Staying Motivated & Photo Diet

If you have read this before, you know that I reward myself weekly with "excercise/workout" themed gifts. 

Yesterday I purchased these little cuties:

Rainbow shoelaces to spice up my old nikes

and it did make them spicy.... I felt faster.. HA!

I also went grocery shopping today, which I LOVE!!!

Here is what was on my list to prepare me for my paleo challenge:

asparagus

red onion

hummus

lemon juice

quinoa

88% dark chocolate (its bitter)

coconut milk coffee creamer 

cashews

Ground chicken

I felt so HAPPY when I unloaded my groceries...

(the opposite of how I felt when I saw the total from whole foods)

Anyways, here is what I ate today:

Scrambled egg whites

Unpictured: pear for breakfast

Lunch: Bbq chicken, avacado, cucumber/tomato salad

Snack:

Dark chocolate covered almonds... Which really must not be that dark because the dark chocolate I just bought is VERY bitter

Dinner

Hamburger on a bed of grilled spinach, topped with 1/2 an avocado and complete with asparagus...Kind of a weird combo but I LOVED every bite!

I'm really hoping that this Paleo challenge will help me ACTUALLY lose weight, because I have only maintained for 3 weeks :(

Well until my W.O.D. tomorrow,

xoxo
