I am still going strong peeps! :) Sean is too! Weirdly, I am proud of the fact that I ate a tiny piece of cake a couple of days ago at my brother's birthday celebration and it didn't ruin me. Imagine that! I actually am not craving cake or sweets anymore than I was prior to eating that few bites of cake.
I am still not working out though. :/ I called Anytime Fitness today though to see about a trial membership to see if I will like it. So that counts as a step in the right direction, right?! I am excited to start running and hoping I can do some other forms of exercise as well and will have another option for working out besides running outside once it gets super cold out.
And I still am not stepping on the scale. I love not being so concerned about the scale. I can tell in my clothes that the weight is coming off and that makes me happy and keeps me going. And I like Paleo eating. It's expensive...I don't like THAT part. We are able to eat a pretty big variety of things and I am a huge fan of meat, veggies and fruits so it's a good diet for me. Oh, and eggs...I eat eggs pretty regularly. I miss desserts. I miss dairy...I miss cheese and milk. And chocolate...I miss chocolate. Not so much that I am going crazy though. And I plan to hopefully get to a point where every once in a great while, I can eat a little of those things as a treat.
Mostly, I FEEL good eating clean. I feel like I am putting things in my body that are good for it. I haven't had a headache in WEEKS! That is so worth everything! And I am losing weight...being healthy is the goal and with that will come weight loss...at least that's the plan!
It's been just over a month since we started eating Paleo...Sean has lost over 15lbs (all the while, never giving up beer:)) and I have no idea how much I've lost, which I am FINE with! We both feel great and are enjoying this diet. Most often, it is actually pretty easy to do!

What do you eat for meals?? Suggestions ... What's a typical week for you eating?
At the beginning of the week, I usually prepare a few chicken breasts and a couple of large inexpensive steaks. I cut half of the steak into strips for salads and half of the chicken into strips for salads as well. Then I have prepared food in the fridge for lunch. I usually eat salad with steak or chicken 2-3 times a week. Other times I eat leftovers from dinner the night before for lunch and another option that I sometimes do is saute some veggies in coconut oil with some sea salt and pepper and garlic. I also will eat the steaks and chicken breasts I didn't cut up along with some raw veggies and fruit. Breakfast is usually fruit...a banana, an apple, or if I am really hungry or doing it as a brunch and want to fill up more to hold off until supper, I will eat eggs and sometimes bacon. I snack on pistachios, almonds, cashews or fruit usually. Dinner varies, but most often it is some form of meat either grilled or fried (battered in a mixture of almond and coconut flours and fried in coconut oil) or sometimes bakes. We do roasted veggies A LOT...throw any veggies on a cookie sheet, drizzle with a little olive oil, sea salt and pepper and roast at 425 for 10 minutes, stir or flip the veggies over and put them back in for 7-10 minutes more. We do this with sweet potatoes all the time! I have a few paleo soups that I have found on pinterest that I like as well. Hope this helps a bit! I may do a more detailed blog post on this at some point as I've had several people ask. :)
