Day 7: Lost 3 pounds!! But getting bored

I've lost 3 pounds in one week!  I've been tracking my meals at www.myfitnesspal.com when I can remember, and most days I am averaging about 100 grams of carbs a day, but I could probably up my protein to 90 grams (I'm averaging about 60 grams a day now).   I'm just so full after an average meal with 4-6oz of protein that more protein seems impossible to consume.  Even if you wanted to overeat on this diet, it would be hard.

Other than that, I'm starting to feel bored, even though trying out new recipes constantly is helping to keep it interesting.  I already want to roast another lemon sage chicken, for instance!  But I've never eaten healthy meals 100% of the time, so it's hard to stop myself from thinking about bad foods.  In the span of one afternoon my thoughts have turned from Doritos, to pancakes, to toast, to gyros, to hummus, to corn flakes and milk.  It seems like on days where I'm not trying new Paleo meals, these cravings come back.

I also found some frozen grass fed organic beef in the grocery store.  I was really surprised to see it, since I hardly ever see anything organic there.  Anyway, I bought it and when I got home I saw that it cost $8 a pound!  What the hell!  I can get that for cheaper elsewhere, so I'm pretty annoyed I bought it.  That is pretty expensive for something frozen.  Oh well.
