess I am going to try to write about what I am inspired by. I have been reflecting a lot on paleo eating recently. It was my 1 month anniversary yesterday!  (of eating paleo that is). Here's the deal. If you asked me two weeks ago if I was going to stick with it, I would have told you in a super whiny voice, "I cannot freaking wait until this stupid experiment i

You know what sucks? Breaking up sucks. It's a well known fact. It makes me want to swear off men and become neutral (not gay, not lesbian, not straight). Yes, neutral. So then why do I do it over and over again anyways? Why do we all do it over and over and over again, even though when it ends it sucks the life out of you? Oh right, because of the high that comes from falling for someone. The comfort you find in being held. The joy you feel from having a best friend who wants to be with you, and only you. That's why we do it. And we hope that someday one relationship will last forever. I am reminding myself of this right now, because it would be easy to be neutral. But how joyous would it be? To miss the highs in order to avoid the lows. It would be a very boring and neutral life. No one wants that, so we keep hoping and trying, and one day maybe it will work out. Maybe it wont, but at least we got to experience what it feels like to feel for another. And feeling, whether it
