End of Week 3

It is a brave and perhaps stupid move to precariously balance your dinner on a post just for a photo. Good thing it didn’t backfire!

This salad contains:

– Five big Romaine leaves
– One tomato
– One grated carrot
– Half of a cucumber
– Half of a red bell pepper
– A small handful of dried cranberries
– About one tablespoon of olive oil

Today was a great day for exercise. I walked a hilly mile on the treadmill and broke a nice sweat, and then did Level 1 of the Jillian Michaels 30-Day Shred DVD.

I’ve probably done that DVD 50-100 times, and even did Levels 1 and 2 back to back one time when I was feeling really hardcore, but man, Level 1 was tough today. I’m truly starting from square one again. The good news is that I stuck with it and my ankle didn’t hurt at all! This was the first time I’ve attempted jumping since my accident (jumping jacks, jump rope) and it really made me believe that running is not far off.

Stuff I munched on throughout the afternoon: An apple with almond butter, handful of walnuts and the rest of my rotisserie chicken. I’m not super hungry for dinner, but I’ll make some tilapia later if this salad doesn’t cut it [edit: I totally made and ate tilapia].

Tomorrow is weigh-in Wednesday and marks three weeks of Paleo eating! I’ll keep posting food photos through Week 4, and then cut back and only post new and interesting meals. Bacon and eggs look about the same every day, y’know?

Lastly… I haven’t done this in a while, but here are my favorite Tumblr bloggers lately!
