Fagan Eats Paleo: October 2015

Me and my friend Ariana at Disneyland.

Last weekend, I went to Disneyland for the first time. Ever. Hey, age 35 is better than never, right?!? Right!

My Story

My name is Jamie and I am a lawyer in California's Bay Area. Working in litigation is crazy, unpredictable, and stressful. And in my first couple years as a lawyer, my weight and energy levels yoyo-ed. I'd lose weight, but then I'd have another stressful few weeks because of drama in a case, and the weight would come right back on. I work in a profession where many turn to smoking, drinking, or drugs to deal with the toll that the work takes. But since learning about the Paleo lifestyle, I love what it does for my energy and sense of well-being. I love the way I feel, I love creating and trying new recipes, and I love the way the food tastes.

This blog is named after one of my two cats, Fagan. Fagan has asthma, and after switching him to a grain-free diet, he has much more energy and is now having far fewer asthma attacks. Yay for Paleo, even for kitties!

I find cooking and testing new recipes to be fun and relaxing. It helps to balance out the other chaotic and crazy attorney part of my life.

I hope that this blog opens up a dialogue on the Paleo way of life--our triumphs and tribulations, in addition to sharing recipes.
