Hey guys!
So yesterday was my first day back living like cave(wo)man. I dove right in instead of slowly cutting things out like bread, dairy, quest bars, oatmeal. So naturally my cravings were high. Yes, I had a quest bar. Oh well. It was delicious and I don't regret it. Starting today I am going to slowly ease off of everything so I don't have cravings and binge.
Some thoughts on paleo and why I am doing it -
- I love a challenge and for the first 20ish days until you get used to it that is exactly what it is. Also eating out is a STRUGGLE. But I want to find BALANCE between my health nut workout life and my social life. So I'll make sure to post the food that I order at restaurants.
- The whole 30 was amazing. When I participated in the Whole 30 through CHAARG I loved it. I had so much energy and was no longer bloated. Now the whole 30 is different than Paleo because it is more strict and has specific guidelines. So I think I am going to just stick with Paleo while I am at school and maybe another whole 30 next summer.

What I Ate Wednesday!
Eggs scrambled with red peppers, green peppers, onions, and shrimp on the side! All cooked in coconut oil < its delicious! | Broiled Tilapia topped with ground red pepper with a side of butternut squash baked in coconut oil and cinnamon. | Lol I only captured the pretty stuff - dinner was a HUGE salmon filet with mushrooms, more butternut squash, and an egg baked in an avocado < life changing. It's so good! |
note: these are not all of my meals - I also snacked on: a quest bar (whoops), baby carrots, zucchini, 1/2 a sweet potato pre workout and 1/2 a sweet potato post workout. Oh and 3 very large cups of coffee.
