Day 6...yesterday

So, I cheated a little on this day when we went to play poker. I had two glasses of wine and these little hot dog thingys..a TON of them. I was starving yesterday but I'm hoping thats a good things because maybe that means my appetite is back. So..despite the what I consider a small cheat yesterday...I'm still sticking with it!

Day 5

So today was a little more difficult to track, I was hungry and nibbed alot on different things such as nuts, fruits, and red & orange peppers....So I decided I need to get more protein from meats and fish as my base to avoid snackiness! I also ate more fruit as to prepare for the long run I had planned today.

B-dried apple w/ almond butter (B-lined straight from bed b/c I was HUNGRY!), 1 egg, bowl of banana, blueberries, melon and crush almonds.
PW-veggie salad w/ balsamic spray and salsa as dressing and crushed almonds, 1/2 ckn breast
S- Orange
D-1/2 Acron Squash, 1/2 ckn breast, and snack at poker night including salsa with red pepper scoops, deviled egg,and a little dry fruit with nuts

Got lots of meat at the store today: Buffalo....shrimp..yuuuum!

Paleo Dinner for 4???

I propose we do a paleo dinner for 4 next week sometime? We could do it at my house or your guys house. If we do it at your house..I just ask that it be like 5-530ish..only cause I have to put Belle to bed at a descent hour...and I'm assuming you won't mind if she comes! Shes pretty cool and pretty Paleo friendly!

We could all prepare something for it too. I kinda want to do the main dish of shrimp..what I made last night cause I love it. Someone could make a salad/veggie/fruit side/dessert?

Thoughts??

Here is a good recipie for pork chops that Matt found too:

Paleo 20 day challenge day two

So today is day 2 of this challenge, this is my first food challenge.  Crazy how it was not until I started that I realized how much of the "no intake" foods that I was consuming, so this challenge became a bit more of a challenge than I was expecting. Juls, katie and I went for a run later this morning and I was wondering how my body would feel after making such a change in intake the day before and it handled beautifully!! Felt great and it is about 11 40am right now and I do not feel famished like I usually do around this hour.
Super motivated and excited about it on day 2! I will post intake at end of the day
