Day 8

It feels like such an accomplishment to write "day 8." One week down. Three to go. I do miss regular food. Normal stuff is so much easier to prepare on a whim. Maybe a saving grace for me is that I'm a menu planner. If left to my own devices at 5pm I might crack. Luckily I have my handy dandy list to bail me out.

I've developed a few favorites. Namely the paleo cereal with coconut flakes, the milk, almond meal, nuts and fruit. That's what I had again this morning.

I've also learned to tolerate leftovers. Normally my husband won't eat leftovers so I cook what we'll eat. Now I make extra for me to eat at lunch time so I don't have to come up with an approved meal idea.

Lunch today was leftover "No tortilla" Soup. Here's that recipe from everyday paleo: http://everydaypaleo.com/caldo-de-pollo/

Dinner was fajita filling again as we had beef to use up.

Out of curiosity I also tested my body fat percentage at bootcamp tonight. (By the way, I totally recommend boot camp or crossfit as a compliment to a running routine. It has made me so strong and it's a lot of fun. ) Anyway, I'm down 5lbs and 2% body fat in one week. I know it won't continue at that pace but I'm really motivated by the stats.

That pretty much wraps up the day. We're having chili tomorrow. ...Okay, it's beef and some tomato, but chili sounds more delicious so "chili" it is. :)
