The third week of being Paleo started off better than the second week. Since there was no cheating this week; let’s start off with…
Sugar Withdrawals
Since the day I started Paleo, sugar withdrawals have been the bane of my existence but guess what? Week 3 wasn’t all that bad…I had less head aches and even lesser cravings… I still crave cookies and cake but not as much. I consider that a win in my book.
Running Performance
My running performance has been smooth sailing until yesterday. When I was scheduled to run 14 miles but I ended up stopping at 11 because I simply ran out of energy. If I had some race fuel like some chomps or something I’m pretty sure I would have finished my run. I need to find a Paleo alternative to race fuels ASAP, if you have any suggestions please let me know.
Meal Planning
My girlfriend decided to take another stab at meal planning, mainly because she is better than me in this department. She knows how to keep it simple, where I’m the one always researching new recipes online. Here’s what we had:
Breakfast All Week– Bacon and Eggs (hard-boiled, scrambled, fried)
Lunch All Week– Chopped Salad. We put all the meats and veggies in separate bags, so we can make the salad however we want it.
Dinner Sun-Mon: Turkey Meat Balls, Sweet Potatoes, and Cauliflower
Dinner Tue-Wed: Baked Chicken and Cabbage
Dinner Thur- Friday: Broiled Tilapia and Cabbage
Dinner Sat-Sun: BBQ Ribs, Chicken, and Collard Greens
My Weight
Lastly my weight is what people is the most curious about. When I started this Paleo Challenge I weighed 286lbs; after 14 days I weighed 281lbs; and after 21 days my weight is 277.6lbs. That’s another 3.4lbs lost. I think this is crazy because I’m not starving myself, if anything I feel like I’m eating more since I’ve been Paleo and I’m still running 3-4 times a week. Whatever it is I’m dropping weight like crazy.
That’s all I have for this week… Here’s to 21 days done and 69 days to go.
