Day 1
Oh dear....this is not going to be fun. I was invited by "friends" to participate in a 30 day Paleo Diet challenge...."it will be fun" they said. I agreed. What is the Paleo Diet? It's the diet of a caveman. In short, you can eat meat, vegetables, and fruit (fruit in moderation because of the sugar). No grains, no beans, no dairy (this includes my lifeline...cheese). Most importantly....NO SUGAR. Did I say Oh dear already? Hi, my name is Alexis and I am addicted to sugar (and cheese, and bread, and bready things). This will be difficult to say the least. I apologize in advance to those around me during this challenge. I will more than likely be very irritable. But...I'm going to do it. I have friends doing it with me to keep me accountable. I can do this. I have eaten the Vegan diet for 6 months with no refined sugar. 30 days I can do. I will keep telling myself this.
So, how's it going so far? So far, good. I'm still living off my binging calories for the past weeks so I'm not to hungry. Probably didn't have the best breakfast because I woke up late and didn't make the eggs I intended to make. I had a banana instead. For snack, I'm having strawberries. Not bad, but I've eaten 2 meals with the thing I'm supposed to do in moderation....fruit. Eh. Better than a biscuit! Yesterday, I went grocery shopping. I bought some random stuff to try and make. I hate cooking, so I fired up the crockpot for some Chicken Ole! (minus the corn and black beans that are supposed to accompany it). I chopped all my vegetables and fruit and put them in cute little containers. I even chopped my finger open which is making typing this a little difficult with the huge bandaid.
At least I'm not working out today. I'm going to youth group instead. I can mentally focus on my diet today and then go and pray for strength tonight at church. I'm going to need it. At least I'm eating....Jesus fasted for 40 days with nothing! Again, I can do this. More to come....I'm sure drama will accompany the future posts.
