Day 29
Wow! Really day 29 already, only 2 more days to be strict. Like Michelle brought up yesterday, curious to hear what's around the corner for everyone on day 31. Plan on keeping it up, or happy to toss it out the window?
Any gains or loss to report, improvement in energy?
Have a great sunny Monday!

Day 23
Wow time actually flies! I can't believe there's only a week left. What a different experience for me this time. I can't believe I was so grumpy about it and quit on day 5 last time!
Interesting to hear of everyone's experience. Keep posting your feelings/thoughts/meals. We all have different reasons for taking this on, but the sharing and each other has really helped me going.
Happy Tuesday!

Day 22
One week left!!!
How is everyone feeling? Do you have more energy? Less sugar cravings? Feeling lean?
I am feeling good, but still not as good as I know I can. I am just going to push through this last week, focusing on more veggies, less nuts & fruit. It's hard though.....fruit is my fave :)
Not alot of posting over the weekend....if you are lurking, then post! If you fell off the wagon, fess up and commit to gettting back on!!

We bought new curtains for our bedroom yesterday....makes the room SO much darker, what a difference!! I had a great sleep :)
We also bought our own copy of Robb Wolf's "Paleo Solution", so Annie & Geoff you can finally ready Annie T's copy!! We will bring it to the gym tomorrow.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend....staying strong?

Day 19
I think I can say it for us all....TGIF!
Olivia is turning 9 today, we're off to Whistler for the weekend. Keep up the posting on the weekend and stay focus.
It's so good to hear that many of you want to go on for 60 days. I think for myself it is becoming more a new lifestyle than a 30 days challenge for sure. I am enjoying baking and trying new recipes.

Day 18
Happy Thursday gang, nice to see there's still lots of us hanging around.
Feeling a little better today, looking forward to breakfast to see if it goes down easy because I'm hungry!
Yesterday I had craving for a glass of milk...strange...maybe the heartburn. I love to hear how everyone is doing, don't forget to post recipes and share the worthy ones. Solo, your soup last night sounds delicious.
Have a great one!

Happy Wednesday!
So glad to see that everyone is still pushing through the challenge.....
Thanks for the macaroon recipe Ro - I'm sure that lots of people will be trying it out, sounds delicious!!
My headache is gone (for now) and I am looking forward to today's workout for some weird reason. Hope to see lots of you there!

Day 16
I am noticing that fewer and fewer people are posting their meals.....if you are lurking, join us! We are past halfway, stay strong to the end if you want to see true results!!
It takes our bodies several weeks to "detox" from all of the sugar, dairy & grains.....you won't feel the effects of this way of eating after doing it for a day or two....it might take a while. I personally am still not waking up feeling rested, and am still getting random headaches. But then I remember that I have only been eating clean for 15 days, after a lifetime of eating bad stuff!! I have to be patient :)

Day 15
Half way today!
I resisted temptations easily last night, I brought some biltong with me and grabbed a handful of fruits there. Wasn't even too tempted by the one bite brownies. Didn't seem worth it last night.
Hope everyone is feeling great, or turning the corner right now to more energy.

Day 14
Day 14, I smell halfway!
I hope everyone had a lovely Saturday. The wildest thing Scott and I thought to do while Olivia was at her sleepover at auntie Annie was order a movie on demand and get 10hrs of sleep! Really reaping the benefit of sleep this year, great chapter on sleeping in Robb Wolf 'Paleo Solution'.
Can't wait to read what everyone is eating/feeling today.
Have a great Sunday!

Dessert Demons...
Really good blog post from Whole 9 today...
I think that many of us deal with this.....needing "something sweet" after a meal (I know that I do!!)
Interesting that it's really just a mental thing, our brains have been told that we need dessert in order to be satisfied....and on the paleo challenge the dessert may show up as a banana etc.
Check it out!

Day 11
Hey everyone!
Day 11....how is everyone feeling? More energy yet? Sugar cravings gone?
I am doing well, eating more fruit & nuts that I would like, but am working on it! I have a snowshoe/fondue night with my team from work tonight.....should be interesting. I have packed lots of paleo snacks. It will be fun to pull out my bags of beef jerky & almonds while everyone else dips cake into chocolate....
Stay strong! Post all meals & thoughts to comments.

Day 10 already. Anyone else feeling like they are prepping a lot of food in the morning? If I am prepared this paleo thing is easy and quite tasty I must say! But it does take some preparation.
Enjoy the not quite snow day everyone! Drive safe!

Hey everyone! We survived the weekend (well, most of us did...), great work!!
I personally feel great. Not "leaping" out of bed in the morning yet, but feel like my energy is really consistent throughout the day. And my skin feels way better too....
Post meals to comments, have a great day.

Day 6
Day 6, in many ways this is easier than I expected, last time I attempted this I had failed badly by day 5. I haven't seen a huge drop in energy yet. But I do feel slightly grumpy every time I wake up to another breakfast of eggs.
Have a great day! Weekends are a little tougher, stay strong, post meals to comment and read all your food labels!
Annie :)

Read your labels...
Hey guys,
Thought this was an interesting post from Whole 9.....you may want to check your almond milk etc., chances are it isn't "paleo". Lots of weird ingredients that you can't pronounce is a sign that it's not real food!
http://whole9life.com/2010/05/read-your-labels/
Obviously everyone is going to make their own choices here, just wanted to share :)
The Whole 9 peeps are pretty strict (for 30 days) and then they let you loosen up.

Day 5-how's everybody feeling?
Day 5 breakfast:
I am already sick of eggs....wonder why I can eat PB everyday of my life, but can't handle egss more than 2 days.
Trying something new; morning shake w a frozen banana, unsweetened almond milk and sunflower butter.
It was delicious, but the two year Zone vet in me realizes it was lacking in protein. Post 30 days challenge I would round it up with protein powder.
Have a good day everyone! Post meals and feelings to comment.

Jenny, thanks for all the improvements.

Paleo Challenge 2011 edition
Hi guys!
Let's open up the forum again for a brand new 30 days challenge. Jenny and I will update daily for Chris.
Post what you ate for the day, any cool recipes you tried and want to share or struggles you may have.
We are all in this together.
After eating 4 lbs of cheese last night, Scott and I were happy to get this healthy eating going, but I forgot to jump on the scale this morning, I want to see if my weight moves one way or the other.
So for day 1 for Scott and I:
Breakfast:
Fruit salad (banana-kiwi-pomegranate-apples+grapes)w eggs and bacon w black coffee.
Lunch:
Salad w salami and chicken w apple, red peppers and cucumbers. Olive oil and lemon juice dressing.
Snack:
Larabar
Dinner:
Roasted chicken w herbs and seasonings w roasted asparagus, parsnips and turnips. Baked blueberries w almonds and unsweetened coconut for dessert (from Everyday Paleo delish).
Felt good, we ate a lot! I think I was concerned with being hungry and overdid it.
