I went one night to my parents for tea. My mum made these amazing lettuce cups filled with meat for dinner. They had a few other things in theirs, lentils and sauces. I wasn’t allowed those so she made me individual mince with things I am allowed! Its great as its making it easy for me having the support of my family.
I also had a couple of days with my work collegue, who is doing paleo also. We took turns taking dinner for both of us to work. The first night she made an amazing beef curry on kumara mash! It had zucchini, capsicum and mushrooms. The second night I took the burgers with kumara hash. Had lettuce, avocado, chicken and camembert on top of kumara hash. Was divine!! Everyone at work that came in while we were eating was making comments about how yum they looked!
When I first googled paleo, middle of last year, I was thinking, "This is ridiculous! Your not allowed to eat anything!" However now my mind is in it, and im doing further research, along with the recipe book, its amazing what you can eat, and more importantly, how yum it is!!!
I have started to google recipes for pesto, mayo, chutneys etc to make salads and other items that bit tastier. I have a big list of things planned to make on my days off to keep in the fridge when required.
However I did have a wee binge during the last week. I saw some chocolate chips in my pantry and had a weak moment. Lets just say I don’t have to worry about them anymore. I was disappointed with myself. But I decided to draw a line in the sand right then and there and move on. Yes I had a slip up, yes I know I shouldn’t have. But I cant dwell on that. Need to forget about it and move forward. Take each day as it comes. And that’s what I have done! No more slip ups since.
CrossFit has been going great. I am still really enjoying it. Chris even made me try a tomato while I was there! I didn’t like it, wanted to spit it out haha. But hey I tried a new thing!!!
My body is certainly not getting as sore after the workouts. Not as stiff the next day. I love how the workouts are high intensity but not for a long period of time. It makes it achievable. I go into it thinking, I can do this. That’s what keeps me going back. If I went into it knowing it’s a struggle and knowing I cant achieve it, I simply wouldn’t go back. But its not like that at all. I pre book my classes the week before. And I have found that I actually arrange my life around CrossFit. Normally if something else came up, lunch with a friend or going to a movie, I would cancel my work out and do that instead. Any excuse to get out of it! However that hasn’t been the case lately. I make sure I go to CrossFit because I love it!!
I got on the scales yesterday. I was excited, counted down the days to Monday morning so I could see my results. 1.5kg down. Total of 3.6kg. :)
Bring on Week 3!!!!
