Day 2: Rockstars do exist

Breakfast:  8am 3 small egg cupcakes.  Each one is like a bite.  Held me over for awhile.  10:45am 1 piece of egg frittata, leftover from yesterday.  I'm thinking tomorrow before work I will make a smoothie to eat at work.

Lunch:  Leftover Caldo De Pallo around 12:30pm.  This meal is awesome.

Dinner:  Five Spice stir fry.  This was prepped last night, so easy to throw in large skillet.  Need to get a wok.  Beef, shrimp, mushrooms, purple cabbage, broccoli, red bell pepper, onion, ginger with Asian 5 spice concoction and fish oil.

Snacks:  5 almonds after lunch, handful of trailmix here and there.  3:15pm made a smoothie.  1/4 cup ice, 5 blackberries, 6 oz. vanilla coconut milk and 1 spoonful of almond butter.  A couple pieces of celery with light almond butter.  So tired of freaking water, so I bought a Zen green Tea at Starbucks.  I HATE tea, but I am going to learn to drink it, going through caffeine withdrawl and I miss diet coke.

Random thughts:  So I had a nagging headache on day 1.  Not bad, just annoying.  It was in forehead around my eyebrows and then in my lower neck in back of my head yesterday afternoon.  The wife had the same headache in the afternoon.  Today I have a small headache in my forehead this morning.  I know it's not caffeine withdraw, I am on my 3rd cup of coffee this morning.  Maybe it is all the processed foods my body is losing?  I guess I should read the book more so I understand this better.  But it is more fun to speculate.

So I mentioned in my "About me" I have two kids.  An 11 year old daughter and 8 year old son.  They are both good eaters overall, they both like sushi, love seafood and any beef.  My son is picky about alot of stuff though.  He did not eat much yesterday on day 1.  He was eating his leftover waffles that remain for breakfast, only ate the fish from the fish taco for lunch, snacked on a brownie, ate half a jar of pickles (didn't put the lid back on either in the fridge door) and pretty much just ate some salad and picked the chicken out of the stew for dinner.  He doesn't eat breakfast, so that isn't a big deal.  The wife packed them "paleo" lunches.  When he gets home from school today we shall see how it goes.  I figure he is going to be a challenge for a few days.

My daughter though is a rockstar though.  Not sure if she is trying to impress us, or really likes it. She did ok with the tacos yesterday, loved the chicken stew and ate 3 egg cupcakes for breakfast.

Hopefully neither kid loses any weight.  They are beanpoles as it is, and I would hate to see the doctor  get on us about some "pseudo diet" as I am sure they will refer to it as.  Doctors are idiots at times and close minded, they have to stick to what they learn in school.  The same can be said of any profession being idiots, they are just doing there job as trained.  But everything we have read is that once you are on this for awhile, one of the good side affects will be getting sick less.  I am skeptic also, but so far it is good.  My BM change is impressive on its own. Our kids get sick alot, so cross your fingers there. We have had the duct work cleaned in the past and other crap and nothing helps.  Part of it is just being kids.  Also, my son gets headaches alot and is on medication for it.  Hopefully going caveman will help him also.

So last week we had like our "last meal" like 4 times.  One night it was mexican, and we explained to the kids what the diet was all about.  It was funny, my kids said that they learned in school that dairy and grains are important parts of the meal groups.  So we told them to not argue with their teachers, and we are going to just supplement our dairy with other stuff, like coconut milk and lots of different vegetables and fruit.
