Paleo Diet

Feels a bit weird writing about this
Two reasons
I've never thought of myself as someone who shares their diets and healthy eating as i am NEVER consistent with them and i haven't found the topic very interesting in the past.
and
My mother asked me to write updates on how this diet is going so she can use it for her naturopath clinic to inspire other teens (which completely scared me hence why i'm writing it on here and not some word document which she will most likely print out).

I guess I should sort of thank her though, if she had never mentioned the idea i most likely would not be writing about this.
Anyway, i'm trying out the Paleo Diet, if you haven't heard of it (which wouldn't be surprising) it is a nutrition diet where you avoid main foods such as wheat, starch, rice, sugar, dairy and much more.
Yes it is one of those diets where you question what you are actually going to eat for meals.
Thankfully, as i mentioned before, my mother is a naturopath - or nutritionist as i commonly call it so people know what the fuck i'm talking about. So she's been helping me with meals and snacks so that i don't starve because after all this is the paleo diet not the starvation diet.

Might be a good idea to mention why i'm doing this diet. The Paleo diet is probably one of the most biggest trending diets around the world, geez i make it sound like a video gone viral but yeah it's quite well known. People do it for weight, general health, prevention of cancer and skin. For me, it's general health but mostly skin. It has come to my attention that some of the foods i eat really effect my skin and i had to hit rock bottom to realise that and actually take some action.
At the back of my mind i've always sort of known why my skin is not as clear as others (said that in the nicest way possible) but the thought of never enjoying another custard pie again was too overwhelming so i never did anything about it. So far i have already noticed a difference in my skin from being on the diet for just five days - which is pretty amazing to me.
Yes, going out with friends and taking part in fun events is slightly harder when there is absolutely nothing you can eat outside your home fridge but if it means my skin is even slightly better than it was, it's worth it.

Anyway I thought i would just talk about that today as it's one of the main things going on.
I'm finally on holidays! I feel so much more relaxed
Onto new girl woo
Love always xxxx

Coming up

I feel like so much is happening at the moment yet nothing is happening at all.
At the moment, it's a tuesday and i'm home from school because i felt slightly sick this morning and i feel like everyone should have a day off once in awhile (much to my dad's disgust). So far today I have watched two episodes of new girl, bet my high score on Crossy Road and cleaned up my cats vomit. You could say i'm living life on the edge.
Anyway, although I feel as though I'm waiting for my life to get interesting and for things to happen, a lot is happening, maybe not right now as i sit at my desk in my pajamas, but in general!

I just finished my end of year exams which i did surprisingly well in considering I moved schools half way through the year and didn't study a whole lot.
I'm about to hand in my last graphics assignment of the year which included 28 pages of solid hard work, sweat and tears. Well not really- just trying to make the process sound a bit more difficult although I did spend a whole Sunday slaving away at multiple pages of A3 paper (with occasional tea and New Girl breaks of course).
I have a bit over a week of school till the end-of-year holidays start, which i can't wait for judging by the fact i stayed at home instead of pushing through the last few days of school. I'm determined to make these holidays count by taking opportunities, meeting new people, trying new things and going crazy - which shouldn't be too difficult for me.
Speaking of which, my best friend is moving back from Sydney to live here and I am soo incredibly excited! Yes, it's "easier to stay in touch with people overseas nowadays" as my mum says but a skype call from time to time is not enough considering we used to spend most days together IN PERSON. So yes, I am looking forward to that a lot.
Sadly the opposite is also happening and my good friend is moving to America to live, weird scenario and I am very unhappy about it but i suppose i should be grateful that both of them aren't going to be living in separate countries to me.
Obviously it is december - and i realised  i probably should of made this post yesterday as it was the 1st but i was far too busy doing last minute touches on my assignment. Anywho, december holds a very exciting day which makes spending large amounts of my baby sitting money worth it. The anticipation for christmas is killinggg me! I can't wait to hang with the fam, watch them open my presents (I know many people hate being watched but i'm always so eager to find out if they like it - oops), open presents of my own and of course, eat. The food at christmas is ALWAYS the best from mum's home made chicken to cheese cake. That sounded very CHEESY. (ntp - sorry that was terrible hahaha)
Many birthdays are coming up too, including mine, my best friend's, my cousin's (JOSHY) and my sister! Not too sure if i'm going to have a birthday party this year, recently it's come to my attention that i prefer spending time with my family far more than girls my age (unless it's Sarah). I'm thinking of writing a rant - i mean vent - about this actually because i don't think i have quite let out my frustration towards conversation and gossip which is the most common way teenage girls communicate and bond.
Sorry about the tangent - anyway, I'm thinking of spending my birthday at the beach with a couple of friends or having a lunch with my family (I'm still making my mind up about it though)
Shit, almost skipped one of the best things to come! NEW YEARS! I have to admit, New Years hasn't always been a day of the year I've been passionate about, when i was younger the fire works were about as much excitement as it got. But since new years last/this year(?), i've realised what an amazing time it is, I mean it's literally flipping onto another year, am i the only one that this completely stuns? Probably. The point it I'm really excited to spend it at my best friend's batch and celebrate the momentous day with her, yet again! If it's anything like last year when we lay on the beach listening to Coldplay and looking up at the stars, i'm sure i will more than enjoy it.
Although all these things sound completely amazing, there's one thing which I can't get off my mind, and thats Piha. At the beginning of the year, the days i spent there had to be some of the best in my life. I think it was a mix of the weather, people, beach and food which made every day better than the last - so you might be able to understand my excitement.

So i figured it was about time I let all that anticipation out (of course i still think of the days that are yet to come 24/7 but I think it's good to talk about it so that I don't annoy everyone with my constant comments of christmas and new years although I reckon they should be just as excited as i am). Plus it's a bit hard to bond over the excitement of it all as my friend which i spend most of my time with doesn't celebrate christmas (I know).
If you read all of this, well done - it probably shows you are just as excited as I am.
My cat keeps twitching so i guess I should end this massive essay here.

Love always xxxxx
