Week 2: Paleo Challenge {In the Swing of Things}

How's is going? Week 2 is sort of like "okay I know what I need to do, so it's sticking to it" type of week. After Week 1 and figuring out a schedule of planning my cooking/snacks this week it was more of just ensuring I stuck to the planning. I know sometimes it is time consuming to prepare all  your meals by scratch but I personally love cooking so this thing is fun for me!  However, the recipes I make do NOT take a lot of time. 

So if you read my post on snacks the other day you may have seen some sugar in them!! You guys caught me...dang it. Yes, I had a little bit of sugar this week.  However, I did not include the fruits as I had been planning to. So some natural sugars were okay for me.  Those sweet potato fries were the best things ever...I didn't even need ketchup (sugar haven). 

So with further a due...meals and workouts for Week 2...
