The trip to Savannah knocked me off course a bit. Otherwise, I’ve rebounded reasonably well. The extra half hour to get to the space (7pm now) has really helped. I’m less stressed about running out of the office.

I think ate too much fruit this week so I plan to get back on track w/recording on FitDay. Everyone made super yummy dishes for the paleo potluck! Nikki, I need to find the chili recipe and post it! Thanks to everyone for coming over!

Week has gone well added a few more carbs the days that I do the endurance class other than that things have stayed about the same. I have lost a few more pounds and feel great during workouts.

All has been going well with the paleo, I think I have my ideal portions now. I feel pretty good. Still get cravings here and there for sugars/chocolates. But other than that all has been well. Been eating pretty much the same stuff I have been posting for previous weeks. Went to Diane’s paleo pot luck and made a almond meal bread which turned out pretty good. Kat originally posted the recipe. I made it again after the pot luck and added blueberries…quite awesome that way.

Soooo….. Just like others I have been having a few slips. I have foud it really hard because of my schedule to keep up with the diet. I am at work longer than expected and I run out of good food, so i eat what ever I can find. Also bad days at work have definitely not helped as the chocolate and other not so great for me stuff. I am re-committing for the last 2 weeks. I have stocked the apartment with good stuff, and I am refusing to eat any of the crappy snack food that i have stashed away at school for the kids (those girl scouts will have to wait for another day).

I finally made the cookies that John posted the recipe for in week 2. At first I was unsure… but then I ate a second cookie and i decided they are really good. If you are going to make them I found that keeping them in a ball or scoop shape is better. The just taste better that way, rather than flattening them out so they look like a cookie.

By the way…. i have been floored by how much more money I am spending on groceries in the last few weeks. Eating healthy is rather expensive.

So far so good…I think, if anything I am so proud of myself for not cheating. Just got back from snowshoe with a bunch of classmates and stayed away from all the cookies, danishes, and s’mores…just had a glass of wine in the evenings (its heart healthy to do so , right?! ). Kind of annoying because I knew none of the food that was provided up there would be Paleo so I arrived prepared with my ice chest with my “special” Paleo food, nerdy… I feel really good about myself and energetic for the most part. Not going to lie, I do not go out seeking for those processed carbohydrates anymore, but I do crave them when I see someone else enjoying them.
Thanks to everyone who has shared their wonderful recipes, especially the Paleo meatballs and John’s Paleo pancakes are my staples.

hahaha i know we need like xfit a.a. I would love to do something that didn’t require us to demolish a weeks worth of diet and exercise, but there are so many movies you can see. It doesn’t help that i live across the street from avalon, so when I am bored it is a gleaming beacon of fun. I would love to see how directly my BAC and weight are connected.

kyle, i’m finding it impossible too but, honestly, you want to stop going out on the weekends? give me some suggestions of what you want to do that would be just as fun as a night at avalon and metro
