And we're here for an exciting 6th day of the Paleo Blog. I am now officially 20% done with the challenge, and it's actually quite funny how accustomed to the diet I am already. I keep finding ways to tweak things here and there. I have also found some "comfort" foods and meals that I will rely on to get through the challenge. The foods are Salsa and Guacamole, and the meal is a Mexican salad. It's pretty simple, all I need is lettuce, chicken, salsa and guacamole. I can pile on all the lettuce, salsa and guacamole I want, so that keeps me full.
Here's my lineup for the day:
Breakfast
Fruit Salad containing chopped apples, shredded carrots, and raisins with a dash of cinnamon
2 Hard Boiled Egg Whites
2 Turkey Sausage Patties
Snack
6 Small Pieces of Celery with SunButter on them
Lunch
Mexican Salad containing Lettuce, Grilled Chicken, Guacamole and Salsa
Snack
Protein Shake with Coconut Milk
10 Roasted and Unsalted Almonds
Dinner
Spaghetti Squash
1/2 Serving of Leftover Ground Turkey and Spinach from last night
1/2 Grilled Chicken Breast
Salsa
I had someone ask me what I'm drinking with this diet, and I decided to go strictly with water. I try to drink at least a gallon a day and that's it. I have had pressure to drink alcohol and eat outside of the diet, but it hasn't been too hard to say no. It's a slippery slope for me, if I have one bad food or drink, then I start rationalizing why it's OK to keep doing it.
Anyways, thanks for following here people. Let me know what you think.

ReplyDeleteHi John! I finally remembered to sit down at the computer and read this. Every time I see your post it's on my Blackberry. This is fantastic! I want to get back to doing my Body for Life - which is similar in that you eat 6 meals a day and have an exercise routine - although not as intense as yours! Wow!! It's all in getting into the routine. It only took about a week for me to get used to it all, as well. And then it was nothing. With Body for Life, you are allowed a free day where you eat whatever you want and don't have to exerise. The first couple weeks I couldn't wait to have pizza, ice cream ... ANYTHING that wasn't on the diet. But then started to feel guilty about eating junk and didn't really crave it cuz you're so excited about getting healthy and in shape. Can't wait to see "after" pictures! Congrats on skipping the alcohol too! :) Very proud of you!
