Good bye week 5!!!! It was an interesting week. I finished my whole 30 on Tuesday. I have been still eating paleo 80 percent of the time since then. I just feel better and stronger eating that way. The most major nonscale victory I had was that i felt no guilt about anything I ate for the thirty days. Where as before I would feel bad for eating an extra piece of bread or pasta. Then I would eat more and feel even worse. I never felt bad about eating an extra brussel sprout or carrot.
I completed all my 5 am workouts this week. I contracted my kids' cold Tuesday and have pushed on every morning even when I really didnt feel like it. I got most of my treadmill time in but my knees have been real achy this week so Friday I just took the dog for a long outddor walk Friday instead of climbing on the hamster wheel. I don't want to injure myself again and risk not being able to exercise at all. That has happened mutliple times over the past two years which lead to poor eating and no progress.
I only lost 1 pound this week but I am not sad because I know I have given it my all all week. There are certian feminine factors at play this week as well that should remedy themselves in a few days which may lead to a more substiantial weight drop next week.
I did celebrate the superbowl. I made a seven layer dip, gluten free toritilla chips, some chicken bites and chocolate cupcakes. I ate one serving of each and I was full. I would normally eat like 3 cupcakes but one hit the spot and I didnt crave anymore. Now I must mention I did sample frosting, and batter while preparing these homemade from scratch goodies but not alot. Hubby will be taking leftovers to work tommorrow to get the evilness out of the house. Tommorrow I will eat paleo again till Saturday. Got my menu planned and ready to roll.
