Went shopping and bought a tons of veggies and chicken. I'm not a huge red meat person, but I LOVE shrimp. I actually LIKE veggies, a lot. But it's breakfast that kills me. I don't like eggs too much and I'm extremely lazy in the mornings, so I tend to just have coffee. (can't give that up) I started an intense Tae Bo regime to get these pounds off. When I was 16y I did tae bo 3x a week and lost 60lbs in 9m. But I was really depressed then and did a lot of starvation crashing. Sorry to ramble! So, this morning it's an Atkins Dark Chocolate shake. This helps keep my chocolate craving at bay and Coffee. I have Salsa chicken in the crock pot and will make guacamole tonight. Hoping to make a life style change.

If you want chocolate, Trader Joe's has really good 72% organic fair trade chocolate. I would skip the atkins shake, personally (I think there is a bunch of junk and artificial sweeteners in them). The salsa chicken w/ guac sounds delicious.

I am going to boil a bunch of sweet potatoes tonight, to put in the fridge for breakfast hashes this week, or reheating to eat with salads. I want to start adding in lots of not so common vegetables, does anyone have any really good recipes for uncommon produce?

The recipe looks great! I don't post here much but I always follow this thread for ideas.

Is this group still going? I am in need of inspiration at the moment as I am about 14 weeks pregnant. I still have lots of moments of feeling yucky, and lots of moments where all I want to eat is a bowl of cereal (lol, organic, with raw milk, of course). If you've had a paleo/primal pregnancy, how did you make it through?
