Wed Feb 22

I had an ok sleep, but I was still full from dinner when I went to bed. Note to self: don't eat such large portions.

B:
1/2 a huge fugi apple, cup of blueberries (fresh) w/almond butter and cinnamon / coffee

S: handfull of mixed nuts / coffee / rooibos tea

L:
Leftover pesto chicken spaghetti squash n kale. Not as much as dinner. Must brush teeth after although it won't take care of the entire smell. Garlic seeps through your pours you know. I'll be the stinky garlicy girl at crossfit tonight. Damn. Raw garlic is more potent than cooked.

S: grapes. quite a few. they were so good! then a choc chip lara bar. a green tea. and a rooibos tea.

When I got home, a spoonful of almond butter / a few blueberries

CROSSFIT it was great

D: 1 macedonian sausage from st lawrences. 2 small homemade meatballs. sweet potato, green beans. great dinner!!

PS I am dreaming of Europe again. Thinking Munich and Prague. Castle Roads even. Was looking at my pics from Berlin and I was missing Germany. And I know there is someone from Germany reading this blog..so..where should we go?? I don't want to go back to Berlin anytime soon, I want to go somewhere older. I want to see castles and old, old architecture. Holler!!

Pancake Tuesday

No pancakes though.

B: 2.5 scrambled eggs w/salsa / 1 coffee / small handful of almonds

S: 1/4 avocado / coffee - cutting back on the avocadsss

L: spaghetti squash and meat sauce

S: 1 apple, 1 nectarine, cut up in small pieces to make a fruit salad. spoonful of pb and some cinnamon. Need to make some almond butter. Hopefully my food processor isnt fried.

S#2: 1 hard boiled egg. I'm always self conscious eating a hard boiled egg with my hands. I feel like it grosses people out.

Thinking of doing a pesto n chicken spaghetti squash meal. I have a squash to use at home, and I realize I had it for lunch. But.. oh well.

Dinner!
I made my version of the Italian Raw Bowl from Fresh. Only it wasn't raw at all. Or vegan. it was Spaghetti squash, chicken breast, kale, bacon, fried tomatoes and dairy free pesto. I made the pesto with a pack of fresh basil, 2 cloves of garlic, a handful of cashews, a handful of walnuts, olive oil, lemon juice and salt. It was super creamy and delicious. PS the magic bullet sucks for making pesto but i was afraid to use my food processor because it started smoking last time. Who needs parmesan cheese! (I do, but not today). So, it was so friggin good. I added some more cashews and other nuts to my dinner pile just for some added crunch. The only problem is that the serving I ate was huge. It was just really good. Yes I sort of regret it but whatever it was facking awesome. I'm also drinking a beer get over it. I haven't had a beer since Jamaica, so like a month. It won't be a regular thing, I just had a craving for one. And it went well with my dinner.

I bought a container of blueberries. Might have a few later. If my stomach deflates at some point. Anyhoo. That's all. Reen I'll let you taste my pesto tomorrow. You'll love it, it's super garlicy! heh heh.

CF tomorrow night, maybe yoga Friday. Maybe not, I've got to set the spare room up for my frens that are coming over Sat. bye!

Thursday Feb 16

Late night, early morning. My favourite! Tonight I WILL go to crossfit and work my ass off. I swear. Considering purchasing a 10 class pass to hot yoga in my hood. Mix up the exercise a bit ya know? Gonna get back into running. Using poor weather as a excuse is dumb, considering how mild our winter has been.

Breakfast:
1 slice of my home made bread / it's almost gone. that almond butter is rancid. We knew it tasted funny, but thought maybe it was because we were used to my home made one. Nope. It's definitely rancid. Tastes like old oil. Very unfortunate. Oh well, I'll be making my own tonight.
Coffee of course / bowl of mixed berries w/cinnamon bit of almond milk and a few walnuts.

Please note that due to the ridiculous binging I did yesterday, my stomach hurt all night and I felt like shit. I will not go so far as to say I'm 'gluten intolerant' because I don't know if I am or not. But I do know that eating crap makes me feel like crap. IT's not like I become violently ill if I eat grains/sugar/dairy. I just don't feel great. Let's get real here.

Anyway. That's all.

VDay

I gorged myself today. I’ve been sugar free for a while (for the most part) and I had a taste of chocolate today and couldn’t stop. This is why it’s all or nothing. You can’t cut it out then have a bit cuz then you just go crazy. Well, I do anyway. So, everything in moderation, people. But, really cut down on the sugar in general. And I don’t plan on eating bread or grains regularly. Today was a special day and that’s that. Back to normal tomorrow. I have a headache. too much alcohol. And I’m not drunk.

I won't even bother listing what I ate. It's just embarrassing. Tomorrow is a new day.
