I think this is about Day 10...Paleo diet going well. Not hungry at all for most of the time. When I am hungry, there is usually less panic about food. My weight is down 5lbs. from a few weeks ago. I'm beginning to realize it's OK to be hungry especially on non-training days. After all, our ancestors went around hungry and made it. I made a joke to Renee though that if the Paleo diet is so great, then why did Paleo man die off.
Speaking of training, it's going well also. First few days out on the bike I bonked then I realized I needed a bit more carb so sweet potato cakes were introduced and they are the answer.
Something wonderful is happening. I am being serious. For the past year or so I've been developing this sense of love and compassion for humanity. That sounds like a really broad, general statement but it's true. I'm becoming more perceptive of others and more forgiving. I believe we're all doing the best with the hand we're given. I use these words because I don't know how else to describe this very subtle feeling. It's a swelling in the heart and a sense of well-being and contentment. Some days it borders on joy. Sure, I still get irritated with nuisances like drivers when they tailgate me or cut me off in traffic but overall, I am developing something here. Maybe my soul is expanding. I'm beginning to feel as though I'm finally a part of the human race. In the past, I've felt so aloof and misanthropic so this is strange for me. I can't exactly pinpoint when it began. I wonder if it's just part of the maturation process but I hope...
