Day 53/54

Here's a recipe that Kelly was telling me about at the gym the other day. It's for lemon blueberry muffins. The blueberries could also be substituted with any other fruit, such as cherries, apricots, apples, or pears. I will be trying these muffins as soon as I get to the store to get some blueberries. (not like I wasn't there twice this weekend) I tried out a coconut milk ice cream, and it didn't turn out tasting like I would have liked. I will have to try again and let you guys know how it turns out.

Day 52

Day 52

I wanted to post this article as the end of the 60 day challenge has come closer. This article is from Robb Wolf and talks about how to continue being Paleo without the guidance and rules of the challenge. Not on purpose, but usually Little Dana and I go into fat kid mode and start dreaming of everything that we want to eat on day 31 or day 61, or whatever. We usually narrow it down to just one ice cream or a slice of pizza and allow ourselves to have it at the end of the challenge. Most of the time, I will eat the cheat and realize that it wasn't even good, there have even been times when I got to the planned cheat day and didn't even want to cheat. The goal for everyone is not to go crazy on Day 61. All that hard work for 60 days was not for nothing. If you go crazy with the carbs and sugars following the end of the challenge, then you are going to start back at one with those nasty sugar cravings and carb flu. Finding a balance that works in your everyday life is the key. For instance, adding creamer back into your coffee, or ketchup with your burger is not going to kill you.

Day 51

Day 51
Just a clarification. If you eat two separate foods from the same category, this does count as a loss of two separate points. ;)  Yes, I am a calling you out Matthew Baran.

Which of these benefits, or any other have you experienced towards the end of this 60 day challenge?

Day 48

Today is Day 48, that means only 12 more days for those of you who have managed to hang on. (or for those of us who have just made a $20 donation these past two months). Sorry I haven't had a post in a while, I've been busy with the end of school and some cakes. (not eating them though, but maybe a little). Yesterday at the store I bought coconut milk to try and figure out a Paleo ice cream recipe, so I'll let you know how that goes in the next few days.

Just a short announcement. I'm going to the Ronald McDonald House next weekend, Sunday June 17th. I'm going to cook dinner and do some kind of activity. Let me know if any of you have any ideas for an activity or want to come to help make dinner.

Day 43/44

Were getting closer to the end of the 60 days, and hopefully you all are starting to embrace this new lifestyle. Here's an article I found that gives responses to just about every stupid and unintelligible question you will ever be asked about eating grain free.
