A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you

| A Whole New World.... |
As mentioned super briefly - I have Quit Sugar.
In an Aladdin-esque type way, allow me to introduce you to my new way of life.
The Paleo Way.
A Paleo approach was recommended by my naturopath, and before you get all judgey let me stop you right there!
I am doing this for my health.
As a cupcake baker, this has been a significant shock to my system, but entirely necessary as I realised my high-stress, high-sugar lifestyle was making me sick.
Yes (on occasion) I will still bake cupcakes full of sugar and covered in delicious frosting.
BUT I am also exploring new healthier alternatives, and surprisingly there are many of exciting new recipes for me to try.
I don't want to go too much into the WHY I'm choosing to embark on this particular journey.. because, well it's exactly that - My choice.
But I do want to include this visual. Because I like the idea of getting all my ducks in a row.

It is time for me to take control of my life and I choose to do that by incorporating a Paleo diet and being more mindful of other aspects of my life including stress and sleep. Trust me - I have too much of one; and not enough of the other. It is time to find a balance.
As with all diets/lifestyles - there are varying degrees to which they can be applied. I am doing this my way.
This includes adopting a no wheat/grains/legumes/soy approach and also limits dairy.
oh... and that whole no sugar thing.
[Fruit doesn't count as a sugar. It is natural, therefore totally permitted.]
I have enjoyed researching other blogs on this topic and will reference these going forward.
I have also bought some new cookbooks including Sarah Wilson's 'I Quit Sugar' book (not specifically paleo, but very informative and a good starting point, I think).
Anyway - whether you're on board with me or not, THIS IS IT.
I came to a fork in the road and I'm going RIGHT. It's OK if you don't want to join me. It will be just like quitting sugar - I will miss you at first, but after a while I will feel stronger and the withdrawals will be gone.......
