Paleo challenge: day 5

From Jan 1 – 31 I’m doing a strict paleo (Whole30) challenge with my CrossFit box. I decided to journal the month in food on here (in addition to normal posting) after getting a huge positive response on my Facebook page. I’m also going to detail the amount of sleep I got, the workout for the day and any other relevant notes. I’ll only detail drinks when it’s something other than water or tea, but note that I typically drink 80-100 ounces of water a day. I’ll link to recipes (either mine or other people’s) when applicable, but I don’t usually cook from recipes for myself so if you leave a comment asking for the recipe for something, there is none unless otherwise noted.

Notes for the day:

Weekends are tough. I watched Ulysses eat what was at least a 4 person serving of apple crisp in front of me at a restaurant while refusing to have a bite. I really wanted a damn bite. Also, I’m going through almond butter at an alarming rate. It’s my go to when I want “sweet”. Should probably work on that…

Sleep:

9.5 hours

Workout:

rest day

1/2 grapefruit
