A Different Direction

I didn't realize that it had been so long since I posted an entry! This entry, however, is just to say that there will not be any more entries on this blog. My time and effort will be spent going in a different direction.

When I started this blog, it was in the hopes of engaging some specific people to keep me accountable. Now those people are part of a group on Facebook where we keep each other accountable on our journey together. Also, I have gone back to school and homework takes more time than I thought and I had to rearrange my thinking, as well as my schedule.

Part of this process brought me to a health and weight loss plan called the Paleo Diet. While I am not strictly Paleo, I have had great success (as long as I follow the plan). There are people who have often complained that eating healthy, especially this particular plan, is expensive and not realistic. I say, "hogwash". My husband and I don't earn much more than minimum wage, so if I can do it anybody can do it.

Discussing these particular points with different people over the last couple of days it was suggested that more people might be interested in exactly what I am doing and how I am doing it. One person actually told me I should write a book. I don't think I am ready to quite take on a project of that magnitude, but I do have some tricks up my sleeve. Add to that the fact that I have gone back to school. I am majoring in Nutritional Sciences and hopefully will be a Registered Dietician when I am done.

So all of that to say this: I am starting a new blog. "Healthy On A Budget" will begin soon. I will be sharing lots of things about the Paleo Diet and what works for those who might want to go strictly Paleo, but I also plan to include lots of things for others who just want to be healthy. One of my biggest challenges was how to incorporate more vegetables into my eating habits. So I will be sharing some of the recipes I found, some that I created. I will also be discussing exactly what my grocery budget is and how it gets spent. I still have a lot to learn, but I want to help people get on the right track sooner rather than later.

So I will try to share what I am learning as learn it. Please come follow me as I take a leap into this exciting new chapter in my life!
