14-day Paleo Progress Report - Life in the Green House

I cheated. Not just once, three times to be exact. Once on Tuesday evening on a tiny piece of carrot cake. My grandmother said she hadn’t made that carrot cake in ten years. I would probably think that was an exaggeration but if you know my Nanny then you know that figure is pretty much right on. The expression, mind like a steel trap, was probably coined by her and I couldn’t take the chance on waiting ten more years to try her carrot cake. And then I ate two candy corn M&M’s while getting ready for Susannah’s shower on Friday (Rachel was the enabler). And then there was the shower and I won’t even speak of the offenses that occurred there in the way of my Paleo eating.
But today is a new day. This week is a new week. And I’ve made it my goal to eat better than ever and to work out more than I have been. Hopefully big results are in order.
Here’s how the numbers look:

Day 1 weight: 149.6

Day 8 weight: 143.8

Day 14 weight: 141.6

Total loss: 8.3

I didn’t take pictures of food this week but I still plan on giving you meal plan for the week. Hopefully, I’ll get that documented this week. I wanted to share a few yummy things with you that I did eat this week.

First up, buffalo chicken lettuce wraps. I posted this a while back and I told you that I made homemade Ranch dressing to put on the lettuce wraps. I just left the dressing off to make it Paleo friendly, used Gluten Free buffalo sauce and shredded chicken. I just cook the chicken with the buffalo sauce in the crock pot on low for a few hours, put it in the stand mixer for a few minutes to shred the chicken and put it into lettuce.

I also made the Paleo Pumpkin Muffins. I was surprised that the consistency was very similar to a real muffin but I felt like the flavor was a little off. I’m trying them again tonight so I’ll have an updated recipe for you sometime soon.

Here’s a run-down of dinner last week:Monday- Grilled chicken and mixed fruitTuesday- dinner with Nanny and Papaw, fresh veggies from the garden and meatballsWednesday- Buffalo chicken lettuce wrapsThursday- soup from Panera (since I was out shopping with mom)Friday- Grilled filet, corn and green beans with out neighbors
