Paleo - Week 3

Week 3

Total weight loss: 

Erin -  5 pounds

Zach -  15 pounds

Pros:

1. We went out to dinner for our anniversary and stayed true to paleo. We went to Texas T-bone.  We both ordered salads (their salads are amazing), steak, and steamed vegetables.  After dinner, we went to Red Mango to cheat.  While we were eating the yogurt, we both decided that it wasn't worth it.  It just didn't taste as good as we were expecting.  Afterward, we both had minor stomach aches.  It's amazing that two weeks of eating this way would make that much difference.
2. Zach's parents have started eating paleo, and they are loving it.  With them doing it too, we share recipes and ideas.  It makes the whole thing easier to have others doing it with us.
3. This is going to sound weird, but both Zach and I have noticed that our teeth feel cleaner.  We think this is probably because we are eating good food and no sugar.

Cons:  

1. I was discouraged that I didn't lose weight this week. Zach didn't like that he didn't lose much either.  My primary goal has never been to lose weight, but it was still hard to see no progress in this way.  Zach keeps telling me that I need to be keeping track of inches instead of pounds.
