I am a fantastic cook.

I have been on this bandwagon for 18 days now and I haven't had the same Paleo dish twice.  I might start putting recipes on here.  My strategy is to build my imaginary dinner plate in my mind before I go to the store.  I have been sticking to the rule of one serving lean protein always served over a big salad of leafy green stuff, and one or two side dishes of some sort of legal vegetable dish.  I have found that putting the lean protein over the salad forces me to eat it because as I cut the meat, I'm subconsciously forcing leafy green stuff onto my fork as well.  I don't feel like I've been eating ridiculous amounts of salad EVEN THOUGH I have been.  I even put my 'fried' eggs or omelets over salad, too.  MMMM, lettuce.

Not much to report other than I've been trying to play tennis.  I apologize to those on the nearby road who have dealt with tennis balls zooming past them... those court fences aren't high enough.  In all actuality, I'm really tired.  I'm getting barely enough calories/day to be sedentary, let alone be 'moderately active'.  I still can't talk myself into drenching everything in fat/oil and eating lots of meat because that still makes my stomach hurt.

Day 16, con't. July 23, 2012
Lunch:  One chicken caesar salad from Planet Sub, sans cheese, croutons, banana peppers (gross), dressing on the side.

Dinner:  My parent's house served tacos, so I got out a bowl and put in a heaping pile of shredded lettuce, some tomatoes, green onions, red bell pepper, and some of the seasoned ground turkey.  I topped it off with salsa.
NOTE TO SELF: How to survive debate room hospitality on taco day.
Picture:  The yellow things are tomatoes, not peaches.
