Getting Back on Track -- and Asking for Help!

Alright, so I've tried primal. I liked what it did for me, but it is a little too restrictive. What I really need to do is to get back to eating a real food diet, like I did when I first started my journey into WAPF-guided eating, and when I did Jenny's Real Food Challenge. Now, next week, I'm traveling for work, so I won't have as much control over what I eat. Yes, I'll try to make real food choices, and I'm bringing a fair amount of provisions (dried blueberries, nuts, and canned salt-free wild salmon) because I know that breakfast will be coffee and pastries.

But starting June 1st, I'm starting my own, personal Real Food Challenge. Nourishing foods and traditional preparations. If my husband can spend the weekend making a loaf of bread for his sandwiches for the week, I can, too. I can resist the constant cookies and junk at work. I've done it before.

But it would be nice not to have to do it alone. I've discovered this wonderful community of food bloggers over the last few months since Jenny's challenge, and I've come to appreciate all the support and respect in the community. It would be wonderful to have friends cheering me on, watching for desperate Tweets to the effect of "Oh crap, it's 2pm and I'm about to eat a packaged cookie!" Anyone want to join my cheering squad?

Eh, they advocate lean meat and egg whites -- all the important nutrition in an egg is in the yolk (including almost half the protein)! But I'm totally down with whole grains and lots of veggies. Thanks.
