Day 3 - homemade fruit rollups and 'clean' Slim Jims :)

Writing this on the 4th morning of this challege.  I didnt do any training because I wanted to fully rest my upper back and that included not doing any long walks.  Today I am going to take a long walk and carry 3 lbs of water.  Nutrition is going well!  I am walking around just the slightest bit hungry most of the day and my energy levels are extremelly high.  I am fantasizing about pizza and ice cream in only the smallest ways.  I've eaten enough of that stuff to last 2 lifetimes and am sure I can make it 21 days without!  Here's some of my main meals.  I am eating my larger and heavier meals in the AM and relying on fruits and nuts the remainder of the day.  I never ate this many vegetables in my life.  I am eating more greens and fruits than most vegetarians I know!

First batch of homemade fruit rollups straight out of my new dehydrator!  95% fresh strawberries, 5% honey.

Prepping the vegetarian breakfast. 2 eggs, 1/2 chopped pepper, 1/4 onion, 2 big carrots and 3 garlic cloves.

Vegetarian eggs ready to go!  Of course I always add tapatio sauce :)

Skipped the meat in the AM so I could add some tasty sausages and bacon to my afternoon Big Salad!  Spinach lettuce, peppers, onins, carrots, brocoli, tomatoes a little BBQ sauce.

A paleo friendly (and low sugar/glycemic idex) snack.  Sweet potato fries cooked in s small amount of olive oil and fresh garlic.

My only cheat so far.  Not sure why I bought this.  I've been pigging out on paleo foods the past 3 days and nothing gave me an upset stomach like this soda did!  Going to stay off it for the remainder of the challenge.

There are some tasty looking paleo foods available online but they are expensive!  These grass-fed beef sticks I ordered are good but way too pricey.  After shipping each pack of 2 costs about 3.50. They would be a good deal if each stick had 10 grams of protein like I initially believed.  Turns out that they are 5 grams protein/stick which makes them a little too expensive for every day use.   They tasted like Slim Jims without the grease.
