My First Paleo-rrific Week


I started the week last Wednesday by making seven sweet potatoes in my slow cooker. I also made a scrumptious paleo friendly, crustless, bacon-broccoli-spinach-shallot quiche. Recipe? Soon.

I happily ate the quiche and a cup of black coffee every morning while watching the Today Show. I ate the sweet potatoes, along with a protein and veg for lunch or dinner throughout the week and I felt…good. Fulfilled. Literally and figuratively. It feels good to put wholesome, healthy food into your body. I also never found myself hungry. Not once.

The largest hurdle, by far, is sugar.


Hi, my name is Kaleigh Griffin and I am a sugar addict. The cravings were overwhelming. Never in my life have I felt so helpless. I definitely caved to the cravings more than once but I’m trying. I’m desperately trying and that is what is important. 80/20, right? What about 60/40? No? Okay, I’ll do better this week, promise.
