Failure! Or, a change of plans

I have been struggling with this diet lately for many reasons. This time around I'm just not really feeling it. I had read a post on FB about a friend of mine doing a paleo 30 diet and I thought I might give that a try. It mostly incorporates healthy eating instead of starvation diets and the like. It has been hard for me because I am a snacker and I can't do that if I am trying to go paleo. I should have more veggies on which to snack but then I want dressing to go on top of it. This morning I weighed in at the same as yesterday. Which, in itself, is practically a miracle. I am foregoing the HCG stuff for now because I'm going to try to do it without any "help aids." I am just going to do paleo and IF and hope for the best. What I really need is a change of lifestyle from one of convenience to one of healthy eating. I used to be that way until the Hubbs started picking out the veggies from the dinners I made. Now things are a little too simple. I need to get back to basics and start cooking again. I need to find the energy because right now I don't have it.

Today I had sugar snap peas with garlic and red pepper flakes for breakfast. A lot of them. Then I went on a walk today with my neighbor and we pushed our strollers uphills for about an hour and a half. Lunch was a chicken salad with a sweet mustard dressing. I have been snacking on freeze dried apples all day. It says I'm not supposed to eat any fruits that are dried but I am assuming that is because regularly dried fruits tend to have sugar added. These did not. So we'll see tomorrow. Dinner came in between running the kiddos around all night and consisted of a grapefruit and then later because I was starving, 3 fried eggs. Mix that in with some very bad for me deli meat and that makes up my day. I am actually still hungry but too tired to cook anything as it is almost 10 pm as I write this. Tomorrow I will be catching up on the water I didn't drink enough of today as I do a fast day. I am hoping that the combination of these two ways of thinking will be what I need. Fasting, to help me eat less, and paleo to help me eat healthy. I hope this works out because I'm tired of being fat and tired.
