Reset on Life

Two years ago I had started this blog as a dedicated place to post about my fight with the C25K program. I wanted so badly to be healthy and to push my body in the right direction. But looking back it seems- I didn't want it badly enough. I can't recall now why I walked away, why I gave up, what changed my mind ... I just look back in disappointment. I can only hope that something unavoidable in my life can help push me in the right direction and once I've jumped a couple hurdles, back onto the C25K program.

For now there is a more painful irritation at hand. Through long bouts of IBS, misdiagnoses, a constantly growing body and a desperate need to change, I've finally realized something. 

I cannot eat grain. 

I'm going to use my blog now. To help me keep track of where I stand with this problem. I'm changing my diet, I'm adding in exercise. Everything slow but sure. I'm going to use this to my advantage. I always said I needed a kick in the ass. If finally figuring out that most of the food you put in your mouth is poison- isn't a swift boot, I don't know what is. 

I've set up some goals for myself. I'm trying to be realistic with each one. Knowing that it took me 26 years to become this unhealthy, and I won't become a vision of health over night. 

My Goals : 

- Eat without pain
- Implement a Paleo lifestyle for all of us (my family) 
- Give myself the tools to live a long and healthy life
- Help my children and husband to eat and exercise properly, giving them the tools to live a long and   healthy life
- Be able to run a 5K by the time I'm 30
- Have a healthy body weight within 2 years

I've got some books in hand. I've got the knowledge at my fingertips. Here is where it all turns around.
