Perfectly Paleo: Life changing time

This year has been different for me, since the moment I decided to challenge the lethargy that seems to have become deep rooted within me over the last couple of years.  From the day I changed my way of eating to Paleo, the year has simply continued to improve.

It feels like my eyes are wide open and the world has a different kind of glimmer to it.

At the ripe old age of 36, I feel more like me, and more comfortable being me, than ever before.  I have direction, a goal, and I am starting to dream again.

And I passionately believe that this is down to diet.

Note, I am say diet, not dieting.

I ran this morning, it was just me and the dog, out in the woods, where bluebells were carpeting the soil, creating a heavenly sensation.  The sun shone down through the thick of the trees and warmed my cheeks as I jogged through the mud of the day before.

And then I stopped, just for a moment, to reflect on what was around me.

It was beautiful, and needed to be savored for a moment.

I felt as the forest looked – calm and thriving.  Inside I feel clean, like I am finally treating my body as it really needs to be.

I ran again, loving the feeling of my legs hitting the floor in rhythmic motion, feeling my arms fly wide sensing nature all around.

I am not normally spiritual.

But, we only get one life, we only get one body.  For the last few years I feel I have abused my own skin by flooding it with crap, and in doing so, I have not enjoyed life to the fullest.

Now it feels like I can do anything, be anyone, all I have to do is believe that I can.

The change continues,

It is time to seize the day.

Perfection with Paleo

    This post is beautiful. I am so pleased you have found a place that makes you happy and you are so positive about the journey forward. You look amazing but it’s not about looks it’s about feeling good and being in the right place.
    Much love, your knackered friend stuffing chocolate.

    I’m so glad you’re feeling better Jane. I’m not doing so well with Paleo myself! I am REALLY missing grains, but you have to start somewhere right??? x

    Good for you Jane. You are very inspiring. I am gradually edging my way up to allowing myself to be inspired enough to make some positive changes and maybe even *gulp* embrace paleo. Or at least just get out and walk the dog more often. That would be a start. x

    All sounding so great, very inspiring not sure I could go the whole hog (pardon the pun!) but reading this perhaps need to re-adjust what is already a pretty healthy diet anyway but with maybe too many treats!

    Really pleased to read this post, Jane. I’ve started exercising and trying to be more Paleo with my diet and I have SO much more energy. It’s hit me that I turn 40 in less than 6 months and I’ve been neglecting my body lately. I’m also a lot less snappy when the kids are playing me up!

    Welcome to the Church of Clean Eating. You are whole, you are pure, you are WONDERFUL. Not every day feels like this, there are so many times when the cookie jar is calling you but you’re primed with 100% the right attitude. It’s absolutely a lifestyle and not a diet – unless you’re using the word diet as the Ancient Greeks did. As you know, I’m CrossFit’s biggest fan but being out in the open, moving as our bodies were intended to move is incredible. I did a 6 mile shoot up and shoot back down a mini Welsh mountain at the weekend. It was so, so liberating. Stay awesome chica. Big love xxx

    What a lovely heartwarming post. And good on you for making a diet change to suit your body, and sticking to it. That’s a really difficult thing to do.

    I personally could never do any kind of diet coz I love all my carbs and dairy as much as I love meat. But I feel better when I remember to take omegas, when I drink smoothies and when I cut out caffeine and alcohol.
