Paleo: Week One.

Oh....my...gaaahhhhhh

Week one is finished, you guys. That is the HARDEST thing I have ever done. My husband and I spent the whole week trying to talk ourselves out of doing this, and surprisingly didn't succeed in doing so. Especially since I hated most of the recipes I tried. (I'm a super picky eater AND I think my taste buds were like WTF IS THIS HEALTHY STUFF YOU'RE FEEDING US?) And I will be very honest and tell you I cried a few times. (I realize I sound super dramatic here, but I'm just being honest and if you're telling me that you can switch to Paleo and not morn the loss of how you used to eat, then you're awful and I hate you. *no, not really, that's the gluten-free talking*) We just need to keep trying new recipes and find ones that work for us!

Two of my favorite things were breakfast and "dessert".

Crustless Quiche and Bacon

Green smoothie "ice cream"

At the completion of our week, my husband and I had a movie date and we ate just a little bit of popcorn and ice cream and we both felt crazy sick after. That really showed me the stuff I used to put in my body every day. Scary really. It's like I could feel the nasty stuff flowing through and it was gross.

Now, I'm not going to tell you I'll follow Paleo 100%. I do loooooove dairy. So my husband and I agreed that we could have dairy once a week. As well as one sugar item. If we restrict ourselves from those things then I will start to hate eating this way and I will fail. Gluten-free is my main goal and as long as I always stick to that, I'm happy.

So are you curious how the weight loss went? (If you're my Facebook friend, then you already know.)

My husband lost 10 pounds and I lost....

11.

That's right, ELEVEN.

I'm so proud of us this week. For actually sticking with it, even when we were trying to talk each other out of it. I am excited to keep trying this! On to week 2....
