Woo! It’s finally Friday!
This week was actually pretty low key for me, but I’m always happy when the weekend rolls around. A little rest and relaxation is always appreciated.
I’m still messing around with my new sleep app. I think my energy levels on a certain day are dependent on my quality of sleep from the previous night. I feel great today. I have plenty of energy and I feel ready to take on the world.
Sleep cycles from 5/16-5/17
On the other hand, I felt tired and run down yesterday. I went to bed at my normal time, but the quality of sleep just wasn’t there.

I still want to play around with it a little bit more, but I think I’m on to something here.
As most of you know, I eat mostly Paleo. I’d say my diet is in the 90/10 range. There are a few things that I just don’t see the need to give up. Plus, I don’t think I can.
I still eat small amounts of high quality dairy, like organic Greek yogurt and raw cheese. I still eat hummus and peanut butter is my favorite food. I’m not perfect, but I feel fine eating these foods.
I’ve noticed that I feel the best when I eliminate grains, added sugars, and those funky ingredients you find in “health” foods (like carrageenan). I still consume honey and maple syrup, but on a limited basis.
I made some waffles this morning and they were just screaming for a little sweetness. Recipe coming sometime next week!
I do my best to enjoy the food that I eat, but to have it nourish my body at the same time. I feel my best eating mostly Paleo, so I will roll with it until it doesn’t work anymore. I also try not to over think things. If I’m out at dinner and I want something with grains, I’ll go for it. Life is all about balance and I do the best that I can each and every day to make sure I’m happy and healthy at the same time.
Well that was a ramble. I meant to write about how living more of a Paleo lifestyle is about more than just what I eat, but I’ll save that for another post.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
