I mentioned some goals in this post and this post. So... how am I doing? Let's see:
- I'm still drinking a lot of water, but I've slacked off some the last few days. Need to get back on track.
- I haven't used artificial sweeteners in over 3 weeks! This has by far been the best change I have made! I have had sweets a few times, but I count them on one hand (3 times actually!). I hardly crave any sweets anymore!
- I quit using my fitness pal, so I have no idea how many grams of fiber or protein I am eating. I know I am getting more fiber though, because I am eating several servings of fruits and veggies a day :)
- I have only purchased grass-fed beef in the last 3 weeks. This one is easy. Even Hubby says he doesn't ever want me to buy meat at the grocery store again!
- I have tried SEVERAL new foods in the last few weeks, including:
- guacamole
- zucchini (grilled with tomato, onion, garlic)
- zucchini bread (paleo)
- I have avoided eating almost any processed foods. Other than ketchup, mustard, mayo and ranch dressing. I do plan to make my own mayo and ranch dressing eventually...
- I have had hardly any grains. I had chips at the mexican resturaunt twice and fried pickles once. I think that about sums up my grain consumption over the last few weeks.
- I have reduced my dairy intake to cheese once or twice a week. No milk, no yogurt...
- I bought my first jar of ORGANIC coconut oil!
- I bought my first few dozen cage-free eggs and even a package of cage-free, hormone-free chicken breasts!
- I've been reading a lot of material and purchased a lot of paleo cookbooks. Also, joined a local paleo/zone recipe sharing group on fb!
- Been buying more organic food/produce.
- trying more new veggies
- getting the courage to go gluten free for 21 days (my doc says it's the best way to see if I have a sensitivity or not)
- pushing my self when I run or workout. I think I did a good job of that here, but I need to do that more often! Like at least 3 times a week.
