30 Day Paleo Challenge (Start): Last week I made the jump into the real world and I have been busy getting caught up to speed at my new position so I forgot to post about my 30 Day Paleo Challenge progress. Today was my first weigh-in after I started The Paleo Diet on July 1st and I have dropped 4.5lbs. I'm a little off of my pace, but part of the reason could be the two and a half cheat days I had last week because of the holiday. This definitely set me back a lot, but I'm making up for it this week. Here is what my meal plan/workout has looked like so far: Meals

-One whole egg, one egg white
