Day 1: slightly skeptical

i consider myself a fairly healthy person. i bike a mile to and from work 5x a week out of necessity, and for pleasure run 5-10 miles and strength train at least 4 times a week. i was lucky enough to be programmed with a disdain for fast food and am only struck by a sweet tooth every few weeks. for the better part of the past 6 years, i have been what i thought was health-conscious and fit. however, i struggle with bouts of lethargy, caffeine-headaches, over eating, and general disappointment with my body image and strength capabilities.

having decided to go paleo (after my fair share of research) im already kicking myself for some of the no-brainer mistakes ive been making. my current diet's protein consists of a tuna salad sandwich twice a week. and although from pure palate-preference i stay away from most things like pasta, rice and french bread, i make up for it in triscuits, whole-grain cereals, and sushi binges.

im enamored with the success stories flooding the paleo-world, and although i am finding myself slightly skeptical (eat lots of bacon?!), i am totally on board and excited for this challenge.


Day 1:

breakfast: one farm-raised, cage-free chicken egg, one slice of bacon, fresh cantaloupe & grapes, almonds
dinner: atlantic salmon seasoned with thyme & ginger, one egg, sweet potato fries, and a warm bacon, spinach, avocado salad.
