Day 1 Paleo challenge eating and workout

 
 
 
 
I am ending the day satisfied with what I ate but I definitely need to learn how to cook some new dishes! I went a little heavy on the dried fruits and I dont think I was eating them because I was actually hungry.  They taste incredibly sweet to my new palate.  Tomorrow I am buying the ingredients for paleo fried chicken and sausage stuffed peppers.  I need some variety for sure!
 
Just realizing now I did not take a picture of my last meal which was my best.  I made some pretty decent sausage peppers and onions with a little bit of marinara sauce and it was good!
I drink 2 cups of water for every cup of coffee I drink.  I also fill this glass close to the top with almond milk and agave.
Whey protein shake.  The only dairy I am consuming.
Big Salad! Red peppers, onions, brocoli, baby spinach, tomatoes, sunflower seeds, carrots,3 pork sausage links and a tbsp of BBQ sauce
2 eggs, 2 sausage links, 1 whole red pepper, 1/4 onion.
Cashews.  Had about 3 handfuls like this throughout the day. I typically eat fruits and nuts by themselves because it helps with their digestion.
Turkish apricots. I ate almost 20 of them..  I consider fruits and nuts the "junk" food of the paleo diet.  When I say "junk" I mean foods that are high in sugar or fat.  The sugar from fruit, particularly easy to eat dried fruit, could possibly put extra weight on me.  I am not sure if that is actually true but since I will be exercising a little bit less the next few weeks I am not taking any chances lol.

For my first day back working out after my Friday upper back vacuuming injury I carried a 1 pound bottle of water up the ridge at Runyon.  If felt ok but I have to be careful how I step or it hurts my upper back a little bit.  I also iced both sides of my upper back 2x throughout the day.  Tomorow I may jump in the pool and see what that feels like.
