Paleo on Trial

So it's January which means resolution time.  Our family decided to make a life style change instead of going on a diet.  We are going to try Paleo.  If you want to learn more about Paleo eating you can just Google it and find loads of web pages about what to do.  In a nut shell we are eating lean meat, veggies (excluding potatoes and corn), fruits and nuts.  Everything else is out.  I am letting the kids have peanut butter, sandwiches, frozen waffles, tortillas and cheese.  I couldn't put them through to much of a shock!  I'm really excited about this life style change.  I hope to feel healthier, stronger and have more energy.  I also wouldn't mind losing a few pounds while I'm at it :)  I'll keep you updated on recipes and weight loss (if it happens).  Even though I am totally embarrassed I'm going to share some of my before pictures.  Last year I did a weight loss challenge at the gym.  I had to take pictures in just my bra and underwear.  Totally embarrassing! I almost didn't want to win the challenge because the person who did got there pictures posted for the whole world to see.  So here are a few of my before pictures with my clothes on (not near as embarrassing):
