And it has begun - 48 days to go

I started Paleo on Sunday.  Did some healthy food shopping and stuck to the outside aisles.  I have been eating 98 clean foods with some minor condiment sides that aren't strict.  I haven't had any fruit, sugar, or grains which is my main goal right now.  As a result I am down 6 lbs.

I am dehydrated tho.  I started adding salt to my meals for some sodium and I am moving from turkey bacon to real bacon on Friday.  That should inject some salt into me.  I am also looking for any suggestions from my box and our nutrition guy Matt is looking at some hydrating drinks for me.  My own research is going to look for veggies with high water content.  I am hoping this hydration issue is just temporary and I will solve it going forward.

I have started sleeping in the dark, no TV.  It is amazing how much better you sleep.  I need to do that all the time.  Once the dog isn't sick anymore i am hoping for some nice uninterrupted sleep.

Meatloaf is on the menu tonight.  I am making mine with almond meal instead of delicious bread crumbs.  I'll make that for the wife and kids.  I plan to take some tomato paste and mix it with water over heat and add salt for some a homemade glaze.

Keep plugging away, summer is around the corner and my abs haven't seen the sun for 25+ years.
