We have completed 12 days of working out and eating Paleo foods. We gave ourself one cheat night, barely strayed off the diet and I felt like crap for at least 24 hours. I know that my body can't tolerate the processed foods and definitely not dairy, so I'm happy to stay away from them. This has been a great learning experience. It's interesting knowing what your body thrives off of and what weighs it down.
It's 3 days until our birthday and I think that I'm going to try to make us some Paleo cupcakes.. if it's even possible. Time to "google" and find out. I will post what ever birthday dessert recipe I end up making. Don't forget to check out other recipes in the recipe section of my blog.
For those who are curious about eating Paleo and how it works, I will tell you how we make it easy for us. We just recently got a Costco card, which has made it easier. They have a big bag of sliced beef, gluten free. They have pulled pork, gluten free.. and smoked salmon. All of it is pre made, you just warm it up! Can't be easier than that! We've even gotten those pre-made rotisserie chickens. We get what ever veggies that look good, and usually on sale at the grocery store, grab some fruit for a sweet snack every now and then, get some free range eggs and bacon, and we have meals for a week.
An easy day consists of an egg scramble and bacon for breakfast, a salad with what ever veggies you have on hand and whatever protein you have on hand with red wine vinegar as dressing. Then for dinner, protein, with veggies. We have been drinking a lot of water, which fills you up also. And on occasion, we make a frozen berry smoothie with almond milk. Delicious!
Good luck on your journey.
