Today marked day 1 of my 30 day Paleo challenge. I took full advantage of eating what ever I wanted over the weekend. My last meal was a root beer float. I really wanted more ice cream but exercised self control by telling my waiter not to bring me more no matter what. Thanks Marcus for listening!
I started off the day with a banana while I was getting ready for work and then had some grapes on the way. I don't eat much to begin with so this was enough for me. When I start training I will however eat more. While at work I went to the cafeteria for lunch. I fixed myself a salad with mushrooms, carrots, hard boiled egg, a few string beans, and apples. I am not a fan of not being able to put any dressing on my salads but I'll get over it. I can use oil and vinegar but I'm not about that so I choose to go without.
Dinner is my favorite meal of the day. I always cook something super yummy and tonight was no exception. I baked a piece of salmon and had delicious brussel sprouts on the side. I will admit that I am the kind of person that needs something sweet immediately post dinner so this will be a challenge for me. However, I decided that I better give smoothies a chance. For dessert I made a strawberry, blueberry, almond milk smoothie. I had trouble using my roommates magic bullet and had to call for help. Now that I know how to use it, I'll definitely be using this for breakfast smoothies.
