Day 2 was another successful day of Paleo eating! In fact, I actually cut out a portion of the snack I'd planned for, due to the fact that I wasn't hungry. Other then that, I stuck to the original meal plan I'd created. Now, if I could just add exercise back into my routine, I'd be ecstatic! Unfortunately though, after a long day at school, and a lot of walking around, my leg injury seems to be acting up again. I find it to be somewhat discouraging, but ultimately I'm not giving up hope that it'll feel better soon.
Cravings: The unhealthy food cravings were a little less intense today, but I'll admit that wanted some tortilla chips, with cheese, when I arrived home from school. This use to be my typical snack, (I love cheese) but I'm hoping that after a few days the cravings will be gone. Instead of snacking, I turned my attention to gum! Specifically, Extras Mint Chocolate Chip gum, which I swear is a lifesaver!
Menu for Day 2:
Breakfast: Apple Cinnamon Chicken Hash
Lunch: 1 1/2 - 2 cups, leftover Pork Loin with Veggies
Snack: 2 oz. shredded chicken with 100 calorie pack of almonds
Dinner: Rotisserie chicken, steamed broccoli, spinach salad with sunflower seeds and a tsp. of balsamic vinegar
