Day 2 went fairly well, other than the crankiness that naturally comes with being carb-deprived. I ate a lot of the same foods again, including leftover steak from the night before, and wasn't nearly as hungry feeling as I was the first day.
Last night for dinner, I roasted a chicken using this recipe, which was super tasty. I served it with a baked sweet potato (some will argue that all tubers are not Paleo, but sweet potatoes are okay for our challenge) and sauteed green beans (legumes are also excluded from the Paleo diet, but green beans are allowed for our challenge.) We have plenty of leftover chicken, and we boiled the bones, skin and leftover bits in water to create a nice broth. We're going to use that later on this week to make a beef stew in the crock pot.
We went on an hour long bike ride yesterday afternoon, and it was HOT. I was tired and cranky and sniffly and sore, so I was generally unhappy, but I powered through. The hardest thing so far has been time management; all this cooking and preparing isn't leaving a whole lot of time left in the day. I'm sure it'll get easier as time goes on, and I'll be able to do a lot of preparation on Sunday for the whole week.
