Day 10: Longer attention span!

After 10 days on the Paleo diet I have noticed another epic improvement worth sharing: I have a longer attention span at work now, and it's easier to concentrate!  It's true!  Are you familiar with the feeling you get when you have a zillion different windows open on your computer and you can't remember what you were just working on because you just got interrupted?   I used to know that feeling all too well, believe me.  I would always forget what I was doing, and if I was lucky enough to remember it, I had to make a point to motivate myself to get back to work on it.  But today I was going back and forth to a lot of different things and I was getting interrupted a lot but it was so much easier to concentrate and go from task to task.  It was probably the single biggest improvement in that area I've experienced in a very long time.

I also noticed my typical bad mood in the morning wore off faster, and I wasn't getting perturbed at situations like I normally would.  I just found it easier to laugh things off.

I also notice the dark circles under my eyes are going away a little bit.  Pretty much everyone has those, so hey!  I'll take it!

At this point, I'm just wondering what's going to happen next.  This is ridiculous.  So far eating this way is just genuinely making me feel better and it's improving areas that I thought were just part of my personality.  It's kind of like peeling back layers of an onion.

The other important thing that happened today was SPONTANEOUS CLEANING.  Something I almost never do if I can help it, and if I do try to clean, it seems like it takes forever (I guess I get distracted easily). But tonight I cleaned my entire downstairs in only 45 minutes.
