    I just found this, so am starting a bit late, though I have been on strict Paleo for the last three days. I've been sort-of-Paleo for quite a while, but I am now not able to exercise due to a hip injury, so I decided I need to get serious before I start putting on weight again. These first few days I have been feeling pretty awful even though I am eating plenty of good food, but I think it must be the "carb flu" I keep hearing about. My big change has been cutting out my glass of wine every night - we'll see how that goes...

    Happy eating everyone!

    Dinner ended up being a near bust last night. I ordered the shrimp plater with no rice and beans, only sweet potatoes and grilled veggies. My plate came and atleast 3/4 of it was covered in rice and beans :/ ... I had about 6 shrimp and they had a big dollop of sour cream right on top of them. I scraped off everything as best as possible, ate my shrimp and sweet potatoes and left the restaurant $68 poorer (hubby too) and was still hungry. Oh yeah, and the meal took 3 HOURS!

    Wow! I would have asked them to fix it and/or receive a discount. At least you kept your willpower and scraped it off!! :D

    How's everyone doing? ... I'm going pretty strong. I did have one major cheat a few nights ago, my 6oz of red wine turned in to the whole bottle. Whoops! But my food has been on point. Went out to dinner at Bonefish Grill a couple nights ago and stayed strong and felt so proud. :)

    Last weekend was tough as we had an out-of-town guest and ended up dining out quite a bit due to all the running around we were doing. I indulged in sweet potato fries (possibly paleo but likely dipped in corn starch and fried in peanut oil) but otherwise think I did quite well despite the poor planning.

    I made zucchini and yellow squash "noodles" for the first time this week and really enjoyed them.

    I also cooked my first grass-fed chuck roast and it was amazing. We won't always have room in the budget for grass-fed but when we do I will definitely make use of it!

    I made it through the first week of Whole 30 without a slip, consciously or unconsciously, so I know I can do this! I was already mostly paleo, but I was struggling with a bad snack habit with crackers triggering semi-binges, and of course the glass of wine and square of dark chocolate was not contributing to my efforts to lose the flab around my mid-section. Mostly I am doing it to test out any food-related health problems, but this past week I have lost a pound and have not felt any cravings for snacks, so hopefully that will continue.
