Paleo Day 2


Today (Tuesday) went great, no withdrawal stuff at all. No headaches, fatigue etc. Here's hoping I get off without any! Right now, I feel really great.

On Paleo I'm not doing any tracking or calorie counting. The only food tracking I'm doing is on here with the vlogs. I find it helps me be mindful of what I'm eating, but I am definitely paying closer attention to my body because I don't have the calorie counting to fall back on for how much I 'should' be eating. Very interesting. For instance I 'wanted' seconds of dinner, but realized I was full and didn't have any. I'm fascinated to see where this all takes me weight-wise. Mentally it's AWESOME.

Another thing I want to mention is that some of the recipes from the Everyday Paleo I modified a bit, for instance the Pecan crusted Chicken had honey as optional and I left it out. The Rockin' Moroccan Chicken called for raisins and green olives and I left those out. I'm going with no sweeteners or dried fruit at all. The olives, I just don't like green olives.

I'm a little confused on the nuts and fruit as far as trying to lose weight. Going to try to go by the scale and maybe look back at one of the Paleo books I have.

I will be reviewing the cookbook and the Cathe workout I mentioned in this vlog on my main blog soon.

    I'm also trying to cut out my afternoon cup of coffee!

    That chicken dish looks GREAT!
