1 down

This is Day 7 or Seven Days, depending if you want to count down or count up.

So many people I know are in a "Program" so they count up...Day 1, Day 29, 3 Months...until the months become years and milestones achieved and conquered. And if they regress, the clock starts over.

I don't know if that's how I want to approach this since I'm expecting meals where I will not eatting Paleo, but I also don't want to approach this like a countdown.

A countdown seems like there will be an end - an explosion - something significant and then BANG! it's done. Yes there will be an end when my body fat is measured again, but I'm trying to approach this like a part of everyday life. I could just STOP counting but this somehow seems wrong.

No cheat meals in the past 7 days since there are enough anticipated in this 90 day period-birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's day and Easter.

Breakfast-ibid, ditto, some old, etc.

Lunch-grilled veggies and grilled chicken sausage. I am going to assume when the label reads "spices" this does not include sugar.

Dinner-Quick N Easy shrimp salad.
Here's the original recipe I've made before:
1 mango cubed
1/2 lb cooked shrimp
1/2 avocado cubed
juice of 1-3 limes
salt
chili powder

Today I included the kitchen sink...just because it was in the house:
1 mango cubed
1 lb. shrimp
1 avocado cubed
1/2 cucumber
red onion, rinsed to remove some of the sharpness
some cherry tomatoes
lime juice
chili powder
salt

Day 4

Breakfast-2 eggs with avocado salsa verde and 1/4 C of my faux granola with almond milk.

Lunch-pastrami sandwich wrap, 1/2 apple, miniscule cucumber tomato salad (like only 3 bites left from last night), celery wth sunflower butter * ,almonds and dried mango, banana chips.

Yes that sounds like alot of food for lunch, but that is also my mid-morning and mid-day get-me-through-this-without-going-for-the-bookcase-full-of-crap helper.

Dinner will be calamari with some veggie before I have to run off to class.

* I didn't read the label before purchase (opps) and found that it has sugar. Won't buy this again.

RECIPE
Cucumber tomato salad is REALLY easy. Diced tomatoes, sliced or cubed cucumbers, lemon juice and sea salt. That's it.

If you try this, let me know what you think.
