One week left...I am DYING for vietnamese coffee! (Lu)

I'm in the home stretch now! Just one week left! I have yet to weight myself, but as of last week, my weight has not budged a single bit. I have not cheated even once in the last 3 weeks. However, my resolution is wearing thin. I'm looking at recipes, daydreaming of what I will eat when this challenge is over. Cheesecake brownies, yogurt with granola, chocolate cupcakes, and, most definitely, Vietnamese ice coffee with plenty of condensed milk. This is bad. I don't want to regain all the weight back after a month of effort. I will most likely cut back to maybe 70-80% paleo. I plan to also limit my sugar intake. That seems to be where all my weight is coming from.

So far...lost about 7 lbs and one inch around my hips and waist, still no exercise other than 2 yoga sessions and walking to and from school. My pants are a bit looser. I have to tighten the belt one notch more these days. My eating habits are rotten though. I was never one to prepare my food in advance. I would just scrounge around when I get hungry and eat whatever is easiest to make. Last week was a lot of eggs and bacon, bananas, boiled veggies, and various pan fried meats. BORING... I hope to be more adventurous this week. Today was corn beef and cabbage (an apparent study in how much salt I can handle) and tomorrow will be braised short ribs with mushrooms. I also hope to get some coconut flour waffles in there too.

One more week....and then I can finally get that iced coffee...
