What's the plan?

I've come to the conclusion that I have to make changes... I have to loose weight... I have to be healthier.  So, what's the plan to achieve this?

Recently I've been devouring books, blogs and the like about living a "Paleo" lifestyle.  I've also recently finished a book about cutting wheat and grains from our diets in an effort to achieve health.  From these sources I've gained a fair amount of "food for thought".  Fats are good!  Carbs are bad (sort of)! Dairy, meh? Veggies absolutely! Fruits, not sure?

I think my plan at this point is to strive for a combo implementation of these things.  I am going to attempt to:

*Eliminate all grains from my diet
*Eat LOTS of veggies
*Limit my caffeine to a little coffee in the mornings
*Eat a very low amount of carbohydrates and the carbs I do eat need to come from whole, "natural" foods
*Cut sugar and limit sugar substitutes
*Limit dairy
*Cut legumes
*Up my meat consumption and try to buy pastured meats when I can



I would also really like to start incorporating some yoga into my schedule a few times a week.  I've been stiff and sore and think this might really help.


So with these lofty goals I set out... I hope to keep you updated as to my progress along the way
