Day 3 Musings

So we are on day three and so far it isn't seeming to be a challenge at all ..... I know, I know it's early days. However, I have not had a coffee for three days and apart from the irristable aromas wafting out of a morning as I pass by Mugshots I am not really missing it. I thought I may have withdrawal headaches but nothing, perhaps this is because it has become a rarity for me to have more than one coffee a day (except on weekends and then it is probably a max of three). I have been drinking lemon and ginger tea instead and apart from Mark saying it looked like I was drinking urine I am enjoying the change.
Planning meals ahead is working and I have been cooking enough of an evening so I can use the leftovers as lunch for Mark and I, the sloths prefer lunch money and are not happy when they have to take a homemade lunch. Unfortunately I often succumb to their demands and hand over the cash rather than throwout the lovingly prepared food that is returned in their lunch boxes, need to find a happy medium that we are all happy with.
Cravings, have others been having any? Today I was craving something salty and instead of reaching for potato chips I ate a handful of toasted salted pumpkin seeds , craving dealt with. I am finding by planning ahead and packing my lunches I am eating regularly and not skipping meals which was my past pattern. I actually feel as though I am eating more food ~ not sure if that is a positive or not (any comments or hints Sonja?), but I am feeling great at this point and hopefully that will continue. I have not felt the tiredness others have desribed and the only aches and pains are from my shoulder and after Fridays' appointment with the doctor I will finally know what is causing that as well.
My first hurdle will be Friday evening, it is the eldest sloths year 11 dinner dance and we have been invited along with all the boys at his table and their partners to a pre dinner function at another families home. I am preety sure the offerings will be very non Paleo and the bubbles flowing (adults only ~ mocktails for the teens) ~ for once I think I will be happy to be designated driver so as not to have to explain why I am not having a glass.
I would love to know how everyone else is going, what is easy? what is a challange? Hints and tips anyone?
