I didn't think I would make it this far but Day 5 was a success.
Eating healthy does take more time than grabbing the quick bag of chips or candy bar from the corner store. But shouldn't you invest time in your body considering you only get one?
What you put in your mouth actually matters. As they say Abs are made in the kitchen, at least thats where it starts. Remember that the gym is still extremely important. Don't over look that.

I got fancy for breakfast with a few crepes. These are high in protein- a great way to start your day, and they are pretty delicious too. A light/fluffy crepe you won't fell the fatty carb bulge.
Breakfast Paleo Crepes
Ingredients
2 eggs
2 egg whites
3 T coconut flour
1 cup coconut milk
1T coconut oil
a pinch of salt
The coconut flour will tend to sink and clump to the bottom so as you combine ingredients sift the flour.
1. combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl
2. Pour mixture onto an oiled pan (coconut oil).
3. brown both sides.
* these are delicate because of the egg whites, so be careful when flipping. Don't make them too big*
I didn't use jam because that has a lot of sugar so I pureed strawberries and blueberries to pour on top.
Friday night is date night and we wanted to go out of dinner. I didn't think it was possible to eat Paleo but I did okay. I did a little research on places that people eat while on the Paleo diet and one was Chipotle. They use I high quality of meat, so its just up to you when it comes to the choices.
I ordered a "bowl" with no rice or beans. I ordered chicken, hot sauce, pico, guac, and lots of lettuce. It was delightful.
* remember when eating out to look at the ingredients and ask questions to those taking your order. If you can, do a little research before you go out to eat. Since you are paying them to make your food- don't be afraid to make requests; ask for no dairy options, using different oils and such. Restaurants are very aware and sensitive of food allergies. Eating out doesn't have to be a "No-Never type of thing. Enjoy *
We were at a mall and there were carts with delightful looking macaroons, yogurt stands, and even a girls scout cookie booth. The girl scout cookie booth was very tempting considering I love girl scout cookies and I was a girl scout for 13 years. <3
Evan got strawberry ice cream in a waffle cone. It looked so so good.
Carry snacks with you to ensure that you aren't starving. Also when you see those fresh baked double-double chocolate chip cookies you have more willpower to keep walking.
Snacks to keep in your bag:

apple slices
pumpkin seeds

When I got home I made a rich chocolate pudding to eat during Hawaii Five-0, which by the way is one of my favorite shows. LOVE IT.

Throughout the day I kept the snacks going with

Paleo Fact of the Day:
*Soy is not Paleo! Why? Soy comes from a soy bean, which is legume from East Asia. Soy milk, soy sauce, tofu, edamame, and some protein powders contain are SOY*
