Day thirty...of thirty:)

After a good night's rest, I woke up this morning with tons of energy. Perfect for hitting the gym before work with squats, dead lifts, lunges, one leg burpees, abs, and interval training. It's no workout with Dee but at the end of the day my legs are tender so I am happy.

Breakfast: 1 cup coffee, 3 oz grilled chicken breast, 2 boiled eggs, 5 oven roasted sweet potato wedges, and a handful of blueberries.

Post workout meal: 6 oz grilled chicken breast, handful of blueberries.

Snack: 1 apple, 2 tablespoons of almond butter.

Lunch: 2 cups of egg drop soup with homemade chicken broth, shitake mushrooms, asparagus, yellow onions, pasilla peppers, and carrots.

Snack: 1 tablespoon of cashew butter, triple shot of espresso.

Dinner: 6 oz grilled chicken breast, 2 cups of mixed greens with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, 1 large carrot, 1 cup spaghetti squash, 3 strawberries, 1 apple, and a handful of mushrooms.

Snack: 6 oz grilled chicken breast, 1/2 cup mixed greens with balsamic vinegar.

I can now officially say that I have completed all thirty days of the 30 day paleo diet challenge.  Before this diet, I'm not sure that I actually knew what food tasted like without drowning it in hot sauce, salt, or condiments. I also couldn't imagine a whole month without rice, quinoa, booze, oatmeal, and greek yogurt. But I did it. If you had told me a year ago that I would have this much discipline and strength today, I would not have believed you. I am more motivated than ever to reach my health and fitness goals. I have changed a lot but still have a ways to go. That being said, I am going to continue on with the paleo diet. Bring on the jalapenos, hot sauce, almond, and coconut flour!
