My best friend and I after homecoming. I'm on the right

Lunch: fried egg over tomato, bell pepper, avocado, onion and cilantro with peach sprinkled with cinnamon

Now I understand why we don’t have power. Northeast Ohio has gotten a lot of rain.

As previously mentioned, I recently took a break from eating paleo for 5 ish weeks. This break made me realize some things about the paleo lifestyle. First, the paleo/primal lifestyle is not easy when first starting. It’s not easy to find time or money for paleo meals. It’s not easy (at first) to turn down non-paleo food. It’s not easy to find time for slow cardio or 8 hours of sleep. Don’t feel discouraged if you mess up. Don’t feel discouraged if you can’t or won’t do everything 100%. I never do paleo 100% correct. Second, the small price to pay for living a paleo lifestyle is worth it. You might have to sacrifice TV time to get a walk in or wake up earlier to make breakfast, but the end result is worth it. I have more energy, more mental clarity, and generally better health while eating paleo. Lastly, I love eating paleo and plan to continue doing so to the best of my ability for the rest of my life. Even if a genuine scientific study was published saying our Paleo ancestors ran a marathon every morning, sat on their butts the rest of the day, slept 3 hours a night, ate nothing but grains, and drank milk straight from the udders of cows, I would continue living paleo. A study/finding of that sort would only debunk calling the lifestyle paleo. It would not debunk the fact that living this way makes me and many other people feel great.

Dinner: roasted cauliflower, tomatoes, and garlic with spinach, mushrooms, onion, and Italian sausage (seasoned with garlic powder, thyme, oregano, and basil).
