If It Was Easy, It Wouldn't Be Called A Challenge

Up until now, this paleo thing was a walk in the park. Sure, I was being offered junk left and right, but it was easy to reject it ----UNTIL....Trey brought home mini-Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. It sounds worse than it really is...I had two mini cups and then the following night I allowed myself to have my weekly popcorn/chocolate treat. Not a big deal, I know. But Trey was making a big deal out of it. And then it got me thinking, well DAMN -- I might as well just eat the rest of the bag of Reese's...which I probably would've but there was none left (thank goodness).
The point is, this is a challenge. It is hard. Sometimes it sucks...For Example: Today, I went to Mellow Mushroom with my family. I ordered a 12 dollar salad and when they brought it out, I almost cried. It was an anorexic salad..WHAT THE WHAT? Don't they read my blog and know I eat salads bigger than my face? This ultra marathon training girl, inhaled it in one bite. I was still starving so I ate two slices of pizza. That's life. So, what now? Pick-up and continue on with the Paleo Challenge. I'm not going to let a little chochalate and two slices of pizza be the end of this. I will have the last say bite!
