Paleo Day 1... again.

So I never finished Robb Wolf's book The Paleo Solution. I do intend to, eventually. However, I skimmed through the rest of it and found Robb's 30 day meal plan with recipes. So, I figured since the last time I went paleo I only lasted 10 days, primarily because I was bored. I was bored, tired, grouchy, angrrrry, and hungry. I mean seriously, I love chicken and I love some baby cow but if that's all you eat every day, every. damn. day. breakfast. lunch. dinner. It get's a little boring no matter what you shape you form the animal into, it still is the same animal product. So I gave up. That was part of the reason, the other part was because I dropped so much weight so fast. Ew.

I think I'm one of the very few women in the world that would ever think or say dropping weight at any speed is a bad thing. :) I pride myself on it. :)

Anyway, I found Robb's meal plan, glancing through it I notice there are some things I refuse to eat. Halibut/Tilapia/ Scallops... no thanks. I refuse to eat anything that comes from the water, particularly salt water. Well, I suppose there is an exception to that comment. I'll eat canned tuna and I'll put salmon in my mouth. Canned tuna smells like cat food. I grew up eating canned tuna because it has no remote resemblance to the fish. and it smells like cat food. Not that I'm one to eat cat food, anymore (I had two older sisters that went through a very cruel stage of picking on me when we were younger).

I'll eat salmon because one night I was at a friends family's house for dinner, and all they cooked was salmon and shrimp. Because I did not want to be rude, nor did I know them at all, I ate two shrimp and actually two slices of salmon. The mom had cooked the salmon so well it really had no fishy taste at all. It tasted quite literally like "Chicken of the Sea". Yes I know that's tuna but bear with me. So from then on I decided to always give salmon another try. I've eaten it a few times since then although it has never been as good. In fact I actually baked salmon a few weeks ago. Of course it tasted like dirty ass from the sea.

So of course, what is Robb's first day of the 30 day meal plan...

Grilled Salmon and Roasted Green Beans for dinner. .. .. wtf. ew.

I HATE green beans. I hate them more than I hate fish!

But I believe Robb planned this meal plan strategically based on the 30 days and the ease of the food. So I will be eating salmon and attempting to eat green beans tonight for dinner. If I can't do it, then I just wont be eating I suppose. Marksdailyapple.com condones IF (intermittent fasting) for a 16-hour time slot, so I suppose I can do it too and I wont die. Currently I don't agree with IF, however, if I can't eat these green beans and salmon tonight, I'm going to agree with it. :)

I really hope this paleo challenge goes significantly better than the last one. I'm shooting for at least 11 straight solid days of 100% paleo since I only made it 10 days last time.

Wish me luck.
