This past weekend, I made the choice to fall off the Paleo bandwagon. I take full responsibility for the fact that I fought a battle with myself over eating the ice cream on Saturday (10/13) and allowed my cravings to overpower my will. Today, I chose to have spaghetti and a donut as well.

Needless to say, after 13 successful days of Paleo/Whole30, I feel like utter crap. It's been a long time since I've been so bloated. I liked how I felt, especially in the past week, and want to return to that state of being.

That just motivates me even more to re-set the 30 day quest as of tomorrow, 10/15. That will take me to 11/15, just 2 days before I leave for Barcelona & Rome. Yes, I take the off-season travel to the extreme; it'll be chilly, but no lines at the Segrada Familia or St. Peter's Basilica.
