The scale was good to me this morning, weighing in at 129 pounds. That’s a 6 pound drop from one week ago. For the most part I have stayed true to my Paleo/Primal diet. My only fault was a Gin and Tonic at dinner one night and I’m not sorry, sometimes a girl just needs a drink!
In 7 days I consumed 5 steaks. Yup 5. I BBQ’d a huge batch so I would have extra for breakfast this week. I will post that recipe shortly. Steak is my favorite breakfast food. I must be a farm girl! There is no going hungry on Paleo or even a Adkins based diet (lifestyle). Meat, Meat and more meat with an occasional salad to offset the balance a bit. 🙂
I have documented my weight, carbs and calories over thee last week. there were a few days i overate my calories (enter.. Gin and Tonic), and it reflected in lack of weight loss the next day. However, overall I’m happy to be out of the 130’s and back into the 120’s.
I do not expect to loose another whole 7 pounds this coming week, as you always loose the water weight first and with my Lupus water retention seems to play a big roll for me.
I have been using THIS app to document my food intake and daily weight. For the most part, I am happy with it, though, I would like to see it graph weight vs calories/carbs. I have read other having success with THIS app. So I may download it and try it out.
