Day 4 of Paleo | Cravings Started to Kick In

Lunch: Mixed Green Salad w/ sunflower seeds and apricots with balsamic vinegar

It wasn’t till this evening when my boyfriend started to cook dinner and the cravings started to kick in. He’s not on the Paleo bandwagon with me (yet) . He was cooking us chicken but for his side he was making pasta with broccoli and alfredo sauce…really!? The smell kicked in and made my salad look very less desirable, but I bit the bullet and enjoyed my Spinach stuff chicken and mixed green salad. Hoping this lil craving ordeal will move along and not taunt me.

Food for the day |

Breakfast | banana and iced black coffee

Snack | 1 packet of tuna w a miniature English cucumber
Lunch | mixed green salad with apricots and balsamic vinegar
Dinner | spinach stuffed chicken w/ a salad with sunflower seeds, apricots and balsamic vinegar

Up at the Crack of Dawn

Guess who was up at 430 this morning? This girl! I tried to go back to bed for a lil but continued to toss and turn and decided to get my ass out of bed and start my a.m. workout early at 24 Hour Fitness.

Gym Start time: 520am

Gym End Time: 630am

I pretty much follow a similar regiment everyday and try to switch up  the weights so my body isn’t accustomed to the EXACT thing every day.

Things to bring to the gym: Bottle of water, hand towel, and iPod

Todays workout:

15-20min of intense cardio on the elliptical to start w/ high resistance.

4 x 20 on Circuit training | there’s about 12 pieces in the circuit and then I use the ab crunch machine and triceps-dip machine

Ended with 10 min cool down on the Elliptical| again kept the resistance high and for the last 3 minutes drop the resistance a lil and pumped it out. I went through a  second bottle of water at the gym, and sweated my tush off!

Now that I’m home I’m going to have about 8oz of Chobani Plain greek yogurt w/ a bottle of water, 1 womans multi vitamin, a folic acid pill and get started on my work and try and get back to the gym for an afternoon workout.
