Why I'm here!

I am writing this blog to track my adventure towards becoming a more healthy person. I am have working out at the gym for a month and a half now and have seen improvements in both strength and muscle mass, but I have not seen any fat go away. My sister and her husband started the Whole 30 challenge. This is a plan that changes the way that you eat. It cuts out all processed food and makes you eat only things that you could possibly hunt or gather (caveman's diet). My girlfriend and I decided that we both needed to become more fit and we wanted to try out this eating format. We are doing the Paleo Diet, which is like the Whole 30 but is less strict. This blog is gonna tell you about my progress, what I eat, and what difficulties I have along the way.
