I Don't Skinny Dip, I Chunky Dunk. - Paleo and P90x! - DANIELLERENEE85's Blue Wedding by Color Blog

After having a long talk with my fiance about how unhappy I am with the way I look and how hard it is to diet when I'm doing it by myself, he agreed to diet with me.

He use to train to be a bodybuilder and was on a diet that really leaned you out. After telling me about it, I realized it was JUST like the Paleo diet and was just clean healthy eating.

I tried the Paleo before and didn't stick with it (even after losing 7lbs in one week) because it was too hard to have to cook two meals everyday (one for me and one for Derrick since he works long hours). But now that he's doing this along with me, I'm going to make sure I stick with it.

In addition to the diet, I'm starting up P90x again. I did it for a couple weeks back in July and was loving the results, but because of some medical reasons I had to stop. So, I'm going to start again in addition to going to the gym 4x a week. I have already gone about 3 weeks without pop and fast food!

I'm determined to be happy with myself and get healthy not only for myself, but also for my friends and family.

Wish me luck!! I'll definitely keep you all up to day and may even take pictures of my progress!! =)

You can do it girl! Good luck!! :)

Your post title made me giggle btw

this sounds pretty interesting!!! Would love to hear how you do.. I have to lose about 10 lbs in order to fit into my dress :( They ordered the sample size that I tried on, not my actual size. So just short of putting a corset into my dress, I have to lose weight fast! Let me know how your doing! Good Luck

i want to start p90x but dont want to buy it its so expensive, I have a friend who was going to burn it for me but ive been waiting on that for weeks now.....

I need to do something, instead of saying that I'm going to start a diet at the begining of each month.....lol

@ginosgirl if you want to we can all start our diet work out things and keep up with each other it helps to have a support system.

WOW! Thanks everyone! I'm actually looking forward to starting this on Monday and all your encouragement will really help! I'll keep you all updated as much as possible!

makeupdiva- I have P90x on my laptop bc my fiances friend put it on a flashdrive for him and I just plug in our HDMI cord into the laptop and it plays on the tv. If I had a DVD burner, I would do it for you!

I'm all for the support system!

thanks!! im going to try to find someone else to burn it for me cause i need to start now i cant keep waiting for her to do it for me!!

You're welcome! I hope you get it soon.. if not, maybe I can figure something out to get it to you! Also, a few of us girls starting a facebook support group for dieting and weightloss if you want to join. The group is private, but if you want to join.. just add me on facebook and I'll add you to the group! =)

i think someone else mentioned that to me as well about the facebook page. Id be happy to join!

I love this!!! It is in fact one of the best ways to lose weight.

I had an issue that made me not be able to lose weight on any diet/exercise program. I was put on and ssri (ZOLOFT). So I gained 15 lbs.

P90x is amazing as well!!!

Going to join your fb group!! Need all the support I can get :)

You can add me on facebook by skipping down a couple posts and getting the link to my facebook or lampebride (she started the group) can send you an invite if you're friends with her on facebook!

Good for you!!!!! I'd like to try the paleo diet but I'm scared I'll fall off the bandwagon and fail! Maybe after Christmas - I need to (literally) get my butt in gear.

Yay! Go girl. I love Paleo, esp since I'm always experiementing with making cakes, treats and brownies with the ever-wonderous almond flour :) There is so much variety if you try.

I KNOW you can loose this weight, you've got an amazing plan of action!
