Paleo Day 4

Cravings? What cravings? Oh... THOSE cravings... yes, is it the carb withdraw that I heard so much about? Slight headache (which is normal for me but doesn't hurt as bad as usual?), fighting a sweet tooth, but still pretty full.

For dinner yesterday we went to Boiling Point. Boiling Point, for those of you who have never been, is a place where they serve you individual pots of Chinese Hot Pot above a flame. For those of you who dont know what hot pot is... it is basically vegetables and meat in hot flavored soup. If you still have no clue, please ask my BFF Google.

Going to Boiling Point was the first struggle I had so far. It is hard to categorize some of the ingredients in Chinese food when I don't even know what I am eating. I knew I couldn't eat rice, but how about glass noodle? It is not made of flour... what the heck is it made out of??? I wasn't sure so I only ate a couple of bites. maybe 1/10 of a cup. I knew I could not eat Tofu because it is made of soy, so that mean no to bean curd, which is my favorite. I ate all of the pork, egg whites and kimchi (I chose the Kimchi Pot) and that was it. Pretty satisfying but with rice it would have been much more fun.

Exercise for Day 3 consisted of 77 minutes of brisk walking and briefly jogging while watching American Idol. The machine said I burned about 275 cal. Followed that with some sit ups but could never do more than 30 at a time. x2.5 = 100.

Total calories consumed yesterday was approximately 985. Total carb approximately 29g

Day 4

This morning I woke up feeling full so I had one egg.

Had some cravings so I ate a little more than a handful of almonds.

Wasnt sure what I was going to do for lunch but a coworker and I went to a teriyaki spot called WaBa Grill that I've never been to. It says no MSG + etc so why not. I am not a fan of teriyaki... but I didn't know what else to eat so I tried the chicken teriyaki with no rice, just vegetables. They charged me a few cents extra, WHATEVER!!! The whole thing was surprisingly good... I think I like the teriyaki with vegetables MUCH better than with rice! Finished 3/4 of it and was a happy camper.
