What I love best today about my personal 90 day challenge?
- I can eat fruit and not worry. When I am in challenges against others, my competitiveness comes out and I want to loose the most weight I can. Often times I will cut out fruit all together. Since I am only competing against myself, fruit is on my table; in moderation of course!
- I can experiment. Dr. Windley taught me something at our last paleo challenge. The more you eat, the more weight you will loose. Backup...what?!? So I tried it out because the scale hadn't budged for a week. Viola! He was right! So this time I'm trying to make sure that I eat a lot throughout the day. I am trying to not limit my snacks.
Yesterday (Day #3) I had a bit more fruit than I usually eat. But no worries....this is a long chipper. 90 days. The fruit I had today won't matter tomorrow if I fall off the wagon because I need something sweet. Besides...fruit was part of my dinner meal plan and that never happens!
Breakfast: I had trouble with my alarm this a.m. and so no jog for me but did start with this yummy beeakfast! 2 eggs, 1 slice of bacon, 1/2 avocado.

Lunch was a combination of leftovers. A chicken thigh, chicken leg, and the end of the Cauli-Rice. I realized I was feeling guilty about eating the Cauli-Rice and I had to stop and think why. I determined I was thinking of it like mashed potatoes instead of a good for you vegetable. I need to get away from that habit! Cauli-Rice is good for you!
The boys and I spent the afternoon at the pool. We came back starving. Looking through the fridge I settled on leftover taco meat and celery. It hit the spot and curved my appetite quickly!
Dinner was so awesomely yummy! Make sure you "like" Food is a Drug #Paleo because I shared the dressing recipe for the arugula -watermelon salad there. It was a great combo of oil, vinegar, mustard, and orange juice. The area I live in is known for producing great sweet beautiful watermelon. If I owned a restaurant this would definitely be a seasonal salad. The protein was a pesto chicken that cooked in the crock pot all day. I'm not a pesto person but gave it a try and it was so good!
Day #3 chalked up as a success after a night snack of apple and fresh almond butter! Food is a Drug.
