S: 2 pieces of lindt 75% dark choc.
D: this dinner was a mix of snacks and dinner. chips were involved. and chinese food. but i stuck to the meat/veg of the chinese food / 1 beer / 1 glass of wine.
Today:
B: 2 strips bacon 2 eggs / coffee
S: 2 pepperettes. you know the ones.
L: apple w/ almond butter
I'm making some Coconut Flour Flax bread. Gluten/dairy free. I added a tablespoon of coconut sugar to this recipe:
1/2 cup coconut flour, sifted
1/2 cup flax seeds, ground [or chia seeds, unground]
1/2 teaspoon salt [or less]
1 teaspoon baking soda
5 eggs
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/8 cup water (I subbed in unsweetened apple sauce in hopes it will be more moist)
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar [or coconut water vinegar or lemon juice]
Preheat oven to 325F. Grease a small loaf pan (7 3/4" × 4 1/2" × 3" H).
Mix all the dry ingredients together.
Combine all the wet ingredients.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and beat well. Batter will be thick.
Pour into loaf pan and bake for 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out
clean.
Cool completely before slicing.

Comment from Carrol: This recipe can also be made into herb dinner rolls by
adding a teaspoon each of chopped fresh thyme, sage, and rosemary. I then
use the rolls to make stuffing. Just cube, toast and use in your favorite
stuffing recipe.
I'm excited to have something to spread almond butter on besides fruit! Fingers crossed it turns out yummy.
Dinner will be stuffed peppers. I've got a pork/beef/veal ground mix. I'll use cauliflower as though it's rice. Thinking of kale as the side dish. Maybe kale and bacon. :)
Looks like I most likely won't make it to CF until Tues or Wed. We'll see.

Tuesday Feb 7
B: 2 eggs, salsa, coffee (it was mostly decaf. blech)
S: americano from bucks - yum! almonds
L: frittata, spinach, 1/2 teeny avocado, 1/4 red pepper, some balsamic vin. that was in the fridge. its vegan, but it had traces of sugar in it. shrug.
S: Davids Tea, a banana nut one. Apple w/cinnamon.
S#2: a small sweet potato with butter and cinnamon. I was feeling woozy, needed a carb like that. Then I binged on these vegan cranberry/date/banana/raisin/banana nut balls from Fresh n Wild - such a rip there...I ate the entire pack. it was a small pack, but the serving size was 25g (lame) and the entire pack was 100g... 90 cals/serving and like 11g of sugar/serving. You do the math. I should have just got a Lara bar.
D: an apple with some home made almond butter. I'm getting my almond butter tomorrow, but I wanted something on the sweet side for dinner, so I made a quick little batch of it. I wasn't feeling any of my leftovers and I didn't wanna make something new.. I was very generous with the almond butter on my apple slices. I don't care, it was soooo good.
I'll have a rooibos tea later. I hope my dried fruit binge doesn't fuck up my sleep. ugh.
Bailed on yoga tonight. 7:30-9 then I'd be home at like 9:30, have to wash my hair.. no supper. Fuck that. Tonight I chill, tomorrow I crossfit then maybe yoga Thurs. Definitely yoga Saturday.
Hump day tomorrow! I'm watching Corrie.. Tracey is pregnant.

Feb 6
Slacking on the postage.
Sunday:
B: coffee, ommmmmmmmm .. a frittata and sweet potates.
spontaneously bought a week long pass to Bikram yoga here in the beaches. Well I don't live in the beaches but I live more in the beaches than I do downtown. Anyway, I felt like I needed a good stretch after all the crossfit I did this week. Did I go three times? I think I did! so did MA. Nice! So I participated in a hot yoga class. It was a smaller class. It was fucking hot and disgusting and I almost passed out, but man did I feel good after. I might go again tomorrow or Wed. We'll see.
L: spinach salad with 1/2 can tuna, red peppers and almonds.
I ate the rest of my Lara balls. I goddam love those things. I'm gona make more. So what. And the countdown to the bottle of wine I'm drinking on friday is on!
Oh, my new favourite tea: Rooibos. SOOOOOO good. way better than crappy green tea lake water. I love Rooibos vanilla. Gonna have a cup now! Apparently it helps you sleep. I believe it.
S: slow cooked ribs, backed curry cauliflower and carrots.
It was a good weekend. Relaxing. God shit done and chilled out bigtime. Getting stuff done on Saturday is awesome because I can be so lazy Sunday if I want. Or go to a yoga class! Look at me drinking herbal tea and going to yoga and stuff. Who knew!?
Today:
B: 2 fried eggs, 2 strips of bacon, coffee
S: cashews
L: spaghetti squash and meat sauce. that meal lasted a long time! yum!
S: apple w/cinnamon and half a teeny avocado
S#2: spinach, the other half of that avocado and almonds.
Pre-supper (yes I eat alot apparently): 2 scrambled eggs a la microwave
Crossfit. Worked out like a mother---
D: leftover ribs, spinach, carrots/cauliflower.
Last week of the 100% Paleo ness. I'm keeping it up. I'll say at 85-90%. Thats cool.

Saturday Feb4
Just made some 'paleo pancakes'. They're ok. Better than my last version which was all almond flour. I cut the recipe in half since I am the only one eating them. Also put some frozen berries in a sauce pan with some coconut milk and honey. good alt to maple syrup. The texture is really soft.. not so pancakey. They're much fluffier than my stupid almond flour ones. I'll modify this recipe in the future.
Today I clean, laundry, pick up my boots from Purolator. Get my Valentine supplies. Get some meat from the butcher for my ribs and the week. Tonight, I'll chill and finish Jamie's hat.. Yes I am a loser right now but I don't want to go out and spend money!
I'm thinking tomorrow I'll visit my grandma.
Weekends I don't normally do lunch, but we'll see how hungry I am in a few hours.
There is one week left in this challenge. So far, I've been great ..let's forget that week to Jamaica, shall we? However, I don't think I'll win. I feel that MA might though! go! go! go! I'd love to see one of my friends hit that jackpot, and she's been doing so great. We're gonna go take our measurements and stuff on Thursday so our weekend is freeeeeeeee!
I'm thinking I will continue another week with this to make up for lost time, just for my own personal gain. And I plan on keeping up with this lifestyle as much as possible. Let's say I'll be at 90%, with that 10% allowance for some cheeses and sweets here and there. And chips, let's get real here. And I promise I won't be picky when going out for dinner or going to someone's house, because moving forward, those occasions are special and I will treat them as just that and get over it.
Sorry, reen I've been slacking on the photos. I think I'll start a tumblr account just for that. It's much easier to upload from my phone.
