My day started with a dead car battery. On the most important day of my quarter at my job. In years past, I would have had a meltdown and been barely able to function. I’ve noticed since I transitioned out of the SAD to paleo that I seem to manage these moments with more grace. Is it less stressful? I doubt it. I think it is more that my mind and body are adapting better than they did before I changed my diet. I still have a lot of work to do in learning to recognize these moments and employ good coping strategies, but I’m happy with my progress. My lunch is a repeat of yesterday’s, which makes me so happy. Burger and bacon from home on top of a salad I grabbed from the cafeteria. And is there anything better than warm bacon grease on a salad? I don’t think so.
