Where was I?

So this whole writing thing is new to me.  I feel a little lost when I try to go back and pick up where my thought process had left off.  I had meant to continue the "Day 4" post but got distracted and I've completely lost the train of thought on it. So I'll just start again.

It's Monday and it sucks.  I didn't do anything toward my fitness goal over the weekend.  I want to walk tonight, but it's my turn to cook and I'm not sure if I'll have time.  We always tend to eat late anyway, so I need to try and prevent that. 

I feel completely bombarded by "dieting techniques."  The Paleo plan seems to make sense to me, but it's very strict.  You basically cut out all refined grains, including flours, rice, corn, anything that the caveman didn't have at the end of the Paleolithic period.  Oh yeah, and let's not forget about no dairy.  The theory is that is when our digestive system stopped evolving and that the reason we're fat is because we simply haven't developed the tools to digest and process these over-processed foods adequately.  I kinda buy it, but I'm not drinking all the kool-aid.  I understand that the caveman might not have been that intelligent, but pretty sure if he ate cow, he probably drank the milk too.  Who knows though, maybe I'm the stupid one. 

But I love milk!  And cheese!  And cheese!  I've been contemplating trying the soy milk to see if I could replace my beloved cow milk.  That would be a very hard commitment for me, to cut out all dairy.  Then I remembered that a friend had to cut out all cow dairy as she was allergic.  And I saw the pounds literally fall off her.  Not that she was big to begin with, but i saw a noted weight loss happen.  Hmm...

And again, I struggle with this damn water bottle staring at me.  I've made it through one full one and I'm still thirsty, so I guess it's on to number two. 

ugh
