In 2012, I embarked on a Paleo/Crossfit 30 day challenge. Since then, I have been diagnosed and treated for breast cancer and am now beginning the Focus T25 program. I had very successful results with my 2012 challenge but there's no way my body today could handle the intensity of a crossfit workout so I have chosen the Focus T25 modified plan and after I complete this program, I will compare both challenges.

Day 11 – Friday
Ahhhhh. Friday! I am completely thrilled to sleep in tomorrow! Getting up at 4:45am daily to make it to work in time for the 6:00am meeting is tiring! Especially since I feel the need to stay up late on Thursday nights, but not to watch any good drama series on TV, I stay up just because there’s only one work day left.
Today I decided to try something new. I cooked a sweet potato hash and it was delicious! The ingredients are simple, which I appreciate! Add olive oil, ground beef, sweet potatoes, chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, onion, garlic, paprika, cumin and salt & pepper. And not for nothin but I have gone through over 2 extra large bags of onions in the past 11 days! I wish they could bottle the smell of onion and garlic cooking on the stove!

The one thing about this Paleo eating plan is that you are using all perishable ingredients so they need to be purchased and cooked pretty quickly. They can’t sit in your cupboard, waiting for a rainy day. So since I have left over sweet potato, tomorrow I’m going to find a recipe for sweet potato pancakes!
Food for the day
Breakfast: mixed fruit cup
Lunch: fried eggs x2
Dinner: grilled chicken ceasar salad and sweet potato hash for a late night snack
