About me

Introduction	Well hello there. I guess I'll tell you a little bit about me. I'm a 20 something (for another year at least!) newlywed Emergency Room nurse working in a busy Trauma Center. For my entire life I have battled weight issues, and, at my highest, I tipped the scales at 243.1 lbs when I graduated college in 2005. I turned to Weight Watchers later that year, and dropped approx 50 lbs, when I met my now husband. We love to be active, skiing, hiking, running, etc, but I've had a hard time dropping those last few (or 40) pounds to put me at a healthy weight. Topped with the fact that I can feel myself becoming more sedentary, and every so often can feel some depression sneaking up on me, I decided I needed a big change. In January of 2012 my husband started CF, and was immediately addicted. He's been doing great, is leaning up, and feels amazing. By the end of February 2012, he decided to "try that Paleo thing" everyone at CF had been talking about. With some research, I decided I could no longer continue to eat foods that were just going to make me feel worse. So, I decided to go ahead and give it a try myself, and also start in at CF too. So, this here is my (our) journey.
