One week down!!

So what does a caveman's diet look like in the life of a mom of 4? Pretty good, I think overall. Turns out I don't need to binge on pasta and garlic bread, or have a candy bar before an intense workout or a long run.

The hardest part for me, is making separate meals for my family apart from my own. Sometimes they want to try what I've made (banana bread made w almond flour) or making something non paleo and trying not to taste what I'm making. Last night I almost popped a potsticker in my mouth, just out of habit!

Now I'm not sure if I've lost any weight so far, but i feel smaller in the midsection, and hubby says my posterior has shrunken considerably (I think he feels dissed, considering he married a chick w a ghetto booty. But he doesn't go on about it ;)). Curious what 5 more weeks will do! I do seem also to take my rescue inhaler less, especially at night. The paleo diet claims less inflamation throughout the body is a result.

Anyhoo, on to playing catch up!

Sunday, I fasted 2 meals (for religious reasons, but Aimee has granted full points with he consent of the entire group) but dinner was...
Roast beef w roasted carrots and onion
Coleslaw w light dressing (including paleo mayo, and made w honey insetad of white sugar)
1 sweet potato

Snack 2 slices banana bread

Monday
BREAKFAST was 16 oz naked green smoothie (cause that's how I roll) heehee, and 1 banana.

Activity was ZUMBA!!! I love love love my Monday morning class, and really have missed it over the holiday break. Running on a treadmill just doesn't compare to loud music, good friends and sparkly tanktops:)

LUNCH: 2 eggs and sausage scrambled w onions, red bell pepper and spinach.
Visited my friend Amber (who is also participating in the challenge, and is also blogging:)), and I SNACKED w one cutie orange, a couple apple slices, and a smoothie. Not exactly sure what was in it, included but not limited to: almond milk, banana, strawberries, ice.

DINNER
2 oven roasted chicken drumsticks w bbq sauce
Roasted green beans tossed w EVOO, sea salt pepper and onions (these were delicious!)
Snacked on a handful of pistachios before bed (I gotta hide these from my kids;))




My Naked Green Smoothie!! So glad it's approved. It's sooo refreshing!!


My AMAZING zumba instructor TyAnn!! This is the fastest chick I know!! Both of us after class drenched in sweat, so glad to be back in class after a long break!!
