We are still eating Paleo and we still like it. I have made several yummy things for us to eat, even desserts!
Banana Nut Muffins ( I added nuts to mine )
Apple Crisp with Coconut Whipped Cream I LOVE LOVE LOVE this one. It was so delicious! I love the Whipped Cream too. You can add cinnamon, honey, vanilla, even dark chocolate to it to change it up a bit.
I feel much better on this diet. I am waking up earlier in the mornings without feeling tired. I have been able to eat breakfast with my husband each morning before he goes to work because I am able to get out of bed earlier.
It does get hard when I am around other food that I used to eat that I can't eat during my 30 days. I was at a friends house and she made Chicken Enchiladas for dinner. They looked SO good, but I couldn't eat them.
Today, I am in a rut. I am not happy at all today. Even though I feel great, I am a tad put off today. I have gained 2-3 pounds in the last couple of days and I have no idea why. I have been eating very little carbs. The carbs I have been eating are natural (from fruit). Yesterday I logged my eating to see if I was eating to many Calories. I ate 1245 calories and burned 693 at the gym. Surely, I should be loosing weight since I do this every day. Right? This is normally the time that I would start being honest with myself and come clean about "cheating" with my eating. However, I honestly have not been cheating. I have been put to the test so many times and have always come out on top. I even made Snickerdoodles for the kids yesterday. My husband offered me one last night and as hard as it was, as bad as I wanted one, I said no and walked away. I am really hoping that our scales is messed up or that I am just gaining muscle faster than before (since I am eating so much protein now). Sigh....
My 29th birthday is on Saturday. A friend is taking me out tomorrow and my husband has arranged a family dinner outing for Saturday. The question is, do I loosen the strings and enjoy my Birthday or do I stick to my diet? Do I pass on my own birthday cake?
