Paleo Week 1 Results, CFT, & Recipes

Nat and I started the Whole 9 30 Day Challenge (basically even stricter Paleo- no sweeteners even if natural like honey or agave, no coffee, etc). I've lost 1.5 lbs after the first week, my attitude about myself has improved significantly, & I'm tighter & haven't been bloated at all. I think Nat would say she feels the same. So far, the first 2 days were the toughest for me...the results of a sugar detox I'm sure! Riley's eating Paleo plus dairy & peanut butter, so that helps significantly that he requires no grains. I took pics of me the first day of the challenge but I'm going to wait til day 30 to post them.

Also, here are some favorite recipes that I've tried recently:
Egg Cradles
Tropical Macaroons

Spring Salad with Prosciutto & Grapefruit (I substituted bacon b/c I'm cheap)
Barefoot Contessa's Lobster Cobb Salad (I subbed tilapia & shrimp for lobster & left out the cheese)


Inspired by Jen, I did Crossfit Total this morning to see where I stand. My total was 395...
130 BS...10lbs off pr
190 DL...25lbs off pr
75 SP...reached pr.
