Day Numero Uno!

Today was a fantastic day!!! I am absolutely loving the challenge of cooking new things. So far, I haven't missed anything. I even ate a "taco" for lunch substituting a lettuce leaf instead of tortilla which I felt like I would hate. I also didn't miss the cheese or sour cream because I made a delicious pico and slapped on some sliced avocado. I feel really good and so far I have drank five pints of water to meet my goal of eight or more.

My exercise routine has increased... and by that I mean it now exists. I started a squat challenge my friend posted on Facebook today where each day the number you do increases until the last day you are at 200+ squats. (OMG) The first day, today, you start with 50. I got through those with burning legs and heavy breathing but I felt like I really accomplished something! =) As I was feeling so great and accomplished I noticed that my favorite Paleo Facebook page Health and Effectivity  was releasing a work out regimen daily that was a little more challenging but not out of reach. SOOOOO.... I went ahead and added in the extra work out (5 push ups, 30 sec plank, 10 curls and 25 crunches) to my squat challenge! Ok, I'll be honest, I omitted the plank.

Now I know some are reading this and probably thinking "big deal" you're doing some squats and minor activity. EXACTLY! It is a very big deal damn it. I do not work out. I haven't for about three good solid years. This is EPIC. I feel so good and I am loving the challenge of cooking to fit my new lifestyle and adding in some movement or dare I say "exercise" along the way.

All in all today was great! Below you will find my meals from today. I can't wait until tomorrow to create more. I know that the lettuce taco will definitely be replayed for lunch! It is a new favorite, and oh the possibilities with the meat!!!
