Growing up, my brother had the opposite problem that I did. He was a skinny string bean, could eat whatever he wanted, and never gained a pound. After college, he started working out all the time, got a personal trainer, and really looks great. I can tell he's happier and is more confident with himself.
I, on the other hand, could eat whatever he ate, and still be ridiculously over weight. A few weeks ago, I went up to visit him to participate in a craft show. There, I met his trainer, who has been helping him bulk up. A couple of days ago, Adam, his trainer, offered to do nutritional counseling with me. Why not? I've tried just about everything else, so I thought I'd give this a shot. So I signed up, paid him, and the next thing I know, I've got an e-mail about the Paleo Diet waiting for me. Basically, no more grains, dairy, or gluten. This is going to be interesting, giving up all that stuff. I have been searching for recipes, stocked up on fruits & veggies, and I feel like I have been doing very well so far! I had a "cheat" day yesterday as it was my friend's bachelorette party, and we at at our favorite Cajun restaurant. And honestly, who can pass up hush puppies?! I made an
Enchilada Bake for dinner tonight, and it was pretty tasty, so there's lunch for the next few days!

As mentioned earlier, it was one of my best friend's bachelorette parties this weekend! I was absolutely in love with my dress, and had so much fun with all of the girls! We had a group of about 25 ladies, all in little black dresses!
