Paleo week one started last Sunday, so I’m going to be doing weekly re-caps of what I ate throughout this 30 day challenge. Below is what I ate between Sunday April 7-Saturday April 13.
How I’m feeling: The first day was pretty easy since I woke up late and just kept eating all day long, and prepping for the week ahead. The second day I had a small annoying eyeball headache all day, and it wasn’t enough to take a pill, but it was just there and noticiable. I also had a bit of a craving this day. That night I had a “nightmare” that I cheated on paleo and had a cadbury creme egg while I was DRIVING TO CROSSFIT… In my dream I was thinking “Oh NO, I have to record this in my book that I cheated on just the second day and this dumb egg doesn’t even taste that good“. So that’s that.
The rest of the week I’ve felt pretty mellow, yet alert and no cravings. Which I’m thankful for. Overall I feel pretty good. I don’t get full when I finish my meals, but I am more satisfied than heavy-feeling. Ie: no food babies after pasta. Hooray!
I’ve been recording everything I eat and drink (only water) in this book I made for myself, and including the times I’ve eaten. This will then be passed into my CrossFit coaches at the end of the 30 day Paleo Challenge to evaluate. So far no changes in my body (that I can notice anyway). I don’t weigh myself because we don’t own one at home and I’m not about to whip out a measuring tape just yet.
I’ll be doing this re-cap weekly on my blog each Sunday. So let me know if you have any questions regarding it.
