1 week in! ... Weekends are hard

1 week in!

I have completed 1 week of my 30 day paleo challenge and I am feeling pretty good about it!  My husband got back in town on Friday and I realized how much harder it is to eat strict paleo with someone around who is not.  However, I still have not cheated once! (pretty proud of myself).  Here are updates on what I ate over the weekend.

Day 6, June 30
8:30 am - 3 egg frittata (with sautéed onion, zucchini, tomatoes) (made in coconut oil) and chicken sausage. 16 oz of water.
10:30 am - 12 oz of water
1 pm - avocado, carrots, apple and almond butter. 16 oz of water.
3 pm - nuts and 16 oz of water
7:00 pm - (meal out) steak, sautéed spinach. 16 oz of water
9:00 pm - (movie) NO Delicious snacks; snuck in a 12 oz La Croix water so I could have something carbonated. (don't tell on me...hehe).
11:00 pm - 16 oz of water

Day 7, July 1
9:00 am - steak and eggs (cooked in coconut oil) (from left over steak from dinner). Sliced tomatoes and avocado. blueberries. 16 oz of water.
12 pm - apple with almond butter. 16 oz of water
3:00 pm - (my husband really wanted chargrill) Hamburger (no bun) w/ lettuce, tomato, onion, and peppers. 12 oz of water
8:00 pm - salad (greens, tomato, onion, avocado, tuna, cucumber, evoo and balsamic vinegar). 16 oz of water
10:00 pm - 12 oz of water

So I am not sure if you noticed that I ate at chargrill on Sunday.  My husband had been working on renovating our kitchen cabinets all day and the kitchen was a mess, plus we had waited until 3 to get lunch.  Both in foul moods, I told him to pick a place for lunch and I would make it work for paleo.  Supportingly (she says sarcastically) he picked Chargrill.  Normally, I would jump at the chance to eat a burger and fries, but it isn't paleo.  Not wanting to fight, I said fine.  I ended up with a hamburger (no cheese) and threw out the bun, ate it with a fork and knife and was completely unsatisfied.  Plus, I almost cried at the smell of his french fries.  I have never wanted fries so bad in my entire life.

I am really proud that I got through the weekend without a cheat.  I did notice that now that Collins is back in town we ate out a lot more than I did the first week.  Luckily we planned our meals to cook at home this week, and I am excited to share the recipes we have planned!

Today, I got to work out for my first time at Crossfit Invoke! More about that and the food I have been eating when I post on Wednesday!
