Annd I am not sure if anyone is still keeping up...
BUT. Here I go giving an update.
Mostly. I try to keep paleo. I feel better. It doesn't suck. But I do also want a sustainable life/eating style. And so. I sometimes allow for not perfect behavior. And boy does it ever make me feel crappy. Seriously, I love me some sugar. And there is NO benefit to sugar. No hidden vitamins. No hidden awesome-ness. It is just something I crave, my Midwest childhood was based around and, therefore, is sometimes hard to say no to - esp. in the Easter candy season - the best candy season around. Just saying. Hopefully, there will come a day when I say. Hey sugar, you are lame - you make me feel like crap... but until that day - I try not to beat myself up too much and keep fighting the good fight.

Week 4
Update.
Still no drinking - which makes Annette a sad girl, but eh, I am determined to make the 6 weeks.
What I like about this challenge is that I am learning A LOT and there is a lot that I still want to research.
This week I am going to CUT OUT the almond butter - it is WAY too easy for me to over-do. In general I am cutting back on nuts - but nuts aren't as easy for me to go crazy on like the temptress almond butter. I am also cutting back on apples. Which means that I am upping my protein - which means I need to prepare more - which means planning - which is no fun. Last night I was cooking some ground turkey - and about 3 people came into the kitchen right as the raw meat slid out of it's casing. They all stared at the pan. My friend Doug said "Um... enjoy your meat, Annette..." Awesome.
Sidenote - CUMIN is rad.

Coconut is Awesome.
Another week. Check. I have been listening to the podcast by Robb Wolf - good stuff. It has put a lot of sense behind paleo eating - and for me - when sense is applied it makes it easier for me to make these choices. This weekend I purchased some lovely coconut milk and have made some delicious meals with it. I had some pre-sliced chicken breast from PCC - I cooked it with a little coconut oil and then I added the milk - I then cut in some cauliflower - and seasoned with cinnamon. It was amazing. The day before I did a very similar dish, but I started with one whole sweet onion and my meat was lean ground turkey. My favorite spices right now are cinnamon, cumin, and cayenne.
