Day 1) today has to be the hardest day for me! The challenge starting on the weekend is killing my life but I guess it's better as it gives us time to prepare for next week. I think eating out is the hardest for me. Ordering a salmon omelet which came with 4 delicious slices of buttered bread! ( which I did not touch). Anyhow here goes it!
Breakfast: tiny piece of grilled chicken (all that was left from last night) 1 pear.
Brunch: Salmon omelet, english breakfast tea
Afternoon tea:
1 date, coffee (4 table spoons of coconut milk)- the hardest thing that I will have to adjust to.
Dinner: cooked spinach, roast chicken and vegies and garden salad.

Snack: 1 handful of almonds, 2 teaspoons of almond butter

2 l of water

Training: crossFit session

Snack- half handful of Walnuts, sultanas.1 handful of watermelon nuts, pumpkin seeds
D- dinner party at family freind's... Uh oh.. This could be dangerous!
Yessss I was right! Coming from a wog background where your force fed doesn't help. I tried to be good though... I had a garden salad which had lots of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, delicious oven roast chicken breast with some form of pesto, another piece of chicken breast cooked with zafron, and 3 table spoons of natural yoghurt which had spinach and garlic mixed in it ( I regret this big time as a I know it's not paleo but it was just irresistible!) I will be good all week this week to make up for it!
I also had about 3 green teas and felt very very proud myself for declining desert which loosed AMAZING!

Water intake was about 2 liters.
Training: nil as my legs are still smashed from Saturday's WOD and my shoulder is giving me grief.

[Blocka]

Dark chocolate 75% cocoa will generally be around 24% sugar.

It's your body and your challege. How strict are you going to be?
