SnoWhite Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Hi there, My name is Emily and I'm a nursing student from Detroit, Michigan. On September 1st, I started going 100% Paleo. This was after research and much inspiration from Nerd Fitness. I decided to start making changes because I am too young to have health issues (migraines-mainly) and, of course, I want to look and feel healthy! The same day I started Paleo (aka went cold turkey from all grains, dairy, sugars, starches) I also started the Beginner's body weight workout. It has been two days and I have not been able to move a muscle, I am so sore! I can't believe how out of shape I was. I'm don't normally feel this sore and out of it after a workout, so I'm wondering if it is part of the "low carb flu" that I've read about? (you know, when you stop eating carbs and your body gets angry at you for a week?) If anyone knows much about this or any tips regarding Paleo or beginning workouts, please feel free to share! My reward after a trial of Paleo is my 21st birthday on September 27th! I have waited 21 years to have my first alcoholic beverage and I'm pretty excited for that to happen. I imagine there will be a nice dinner somewhere in there. I have a feeling these diet and exercise changes are really going to turn my life around. I'm hoping that in the next 15-20 years I'll be a bride or maybe even a mom. I think now is a great time to start working on myself so that I can be healthy for my future. I can't wait. I look forward to getting to know some of you and supporting each other towards our goals. May the odds be ever in your favor, Emily Quote Link to comment
