It was an amazing day in Charleston today. The weather was perfect, had a relaxing day, cleaned up, just a little, went to a birthday party which was outdoor so we got some sun, did some food shopping and prepared food for the week.
Joe was exhausted today. He played and napped and is a little bit out of it. We are still feeling so proud of him and his performance. Justin is so excited about his basketball awards ceremony tomorrow night. No time for him to rest, baseball is just around the corner. That little guy is doing great at staying active and eating better. His tummy is flattening and his level of fitness is improving on a regular basis.
Everyone in the house is currently on the fitness band wagon. Nick is always looking to eat healthy, Joe and Justin are working out regularly and making better food choices, TJ is eating much better and prepping for the week to. Life is good…my prayers have been answered yet again.
I am still feeling great about my own accomplishments while doing Paleo. Getting through the weekends and eating as planned is a huge accomplishment for me. I just started my 3rd fast and I have no worries about temptation. We were at a birthday party today; pizza, cupcakes, cookies and soda oh my! It all looked great but I didn’t think about having any.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if our bodies automatically debited pounds for junk food we don’t eat? I think we deserve credit for that. Had it been just a few short months ago I would have eaten pizza, cupcakes, cookies and soda and when I did I would have gained at least a pound or 2. So since I didn’t eat them today I should have a pound or 2 taken off of me…sounds fair, right?
I’m looking forward to the 31 days ending; I’m just about half way there. But I was thinking today about how much better I feel. I know I am losing weight, I can feel it and seeing it in my clothes. So I’m wondering why I want this strict Paleo to end. It’s not like I have to lose just 5 lbs. I still need to drop 60 or 70lbs. I may just treat myself after the 31 days then get right back on it. That concerns me since whenever I do that it’s real hard for me to get back on track. Tomorrow is the start of my 3rd week. I’m hoping I stay strong; I’ve never been able to get to the 4th week while maintaining a strict Paleo diet.
Here’s what was on the menu for today:
1000 eggs, turkey bacon, prune juice
230 Chicken with mushrooms, onions sautéed in olive oil
530 Steak, salad w/olives, egg, peppers, olive oil/vinegar
Water Hardly any…need to play catch up this evening
Not bad…feeling very satisfied and happy J
