I'm on Day 25 right now. I can't believe I've made it this long. I'm pretty happy with myself and the results that I've seen so far. I've lost 8 lbs so far and I've been feeling pretty great. I've also noticed that when I have cheated, I immediately feel horrible...I mean my stomach hurts, and I feel bloated.
While I haven't been 100% paleo every day, I have tried to stay 80% paleo 20% non paleo and I've been pretty successful at it for the most part. I've found a way to eat at my favorite restaurants and still stick to 80% paleo. On Day 22, I revamped my chili recipe to make it paleo friendly. I didn't have to do a whole lot to change it, switch out the kidney and pinto beans for extra veggies. I'll post the recipe for the chili later. It was pretty good although I did kinda miss the beans, cheese and cornbread that I usually have with it. I went for a 3 mile walk later that evening and then decided to go see Lawless. Bad idea on an empty stomach. Movie theater food is the opposite of paleo food....and I was sucked it. I was starving because I didn't eat dinner. I ordered a small popcorn and a small soda. I didn't finish either item and my stomach really didn't like me after that. :/ Next time I will come prepared with some munchies in my purse.

| The start of my Bison Paleo Chili |
Day 23. I had some left over chili for lunch. MMmmm. I have been craving sushi for a while now and I am finally getting to go! My friend that is also on paleo came with me. It was like a meat smorgasbord! We had a ceviche appetizer, then 4 different tapas plates and short ribs. The tapas plates at 6 piece of raw fish in soy sauce with added garlic or citrus and sprouts or onions. All very tasty. I know soy sauce isn't paleo friendly, but I haven't found the soy sauce substitute yet. Remember 80% paleo. It was all delicious and rice free.
I had a mini break down last night because I was stressed with my car, work and school. I had Cheetos AND noodles for dinner on Day 24. Talk about paleo fail!!!
