Double Agent?

Hello  

 

I found Nerd Fitness about three days ago and I was hooked! 

 

Sadly, I came to the realization that I work for the Empire (in this case, Starbucks)

 

My personal rebellion started about a month ago when I stopped drinking anything at work that wasn't water. My biggest challenge has always been food--not only the way I eat, but the amount as well.

 

So far my first goal is to transition to fully paleo by the end of May. I'm a little worried because my roommate has a tendency to eat nothing but fast food for weeks on end. I haven't told him about my choice to join the Rebellion. I'm not sure he would really understand. 

 

It's going to be a little bit of an uphill battle, but the Empire will not win!

Good luck on meeting your goal of being fully paleo by the end of may. I bet it gets hard to not drink anything at Starbucks.

Starbucks has always been my weakness, actually. Breakfast on the run and super convenient. Thankfully now I am drinking smoothies on my way to work.

Thanks for the support!

 

As a girl who would drink extra caramel caramel macchiatos, I have a ridiculous sweet tooth. I find that subbing out that artificial sweetness with fruit is a much better alternative lol.

Good luck on your goals, and welcome aboard!

 

I have to agree, it must get difficult working at a Starbucks - I've been mostly Paleo for a while, and even I have the occasional lapse when it comes to their old-fashioned doughnuts or the macchiatos...

Oh donuts!

I agree, cammi- fruit does satisfy the sweet tooth pretty well, especially when you stop eating a lot if foods that contain high fructose corn syrup.

It's awesome. Keep on kicking butt!

Tarmac--I work in a really slow store, too, so all day the pastries are literally staring at me. Plus, it is a common practice to simply mark-out a pastry that we have extra of and eat it in the back. My goals when it comes to work are no junk food. There are some healthy options there, but not many.

 

rogaecia--In the past few days I've tried to eat as close to paleo as I can (with the exception of a couple of sips of soda the other day). I'm still trying to work through (aka eat lol) the food I bought literally a few hours before discovering Nerd Fitness. A lot of canned stuff and carbs.... I love carbs  :-/

Cammi, I work at Starbucks too, and it's DEFINITELY a hindrance to eating healthy. Free drinks and markouts are so tempting!

I drink a lot of unsweetened passion tea.
