Wow, I surprisingly made it through Day 4. Had a lot of car drama today which made me want sugar and carbs....but I didn't grab any carbs. I had a cool lime refresher from Starbucks....which I'm sure had sugar in it but atleast I skipped the caramel macciato that I normally get which has dairy and lots of sugar. BTW - the cool lime refresher is soo good! Lime, mint and caffiene extracted from green coffee beans.
The rest of the day was filled with salads, veggies and protein. yum! I didn't feel tired today, walked around the park with some friends. When I saw walk around the park - I mean walk around Memorial Park which is a 3 mile loop. No shortcuts. I'm going to start running around the park next week. My goal is to run 3 miles straight no stopping!
Day 5
Still not sure what the exact problem is with my car. I was super tired this morning and I have a busy day today so I gotta figure out how to stick to my diet. I am still using protein shakes in my diet until I can figure out quick meals for on the go.
I carried apples, beef jerky and banana chips with me today. And yay, I had time to go home and eat dinner before going to my tutoring job. Left over pot roast and a banana. Okay, I have to freeze the rest of this pot roast. I think I'm burnt out on it although it was super tasty.
I broke and had a cranberry vodka while out for a friends birthday and boy did I immediately felt like crap! So it was my one and only drink of the night. It's amazing how one drink could make me feel so blah. Ok, I can just go without the booze from now on. I can have fun with or without it. I'll just order myself a club soda with lime. Ta Da. Looks like an alcholic beverage, but it's not. :)
Day 6
Awesome. I got my car back. Not a major problem, just had to replace a hose and my car is working again. I love my Jetta. :) :)
Even better news, I'm down 6.5 lbs from when I returned from my awesome roadtrip. And 4.5 lbs down since I started eating Paleo. AWESOME!!! I'm sticking to it! I know the cravings will eventually go away.
They (I mean the paleo liftstyle people) say to just eat when you are hungry. You don't have to have 6 small meals a day like other diets. It makes it easier and I'm not counting calories either. Just eating when I'm hungry. So far breakfast and lunch have both been fruit smoothies and I had some beef jerky. I think I'll make myself a salad and some tilapia for dinner tonight. Yum!
Ok so I ended up making strawberry almond salad and a side of sautéed mushroom for dinner. Really good. I smelt French fries earlier and omg, I wanted some so bad, but I willed myself not to. So proud of myself.
