Getting Ready!!

Well I have decided to make some serious changes in my life.  After My son was born I worked my butt off for 2 years to lose the 80lbs I gained with him.  I lost it thru a vegan lifestyle with a lot of excercise.  When I got pregnant again , with my daughter, I gained70 lbs with her.  This is my journey once again to lose all my baby weight and then get down to a helthy weight.  After careful research Ive decided to try something different this time.  Im going Primal.  The Primal Blueprint that is.  Its a diet based on our 10,000 yr old ancestors diet and the theory that our genetic structure really hasnt changed through the years therefore for optimal health we need to eat like our great ancestors.  This means meat, veggies, nuts, seeds, and some fruit.  Very few grains.  Essentially its a low carb diet.  If you want more info you should check out Marksdailyapple.com  it has everything you could posssibly need.  Anyways I made my meal plan for the week, went shopping, started to prep my food, and I start tomorrow!  My basic plan is a green smoothie in the mornings which is 2 cups greens, 1 cup of different fruits, 1tsp cocunut oil, 1tsp chia seeds, and 1tsp flax seeds.  Lunches will be mason jar salads.  I have a shrimp salad with mango and avocado and a cilantro dressing, a tuna salad and a couple chicken salads.  Ill get some recipies and pics up soon!  Dinners very and snacks are almonds, fruit, pumpkin or sunflower seeds, or celery with almond butter.  Im very excited and cant wait to get started tomorrow!!
