Thursday...it was the day after Wednesday, the day after I had pushed myself a bit farther than usual. Every few months or so I'll get a yearning to try my hand at a solo sprint triathlon, meaning that I attempt the distances at a local gym to check out my current level of conditioning. Well, … Continue reading Paleo Day 11…Workout Recovery and Minor Ethnic Cheats

Paleo Day 10…Workout Fueling and Late Night Eats
Had a pretty awesome day in terms of energy level. Again I was reluctant to head out for my back to back to back workout with GU so I tried a little experiment and took along three bananas. I downed the first one right before swimming, the second one after my swim, and my third … Continue reading Paleo Day 10…Workout Fueling and Late Night Eats
Paleo Day 9…Keep It Simple, Stupid
The day started off good enough with a great 3 mile run around the neighborhood. I came across a dilemma that I've been battling since going paleo...what am I going to do about my energy gels? I'm so used to using them during my training and races and, for the first time ever yesterday, I … Continue reading Paleo Day 9…Keep It Simple, Stupid
Paleo Day 8…Down 6 Pounds, Here Comes The Cravings, 100 Weeks Left
So after what turned out to be more of a cheat day than a cheat meal, I set about my Monday to go back to my usual staple of veggies and fish. Monday started harmlessly enough with leftover curries from the weekend. Most of the broth remained but the bulk of the veggies were gone, … Continue reading Paleo Day 8…Down 6 Pounds, Here Comes The Cravings, 100 Weeks Left
Paleo Day 6 and 7…Weekend Cheat Meal, Curries, Coconuts, and More
This weekend was full of fun and adventure! I started off with finally painting my apartment. It took forever to prep but post-friendship brunch, my bestie helped me paint my place.

Paleo Day 5…Where Are The Seasonings?
So I never disputed the fact that paleo feels pretty natural...but I think today was the day I finally stopped thinking about it. (Is it becoming a habit yet?!) I started the morning with my usual egg white scramble and fruit, but wanted to do something a little special for Shant. It was Friday, after … Continue reading Paleo Day 5…Where Are The Seasonings?
Paleo Day 4…A Few Minor Slipups
What a busy day Thursday was! Had my internship so I had to pack a whole day worth of food. Wolfed down most of it before realizing that I didn't snap any photos. For breakfast I had the egg white scramble with veggies. Packed some bananas, oranges, dates, cranberries, raisins, and almonds. Made orange marinated … Continue reading Paleo Day 4…A Few Minor Slipups
Paleo Day 3…Need to Hunt Down Some Recipes
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I never bother with a whole lot of preparation unless I have some company. Don't these veggies look bright and yummy?! They were as tasty as they look. Also cooked up some home fries. It was a nice addition to the egg white scramble. As you can … Continue reading Paleo Day 3…Need to Hunt Down Some Recipes
Paleo Day 2…Still Going Strong
So far, so good! Day 2 and I haven't gone off the deep end yet. I did, however, unload my 25-ct croissant box and my Simply Apple juice at school. SCORE! I was able to give some snacks to my classmates while getting rid of some of the foods I couldn't eat. I feel much … Continue reading Paleo Day 2…Still Going Strong
First Day of Paleo
My first day of paleo went pretty well! Drank a lot of water and ate to my heart's content. I only felt hungry when I was hungry, but because I've been foodblogging I've sure noticed how many times I get up to grab a snack. Breakfast - 6 egg white scramble Snacks throughout the day … Continue reading First Day of Paleo
