Paleo Days 15 and 16

I see I forgot to show breakfast for day 15. It was...leftovers! From dinner the night before. Huge surprise, I know.

I'm not going to lie, this has been far easier than I had imagined. Far easier than last time I tried to go Paleo. Don't get me wrong, I'm very thankful for that, but at the same time I'm a bit surprised. I expected withdrawals like crazy the first week, I expected crazy cravings, I expected it to be tough. But it hasn't been. It's been, dare I say, easy for me this time around. I think there's a few reasons why:

1. I was excited for it. I was just plain excited to 'go Paleo'. I researched, found blogs, bought books, went crazy. I think the excitement (and positive attitude) towards this is a huge reason it's been easier. My attitude isn't oh I 'can't eat that' it's I 'choose not to eat that'.
2. My motivation. I haven't talked a whole lot about why exactly I went Paleo, but it's had a lot to do with why it's gone well I think. I'll do a whole post on my main blog about that soon.
3. I was prepared. I shopped, I sought out recipes, I did my research, I planned meals, etc, etc. I was super prepared this time around. I set myself up for success.
4. Instead of jumping off, I went into it slowly. Yes, August 1st I was full Paleo, but prior to that I stepped down with non-paleo foods instead of going cold turkey in one day.

So, I'm still enjoying myself with this. Still feeling great. Still having fun with it. Hooray!

If you're interested, here's a link to the mayo recipe I used in the video. The eggs I used: http://www.safeeggs.com/.  After it was in the refrigerator a bit, it's perfect! Even hubby loves it. He said it's 'tangier' than regular mayo. I think I was noticing the apple cider vinegar because I knew it was in there. He couldn't even tell.
