Why?

So, the other day my cousin posed the question of why I had started the Paleo diet. Little did she know what a loaded question that was.

It's because of this.

Ok, so not just because of that. But that is a representation of my life. It's all good stuff, but it's chaos.

I also have chronic SI joint syndrome. Which means pain every day. And I have been receiving a variety of treatments for it, and all I can do now is wait and see if they will help. I just don't know. And there's nothing I can do about it. Even if it helps, there are many things I will never be able to do again without risk of putting myself right back where I started. And that doesn't help the chaos.

So, I am having to reinvent my life. I am going to take all of the stuff that drives me crazy or that I'm doing wrong or that I simply need to do differently, and fix it. There is SO much about my life that I already love, and this will make it that much better. And I believe it is about being obedient to God, and taking care of that which he has assigned to me. But it won't happen overnight. It is going to take months, maybe longer. And the Paleo diet is simply where I have chosen to start. I need more energy, and I need to lose weight, and I'm an all or nothing kind of gal. So Paleo it is. I don't plan to stay on it forever, but I do hope it will change how I eat long term.

This blog is a record of my journey to find peace through the chaos. This blog is all of my creativity, frustration, faith, ideas and photos all rolled into one.
