Confessions of a Paleo Yaz







I have a confession to make....I am a compulsive scale user. A scale-a-holic. Sometimes I weigh myself three times a day. This is not as sick as it sounds...only one weigh in is for true weight check purposes. The other two consist of me checking my water weight loss before and after a WOD (purely for shits and giggles). So you can imagine how different an experience this week has been without my scale - which I left at Doogies house after the initial weigh ins. As well as things have been going I can't help but think "Surely I have lost 5, maybe 10 pounds by now! I mean I have stuck to this paleo thing for 3 whole days!". But sadly (or not) I have not been able to check. Ashley warned me to stay away from the scale for two weeks. Unsinn! (Nonsense in german)! Impossible!! Though the more I think about it the less inclined I am to hurry my scale home. It's not about weight after all....

All in all Day 3 was solid. Not having any cravings and have felt pretty full throughout the day. Also took the affirmative step of telling my HR department that I will require a gluten and dairy free meal at Tru next Friday. That was a tough one but as we all know - preparation is the key!

Here's the skinny:

Breakfast was one egg and one pice of bacon. Was able to wolf this down without much problem.

Lunch was meatballs and more meatballs! But this time with a picture! It's hard to make the plate look nice with microwave splatter. And next time, I will be sure to add more sauce.

Beck and I must have had a mind meld for dinner- or maybe it was last week's autumnal weather but I also made some Shepherd's Pie. Made mine with beef and bacon (yes! bacon!) It was fan-freaking-tastic.

Day 3 = Huge Success. I already imagine myself with Heather Burgeron's body (minus the outie belly button. I like my innie).

  1. Yaz,

    I also have a scale addiction. Its bad news. I am going to hide mine for a week and see if that helps. Also, I apologize for not bringing the scale back upstairs, sorry! Afterall, just like you said, its not about the weight, its about the fat (that is going to disappear in no time!).
