I've been planning and preparing for a little over a week now. I started by reading the entire Nom Nom Paleo cookbook. I went back and bookmarked my favorite recipes. Then I went through all of my clean eating cookbooks and bookmarked all of the Paleo-friendly recipes. I printed out the ones available online, and typed up the ones that were only in the cookbook, so that I could have easy access to them. Then I organized them, put 'em in a binder, and labeled everything. After all that was said and done, I meal planned my entire week, breakfast to dinner, and made a complete grocery list.
I am exhausted! I was runnin' around town today, baby showers, baby birthdays, baby everything (everywhere except my house.. hallelujah!). When I got home, I was tired and grumpy but needed to start this by tomorrow. So by the good graces of Kevin, we waddled to the grocery store. It was a pain in the butt (and my feet) but check out this sick haul!
It was a little expensive, but it was also a starter trip. I had to grab some stuff that I won't need again for a while! But for this week, we are going to be transforming these beautiful veggies and protein into:
Breakfast - Prosciutto-wrapped mini frittatas
Lunch - Chicken salad, Greek salad
Dinner - Asian chicken thighs with hot & sour slaw and broccoli, Beef skewers with mashed cauliflower and brussels sprouts, and baked chicken with onions & leeks and green bean salad and asparagus
I'll update more once I start cooking all of this, but I'm pretty optimistic. I pigged out today at all the parties today and said good bye to my last cupcake (for a while, at least)
(P.S. it still made me sick. Asshole cupcake)
I wish I liked more vegetables. I like a handful but if I enjoyed more, eating healthy would be easier. I wish I had the guts to go all out like you. Can't wait to see your progress and stuff! :)
