“May the odds ever be in your favor!”

Yes, I just got back from a matinee screening of The Hunger Games. It’s good. I think you’ll like it (assuming you didn’t already watch a midnight screening last night). If you’re standing in line, perhaps you can check out these blog entries on your phone. I was able to write a few this week, and REALLY enjoyed some entries by other authors. As I’ve done in the past few weeks, Paleo update is at the end.

Paleo Update
So I’ve been doing the Paleo diet for over four weeks now and I’m down about 10 lbs from where I first started. I’m still doing pretty well, although I will admit I had some minor cheats last weekend–noodles on a flight and a piece of toast while at brunch with my fiancé. Other than that, I’m sticking to it. I still have cravings here and there, but overall, I feel great.

My struggle still lies with the other half. I’ve been bad about going to the gym, and while I did cancel my TV at home, I still spend too much time on the internet reading articles or checking facebook updates. I’m better than I was a month ago, but I’m still not where I’d really like to be.

Still, I think this past month has been a step in the right direction. I have about two more weeks to go of my initial challenge, but I think I’m going to continue many of the habits after my 40 days is up.
