Today I learned a few things. I've been reading old blog posts by The Paleo Chix and just trying to learn more about all this. Some of their posts really hit home when dealing with the emotional aspects of this. I think I mentioned last week about how I no longer have a comfort food in grains/starches to turn to, so this diet actually made it so much easier on me. But I'm beginning to delve deeper into that. And I'm realizing that I don't even need those. I realized today at how I'm already beginning to feel like I'm eating to NOURISH my body, rather than "just" feeding it. I mean, this is probably the first time in my entire life that I didn't include pasta, bread, etc, plus processed food, in a diet. (Well, if you don't count the dressing I use...I'm working on that). And I like this feeling. I like knowing that what's going in is the good stuff. Not just mindless crap.
I did keep cheese out of the picture today since I ended up having so much yesterday. No real side effects from it but, it was def too much. For breakfast, I had an apple, some carrots, and a few strips of bacon. Lunch was a springmix/tomato salad with some light ranch, and some deli smoked turkey slices, plus some almonds. That carried me through the afternoon pretty well. Dinner was tenderized cube steak sauteed in a skillet, shredded sweet potatoes, a sliced tomato, and half a banana. Later this evening, I was a bit hungry still so I had the two small leftover pork chops and another sliced tomato.
