I was having a hard time finding jerky without cane juice in it, too, but I might have some every now and then for on-the-go eating if I need it. :) Thanks for the clarification, MoxyBoss!

A few thoughts...<br /><br />1. It will take you about 2 weeks to adjust to this new way of eating.

Just ride it out, kids. It will pass.<br /><br />2. Gum = NO for <a href="http://drbenkim.com/articles-gum.html" rel="nofollow">a whole host of reasons</a>. <br /><br />3. The Organic Sunbutter has no added cane juice. However, I'm okay with the small amount of "sugar" in the regular Sunbutter, given the benefits. If you can't find the Organic, proceed with the normal stuff.<br /><br />And finally... try grilling other fruits, like mango or pineapple. Serve with fresh fish - amazing.<br /><br />Keep up the strong work!<br />Melissa<br /><br />PS @ JohnJ: I'm not saying there are "side effects" of protein powder... although I do think it'll make you fat. (Seriously.) My point is, it's clearly not "real" food, and your body will always do better with REAL food. Egg whites are the ideal post workout protein source - easy to digest and not that "heavy".

I don't have the time to devote to CrossFit at the moment - roller derby is taking up 80% of my workout sessions during the week, but I'll look into the endurance regimens.<br /><br />Jamie - <br /><br />Woohoo, Day 3! I'm feeling good. Was really sleepy yesterday in the afternoon. I need to play around with meal times - I was still really hungry after lunch, so I ate more. Bad idea. The food sat in my stomach like a rock for most of the evening.<br /><br />I def had second thoughts about this whole Paleo thing yesterday with the tiredness and still not performing better at speed skate (I'm in a freaking plateau and have been for a month or so - GAH!!!). But, I ate a bison burger for the first time last night and recommitted mentally. Mmm...bison....<br /><br /><br />Preparing for the wedding shower in the next few days. I already called my mom and told her I'd be doing my own cooking at home, but that I appreciated her offering to make me dinner. :) Club soda with lime = my new favorite thing. It gets tastier everytime I drink it. It's like a healthy version of Sprite.<br /><br />I don't think gum is permitted based on some of the comments during the first week in July.<br /><br />I havea question about the no sugar rule: I went searching for Sunbutter/almond butter last night and the labels on both said "dehydrated cane juice." After doing some digging, I came across a website that referred to it as just another name for artificial sugar. Did the people here using Sunbutter order the organic kind off of the website? Or is dehydrated cane juice alright?<br /><br />I'm staying away from it to be safe until I can find a solid answer. :)<br /><br />My body is happy today - bloating is gone and I swear my cheekbones are showing a little bit more than usual. ;) I'm sleepy, but chugging along!<br /><br />Thanks for all the support everyon!<br /><br />XOXO,<br /><br />Mer Thanks, Steve!

Jamie –

I have heard that when trying to make a significant change, Day 3, Week 3, Month 3 and Year 3 are frequent stumbling points. I packed lots of options in my lunch box today, no excuses here. <br />I do not know what got into me but I kicked some serious A$$ during CrossFit last night. We did a variant of Cindy that we called Cindy, On Crack. It was Awesome! <br /><br />I read before I went to sleep, and I went to sleep with the house completely dark and no TV. I have not slept without a TV on a regular basis since USA Boot Camp, Oct - Dec 1992. Took about a half hour to fall asleep, but I did sleep well once I got there. But, I am so sleepy today... <br /><br />@ Tracy - Welcome back to the cave!<br /><br />@ Jen - I have just started reading Getting the Love You Want. Some points have been interesting so far and I am only up to page 10. <br /><br />@ Mer - I used some olive oil to keep the fruit from sticking to the grill. Good luck with the wedding shower weekend, and you will have to let us know how it went. I have a wedding and reception to go to on Sept 12. Sounds like a good chance to try out Club Soda with lime.<br /><br />@ Soulrich - I was wondering if you had found any adjustments that seemed to help with the paleo prep work. I saw your post and the recommendations that followed. Any of them pan out well for you?<br /><br />?? Is chewing gum permitted during Paleo? I would think not, but it is a habit to chomp on it during my workout, and I did it without even thinking last night. Day 3 and doing ok.

Check out http://www.crossfitendurance.com/ I’m starting to get into it and it seems to be working for me. It is preferred to have 3 hours between your CrossFit and CFE workouts. It’s recommended to get in 2 interval training sessions and 1 stamina training session per week.
