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

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.

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.

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!

Breakfast - 6 egg white scramble Snacks throughout the day … Continue reading First Day of Paleo
