Whew, I have some catching up to do! Yesterday (Sunday) began with my husband and I having breakfast out, which is a bit of a weekly tradition. I know, we also go out for dinner on Saturday night…but that’s it. We never leave the house during the week! So we went to the diner. The diner is full, FULL of luscious breakfast carbs like French toast, pancakes, and pastries. My preference, sans new lifestyle, would be a sweet breakfast. I inquired about the fruit cup, but it was pineapple, grapes, & melon, so I passed.
Sunday Breakfast: 2 eggs, 3 slices of bacon, 1 sausage link.
Sunday Lunch: Mocha Smoothie (egg white protein)
Sunday PM: Various snacks: walnuts, 2 Dark Chocolate’s
Sunday Dinner: Sirloin tip roast, steamed green beans & broccoli with butter.
Today I had a NSV – I ordered a skirt a few weeks ago and it was a little snug, it pulled around the hips. But I didn’t want to send it back because I’m losing weight, right? So anyway, I wore it today and it fit fine. Cool.
Today I felt like this Paleo thing might be doing something…I had a lighter feeling. It’s hard to describe. My food today:
Breakfast: Mocha Smoothie
AM Snack: 1/2 Gala Apple with Almond Butter (yum! haven’t had an apple in months!) & a couple little peppers
Lunch: Salad with L/O roast
PM Snack: Walnuts
Dinner: STARVING! L/O roast, 1/4 small cantaloupe, few sugar snap peas, few pistachios. Still starving, so a couple pieces of bacon as I cooked tomorrow’s breakfast.
Over the course of today, I’ve had 3 sections of a Chocoperfection Dark Chocolate with Almonds bar.
Last night I did NOT sleep well. I went to bed tired but just never felt like I got into a deep sleep. That’s frustrating. Not sure what to do about it but try again tonight! I AM tired now. And hungry.
you shouldn't be hungry at any time when eating paleo. try adding much more fat to everything you eat. say, take full fat coconut milk for the smoothie instead of water(?) etc. add coconut oil or other healthy fats to *everything* until you're not going to be hungry anymore. eat some macadamia nuts together with meals, or as a snack in case you're still hungry. also, the sleep problem might be because of the chocolate (has some caffeine and stuff)? try taking some (more) magnesium before bed time (like 300mg Mg glycinate). Mg calms me down like whoa!
