Paleo - Week 4

Week 4

Total weight loss: 
Erin -  7 pounds
Zach -  19 pounds

Pros:
1. I think I could repeat every positive that I have put on the weeks before.  We are feeling great mentally and physically.  We like how our bodies are feeling and we feel good about ourselves for eating this way.
2. Even with cheating on Friday and Saturday for Zach's reunion, we both lost weight this week.
3. We read on a paleo blog, that in eating this way, you will have a lot less food, especially vegetables, go to waste.  We are definitely seeing that.  Our food is all getting eaten instead of going bad.

Cons:  
1. The main negatives are the same as well.  It is expensive and time-consuming.
2. We also are struggling to decide what we are going to do with Monroe in a week when she goes back to daycare.  Do we have Mikki feed her what she normally would, or do we pack a paleo breakfast, lunch, and snack each day?

Favorite new recipes:
salsa beef with spaghetti squash, sweet potato pancakes, pulled pork, blueberry muffins, mashed cauliflower, banana nut pancakes, 

This is my last weekly post.  I will do an occasional update if things change.  We plan to continue to eat paleo and hopefully make it a lifestyle change.
