As of this weekend, I will have completed 3 weeks of my Paleo Challenge.  To be honest, the only thing I really miss is the wine.  *Wait does that make me an alcoholic?  I don’t have the shakes or anything, just miss the ritual.  I’ve replaced it with decaf coffee and herbal tea so I still have a nightly ritual.  I’m betting that when I do have another glass, I’ll feel horrible the next day.  I’ll let you know when that happens!

So I started out this challenge eating blocks.  You can find more out here. http://paleoblocks.com/  I’d weigh my food, and pack every night.  Now I can just sort of eyeball it.  I still need to increase my veggies, as I find that I have food left over during the day.  Week 1, I was choking down my food because I was so full.  I ended up losing 6 pounds!   Now at the end of my 3rd week, I’m down 9 pounds, and still drinking a gallon of water every day.

The worst part is my family is not eating paleo, so resisting the urge to clean my kids plates, not having a piece of toast, or a drink with the hubby is a challenge.   All in all, so far, so good.  I may be able to continue this!  (maybe some cheat days programmed in!)
