Here are a few more interesting discoveries I have made in this Challenge:
Mushrooms
I used to hate mushrooms, I would pick them out of food if I saw them. Just the thoughts that they were a fungus make me shiver and I have no idea why. It probably involves something with my brother, I usually blame weird things on him. Anyway, someone was talking about a recipe and as soon as I said I don't eat mushrooms they asked why. I just shrugged and they told me to get over it, and just eat them. Well, at that point I did and they weren't too bad. Not my favorite thing in the world, with the weird texture but they are okay. The surprising thing is that I usually like weird textures but not mushrooms. So as long as I dice those suckers and don't think about it I will eat them.
Chocolate
I have found out how dangerous chocolate can be. I originally allowed it on my list but at this point I am thinking about crossing it out or making my like more specific. How I currently have it defined, is not working. A little chocolate can mean various amounts. I know that at the moment I am eating more chocolate than I did before I started the challenge.
Extreme BLT Salad @ Uncommon Ground on Western Ave
One of the best salads, I have had from a local joint in Albany. It has lots of bacon, tomatoes and mozzarella balls in it. Its a great salad, its on my list of places to go that I can get something paleo. Ignore the bagels if you go here, but yes the salad is good and under $10.

Discoveries
There are a few things I have discovered this far into my paleo challenge and I figured I would share.
LARABARS
Complete and utter awesomeness. Pecan Pie, Coconut Cream Pie, Cashew Chew. I will let you in on a little secret. I loved Luna Bars, but they were not paleo, not even close and it made me sad. Then one day wandering around in the grocery store I see these and decide to look. Someone was watching out for me that day, I don't know what I would do without them. I love them as a mid morning snack a on a day that I have worked out.
Shrimp
Totally on sale this week at Price Chopper, which lead to me making shrimp curry. An awesome shrimp curry, so yummy and simple. It seems I have finally gotten a good curry recipe down. I have been testing different recipes for curry over the last month. Its about time I figured it out.
Butternut squash
Peppers and onions
Curry Powder
Salt seasoning
Coconut Milk, but one the top 3/4 of a can
Shrimp
It came out perfectly, my BF had it with rice and I will say that I was totally jealous. I resisted the rice but it was perfect. Nice and thick, spicy,with shrimp goodness. Mmmhmm, going to have to make some more.
A workout log
I have discovered that writing down my workouts, keeps me accountable and excited. I want to put another entry into my pretty little notebook. I want to see if there is something I improved on or if I have done this workout before. I have been writing down everything since December 1st and I wished I started this sooner. In September I tried to keep track of it online, but it wasn't satisfying and it felt like work. Now, I want to write down what I have been doing. It makes a big difference.
