Day 3 was a beast!

Day 3 of my Paleo experiment was a real beast.  I can tell that all of my sugar reserves from the week of indulgence are gone!  I had a really hard time.  Thank heavens for my Carly Jo and her baking skills.  She googled low carb brownies and made me a batch that basically saved my life.  Love her so!

I know that part of my problem was I worked out yesterday morning with my dear friend Deana the Rabbit.  It was the first time I had lifted in a week.  Also, I just work out harder with her.  Anyway, I was dying yesterday.  I did cave a little last night with a small bowl of chex cereal.

I think I can do this.  I just have to keep eating and working and finding the right balance of carbs for me.  I have to do this for my sanity and for the safety of my family. Just kiddin'.  I am really ready for my body to start liking burning fat again instead of carbs.  Lord knows I have plenty to spare.

Exercise for the day was:  1 hour in the gym with Deana

Eating for the day was:
Breakfast:  2 eggs, wild hog sausage pattie, spark and coffee with creamer.  Carbs around 17 grams.
Snack:  Raspberries and cheese stick.  Carbs 11 grams.
Lunch:  Nuts, grilled chicken and pinto beans.  Carbs 37 grams.
Snack:  Low carb brownie (thank you baby Jesus and Carly Jo) with skim milk and a piece of dark chocolate.  Carbs 11 grams.
Dinner:  Steak with very small amount of black beans and wild rice, cheese stick and 1/2 spark.  Carbs 10 grams ?  I feel like I am off on my numbers here.  :(
Snack that kept me from killing people:  Chex cereal with skim milk and diet cocoa.  Carbs 29.

Total carbs for the day around 115.

I have determined that this is a really low number for me and it is hard to maintain.  I do feel less bloated today.  My beloved Joe broke my scale so I am unable to weigh myself, but that is probably a good thing.  I am going to keep at it.

Regarding the brownies, my friend Deana ask me how I planned on not eating the whole batch in one sitting.  To be honest they are good, but not great.  I am thinking any treat is better than no treat so I am good with them.  I froze most of them in little single serve squares.

Show up and make it count!
