Primal/Paleo Diet: Day 8 of 28 + Week 1 Results

I have officially completed Week 1 and started Week 2 of the Paleo Diet. Here are my results and my foods for today.

0 lbs lost - ??

Waist - 1/2 in.

Chest - 1/2 in.

Hips - 1/2 in.

Ribs - 1 in.

I don't know how I can lose inches but no weight. I guess I'm losing body fat while gaining muscle?  Oh well! My body (especially my stomach area) is starting to take a new shape, and I'm loving it! When the school year is over, I will be able to work out more, which will hopefully boost my weight loss.

My husband lost 7 lbs this week.  He's not keeping his measurements, but I can tell his belly is getting smaller.

If we keep this up, we both plan to get a whole new wardrobe this summer.  My pants I wear to work are literally falling off my rear when I walk around.  Crazy...but very exciting!

Breakfast:

Leftover Pork Tenderloin from Reata last night with a side of broccoli and carrots. I also had a few pieces of fruit about 2 hours later.

Lunch:

We had our annual Foundation Board Meeting with lunch afterwards at a Catfish restaurant. I had the Grilled Chicken with Grilled Vegetables. I of course did not eat the rice, bread, or the fried onion rings, fried pickles, french fries or hush puppy appetizers. I ate as best as I could at this restaurant.  Lord, this was difficult!

Dinner:

Grilled, Organic Chicken, 1/4 of a Butternut Squash (love this stuff!), with a side Iceburg and Spinach Salad, Homemade Balsamic Vinaigrette, Tomatoes.

Primal/Paleo Diet: Day 7 of 28

Today marks the end of Week 1 for my Paleo/Primal Diet. I haven't had any dairy, grains, processed food, potatoes, coke, etc. Tomorrow I will be posting my body results, as well as foods for Day 8.

Breakfast:

Organic Chicken and Veggie Stir Fry in Coconut Aminos (a soy sauce alternative) with a whole organic grapefruit. Yum!!

Lunch:

Fajita Chicken (without the tortilla of course). I just sauteed bell pepper, onion, tomato and chicken in some cumin, chili powder and garlic powder, then topped it off with some avocado. It was very yummy.

Dinner:

Like I said yesterday, we have some family/friends in town. It's a tradition every year to eat dinner at Reata, a well known "fancy" restaurant in downtown Fort Worth. I had the Coffee Crusted Pork Tenderloin with a Mango Chutney.  I did not eat many of the green beans or any of the mashed potatoes.  (I also resisted the massive amount of bread and butter, and dessert...SO HARD!)

Primal/Paleo Diet: Day 5 of 28

Today was an interesting day. I was so incredibly busy that I did not have much time to eat anything. But I wasn't incredibly starving. Here is what I ate on Day 5 of my 28 day experiment.

Breakfast:

Sauteed Vegetables (bell pepper, broccoli, tomato) in Coconut Oil, then I threw 2 eggs in there, with a side of yummy Strawberries. I also had a few more vegetables around 10am.

Lunch:

Leftover Sauteed Cabbage in Coconut Aminos with Homemade Bolognaise Sauce and Grass-fed Ground Beef. I had this in the fridge from last week, so I decided to go ahead and eat it up for lunch. I only had time to eat 1/2 of it for lunch around 12. I didn't leave school til 5:30 and I wasn't even that hungry. Amazing...this diet!

Dinner:

I had the 2nd 1/2 of my Lunch and a few nuts (almonds, sunflower seeds, pistachios). I wasn't hungry after that.

Oh btw, my husband has lost 4 pounds this week. I'm going to weigh in on Monday and take my measurements. We'll see how well I did this week...
