for potatoes, such as: sweet potatoes, parsnips, celery root, rutabaga, turnips and kolrabi. I didn't even know those things existed a couple years ago and I am still discovering new things I love today!Food is an adventure, embrace it! Just be sure to share your moments of glory and defeat in the comments below:)

Sto: Breakfast: turkey chili/1 apple/1 orange/green tea.
What is that nasty looking thing you're eating, Diso?
Amy B-fast: 3 eggs, two roasted tomatoes, 2 slices nitrate free bacon, sauteed spinach. Mint tea
Lunch: Left over chicken fajitas, sliver of avocado,10 cherry tomatoes, green tea.
I almost stopped by foster's freeze and got a dip cone, until I remembered I am on the paleo challenge. Duh! Not Winning, if I do that!!
That's me finishing off a leg of lamb! The other pic I had was a bit too graphic, I'll post it if I can find it again:)
For breakfast had scrambled eggs and turkey bacon from Rainbow Acres with a whole avocado.
Heading home for lunch, skirt steak with sweet potatoes fried in coconut oil:)
Sto: Lunch: Ridiculously large spinach salad with chicken, eggs, mandarin oranges. Took forever to get through it.
Diso: I think I remember the other pic of your "scrumptious" leg of lamb. Yikes.
Had a couple ounces of organic herb turkey breast, and the leftovers from my delectable green smoothie (serious. they are the key).
Lunch with my boss, he wanted MEXICAN! Ugh - I had chicken fajita meat w/peppers onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, a dab of guacamole and some salsa. I hate being so fresh on a challenge and having to eat out - but it was the best choice for sure and still paleo (though questionably zone)...
CRose - One of my favorite eating out meals is straight up carnitas or carne asada with a fat side of guacamole and salad. Love it! Great too for late nights out as mexican joints are always open!
Sto: Afternoon snack: Left-over turkey chili/left over lunch salad/1 orange.
Liz: yesterday I had to go to VEGAS of all places for work. What a great way to kick off the challenge! I made 2 scrambled eggs + broccoli for breakfast and then headed to the airport with a poached chicken breast, 3 c. broccoli, & 1/2 c. walnuts and an apple. Ate everything but the walnuts by the time I went to a work dinner, where I had 6 oysters and a plate of sashimi (no veggies). Is shellfish OK? I'm assuming yes....
Breakfast: 2 egg scrambled with onions, SD tomatoes, spinach, bacon and avacado.
Lunch: Left-overs from dinner. Cajun chicken breast with a side of brussel sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower roasted with garlic and bacon pieces. I was still hungry so I had a 1/2 cup of coconut milk with blueberries and walnuts.
Snack before CF: Apple
Dinner: Same as lunch but with a baked sweet potato. No coconut milk parfait.
Late night snack: 1 orange. (I miss my dark chocolate)
Breakfast: 2 egg whites, 2 eggs & olive oil. (again)
Lunch: steamed cauliflower, 1-1/2 free range turkey burgers, 1 avocado. (I cook only a couple of days a week, so I eat the same food for several days in a row. I also get a bit overwhelmed trying to cook anything new. I want to use the ground bison that I got from the meat order and do some sort of sloppy joe with it that I can put on veggies. I found a few recipes online, but if anyone has a recommendation, let me know!)
Dinner: Steak salad at Corral Tree Cafe
Snack: turkey burger pieces and two apple. (I really was craving something sweet or a glass of wine, but I ate an extra apple instead. It's paleo, but not zone)
No workout today. I got home too late and tired:-(
Ended with a Chipotle salad, only lettuce, double meat and double guac. I love the confused look on their face when they try to ring me in. Finished day with a scoop of SFH whey protein.
Liz-absolutely, shellfish gooood!
Caroline-I'm suure there are a ton of delish recipes for paleo sloppy joes. Find one that looks good, has a lot of reviews with the highest rating and follow it to the letter! Can't go wrong!
Sto: Dinner: beef & broccoli
Julie: Started the day with coffee, an orange and almonds. Lunch was chicken breast/wing on the bone, a small side salad (with olive oil, vinegar and lemon) and a side of fruit.
Then for a pre-gym snack I had another orange and two hard boiled eggs (minus the yolk) and a few almonds.
This was a surprisingly shocking combo to a few of my coworkers -- out of the four people who walked into the kitchen while I peeled the orange and eggs three of them stopped to say "are you eating an orange WITH hard boiled egg?" to which I replied "yeah, why, is that weird?"
For dinner I had a steak and spinach salad with broccoli, diced orange pepper, tomato, mushrooms, avocado and a some raisins.
Then about an hour later I saw Jamie's post on this blog about the bacon/avocado sandwiches and that made me feel hungry again because it looked so tasty (or maybe I was hungry because of the sugar withdrawal...)
So, first I lamented over the fact that I don't have any bacon in my house and then (instead of going to the store late at night to buy bacon) decided to cut up a tomato with a bit of cucumber and another hard boiled egg... topped it with some flax oil and vinegar and had that for dessert (a.k.a salad the sequel).
Tuesday:
breakfast: 1 hard boiled egg, 2 strips bacon, 4 strawberries, 1 c. black coffee (still in vegas)
lunch: 2 hard boiled eggs, apple
snack: 1/4 c. walnuts
dinner (home finally!): small salmon filet at home with dijon/white wine vinegar sauce, sauteed spinach with garlic, green undressed salad
...surprisingly I'm not really 'craving' anything but kind of feel like I'm in a bit of a fog.
