Day 1 = Success for Mae!

I think I like being a Paleo Princess! :)

I won't lie. I was crazy scared about starting this. Thinking I was going to have intense cravings for chic-fil-a, not be satisfied, or have a lack of sugar so I go on a binge.

After today all my worries have subsided and I'm excited to get a couple weeks in and start feeling the results (hopefully a SPIKE in energy!)

My first Paleo breakfast consisted of two Poached eggs (which I SUCK at poaching!) some strawberries, almonds, and coffee (of course with no sugar or cream OMG!)

Please note that it's on my green tree plate in honor of the point of Paleo! Eating from the earth! (Even though I think eating like cavemen is more fun to say)

It might not look like a lot, but I was very satisifed and energeized ready for the day! I had some more almonds and strawberries as a snack a bit later.


Next up was lunch! Chicken Fajita Salad. I don't think the pic does it justice.

Chicken was sauteed with Onions, Garlic, Bell Pepper, Cumin and Oregano. My house smelled...and still smells DELICIOUS! After everything was nice and soft I put half of the mix over a bed of red leaf lettuce with some Avocado slices and chopped tomatos.

Didn't even need dressing!!

For Dinner I had the remainder of the Fajita mix.

I also made some spaghetti sauce for tomorrow. So once my sauce was done I ate some in addition to my fajita leftovers. (Tomato Paste, Tomato Sauce, Mushrooms, Onions, Garlic, Oregano, Bay Leaves, Ground Turkey)

I also....was starting to crave a little sweetness so I googled Paleo Cookies and found a recipe using almond flour (that stuff is expensive!!).  The recipe called for Almond Flour, Egg, Vanilla, Honey (instead of sugar), Chocolate chips, I threw some hazelnuts and Cinnamon in there and some Baking Powder. And voila! Paleo Cookies! They were alright. :) Definately hit my sweet tooth.

I would consider today a success. I feel great already! I don't know if it's some sort of placebo effect. I plan on getting up in the morning to go run and am REALLY looking forward to eating my first ever Spaghetti Squash with my delicious Paleo Spaghetti Sauce! :D
