Paleo Challenge Numero Dos

[dwideman]

Cavechick I cannot eat almonds, so I use coconut flour mainly. I use either bananas or dates as a sweetener.

Too Much Baking

I have done the paleo challenge once before, but didn't really get too into the baking.  Now, I have discovered it.  Haha.  My question is, how much is reasonable? I have made a banana loaf and well, to be honest, went a little nuts, haha.  I am thinking a half of a piece with lunch and maybe a muffin after dinner.  Any experienced paleo people want to help out an amateur?

Set 1 of burpees completed.  Need I say it.  I hate burpees.

Sugar Detox

Pigged out on sugar last night, which I don't even normally eat, all because I won't be able to eat it for a month.  Haha.  Feeling the pain.  Sugar and my body don't get along well.  What else is new?

Snack help

So I have a bad habit Before bed every night I eat almond butter on an apple. Sometimes a banana too. This was a Pre Paleo diet habit that I have decided to try and kick. Maybe once a week is okay, but every night is too much. So, I am looking for other Pre bed time snack ideas as I wake up super hungry as it is. Any ideas?

Banana

Currently at a conference and, although I brought some food with me, I am finding it difficult to find food to eat. As you can see I have had a ton of fruit, especially bananas. I performed only one minute of plank, although I did it in the hotel lobby, so I think it should count for more. Haha.

** Sarah, I found it in the organic section of a grocery store in Keswick, I think it is called So Delicious cultured coconut milk (Sorry I still don't know how to respond to comments)

[dwideman]

I apologize for taking over everyones' tumblr.  I don't know how to use it yet and I do not know how to respond to messages people have left.

1. As I am gluten intolerant, I luckily already have the GF baking soda and powder.

2.  I was also thinking of adding tuna or chicken to my salad.

3. Egg yolks make me sick.  Unfortunately.  As do many other things.

Again, sorry for all of the messages.  Still trying to figure out this paleo thing.  Not to mention this Tumblr thing.

Thanks for the tips everyone.

Change My Ways

So I have always known that I am not a huge meat eater.  That mixed with the fact that I cannot eat beef, food intolerance surprise surprise, means a lack of protein.  I planned my lunch to include avocado, but apparently that is not enough protein.  I actually have really low protein and take pills for it, but I should still be trying to add more natural protein into my diet.  Lesson learned,  I will find some eggs whites or chicken to put on my salad tomorrow. 

Thanks for letting me know everyone.
