Prepping

One week down for Paleo - and I must say I feel great. I probably ate more fruit than I was suppossed to, but other than that no carbs or sugars for this girl!

I'm still trying to learn how to cook tasty meals, not just healthy ones...my sister has always made fun of me because I eat tasteless food. I'm perfectly content to eat veggies sauteed in nothing but a little water, no salt on my food - really pretty boring. But I'm learning...she has a grill so I've started bringing loads of meat over to grill and have on reserve for the week. Not the best photo, but I threw some Salmon, Rainbow Trout, and chicken/onion/pepper scewers on the grill, not too shabby! Then of course, one day for lunch I went to Whole Foods and got this, and David pointed out that I was not actually allowed legumes, so I had two egg white for lunch - still learning haha!
Eating out does prove to be a challenge, especially when you living in the land of chips and queso.

My parents live in East Texas...A drive that is long enough they would need to spend the night, but short enough that they make it once or twice a month, even more so that all of their kids live in Austin...now that Chels and I no longer share a house, we eat out, every meal.

For me, it's hard to just say I'll eat healthy, without having specific quidelines. Hopefully one day, but right now I like to have certain boundaries. We went out for dinner, and I realized the benefit of thinking just a little ahead. Usually I would blame a lack of time, but recently I've been making it more a priority to plan ahead for meals. I ate some fish and veggies before we left, and got a dinner salad with no dressing at the restaurant to much on while everyone else was eating.

A small accomplishment I know, but this was huge for me. We had a serious game of bowling that followed, and I had zero blood sugar spikes or drops, and no stomach aches. Weight loss is definetely a factor, but just feeling better - more energy and havn't gotten sick after a meal since I've started...maybe I am Lactose Intolerant or Gluten Sensitive, but I don't even care because I feel great now! So to go out on a fun note, here are a few pictures but our bowling family fun night...One of those unibrows looks way too real :)
