Paleo Challenge Day Two

Well, holy hell, I just may do a little posty-post every day of this challenge!

Food for today...
Breakfast: 1/2 Quest bar, coffee with cream
Snack: 1 small avocado with salt and lemon juice
Lunch: 1 pc beef jerky, slice of cheese, and a small banana. This was my unfortunate 7-11 lunch that I grabbed on my way to class.
Snack: almonds
Dinner: ground turkey with sauteed zucchini and diced tomatoes

That lunch really left something to be desired. I'm hungry as all get-out right now, but I'm doing my best to hold out for dinner.

So, how awesome is this? I set my week one goal to be down 2.5 pounds... and it is already gone overnight! Bye-bye water weight! One other thing I've noticed already is I've had no afternoon slump yesterday or today. Usually around 2:00 I just want to lay my head down on the desk and nap. Today, even though I was in a boring management systems class, I was completely alert the whole time. It's fortunate -- I would've been head bobbing normally, and that never looks good in a class like that!

I also procured a babysitter for Saturday morning so I can go to the Crossfit Intro class. Hubs is running a 5k, so he won't be around. I am so pumped for this. Next summer I am going to be busting out pullups and pushups like nobody's business!

Sunday night refocus, paleo edition

I'm doing it. I'm going whole hog. I'm going paleo for thirty days. Starting tomorrow, ending the day I leave for Chicago.

I would love to write you all a novel about my week, but I gotta tell ya... even though my period is about to be done, I still feel like a raging hormone-driven monster. I'm afraid I won't be able to stop once I get started.

So, in a nutshell, hubs and I are challenging ourselves for a month. Daily weighing and posting on the white board in the kitchen. Tomorrow, when I get home from work, I'll be taking pics and measurements. I'm also starting Cross Fit at the gym next week, and I'm pretty geeked about that.
