til the weekend. And thank jebus for that.
Breakfast:
2 eggs, small piece of steak, coffee
Americano
Lunch:
1 farmer's sausage, cucumber salad from last night
Dessert:
1 apple with cinnamon. (first apple of the week. And last)
Snack:
Veggies and some almond butter. Not alot of AB. First almond butter since Saturday. Sigh. few almonds also.
Pre dinner:
Bag of "pumpkin chips" (Danielle Chips brand) from Fresh and Wild. They are awesssommmmmme.
New fave snack. Indulgence I'd say.
Dinner:
"Fresh" of course (working late)
Raw Italian bowl and a 12oz smoothie: almond milk (sweetened.. damn. Didn't know.) blueberries, cocoa powder and protein + whey isolate powder.
I've decided I'm buying protein powder. I can't make perfect meals all the time, and come summer, after a workout, sometimes I just want a smoothie. I won't load it with berries anymore, but some blueberries and a bit of coconut milk will do. (Summer's reco). I'm cool with that. I'll pick up a tub of it on the weekend or something. Maybe tomorrow if I get a proper break. There are good, natural brands.
I almost reached for a beer. Or a glass of wine. Luckily the wine was old and the beer was beer.
Home time.

Last night at Crossfit I had to do pushups. I can't even do ONE pushup. It's sad, really. It looks like I'm trying to do the worm. I can't lift my body up. During the metcon I wanted to cry, for real. Probably didn't help that I'm sugar detoxing again.. but still. Ugh. I still feel emo today.

Monday Tomorrow. AGAIN!?
Hello.
Sleep was good but I feel bloated from this weekend of indulgence which isn't over. We're going to my parents place for dinner and I'm sure there will be lots of non paleo eats. I won't be that person tonight, since this is for my birthday.
Breakfast:
2 eggs, 3 slices turkey bacon. coffee.
Need to go shopping and stock up of veggies for snacks. Gonna make Scotch eggs tonight for the week. I also need to bake something for someone's last day at work tomorrow. What am I making??? Do I bother making it paleo?
Made some GF cookies, from this paleo blog. They aren't 100% "paleo" because I used butter instead of coconut oil. Coconut oil is too expensive for this. Plus, I made it for a work function, and they don't care about that stuff. They turned out great, btw.
Snack:
Pepperette, 1 cookie, maybe a spoonful of raw dough!
At Parents:
Appetizers, bread was involved, olives, party mix,
dinner:
roast beef, carrots, corn, potatoes, gravy, bread again...
Cake for dessert. The best cake ever! I'll post it later.
Oh yea I had some wine and a strongbow.
I let all this happen over the weekend. But I'm back to normal now +100%. Going to sugar detox again and reduce fruit. My plan was to go to CF Monday morn.. but that definitely didn't happen. I was on 4.5 hours slee. Let's hope I don't work late tonight.

Friday/Saturday
Friday was a faleo day, I can not lie. This seems to be a new trend in my life, actually.
Breakfast:
2 rice cakes, almond butter and honey. (I used to eat this often before the challenge), and haven't had it since then. / coffee
Snack:
Nowt.
Lunch:
Spinach salad contained: chicken, beets, artichoke hearts, peas, roasted red peppers, cashews, broccoli... with a red wine dijon vinaigrette. I didn't bring my lunch twice last week.
Went bowling after work with coworkers. Drank probably 6 or 7 manhattans. Yeah that's right. And ate some of the crap that was bought for snacks. Typical bar/pub shit. I didn't eat too much as I had dinner plans at 9pm.
Dinner at Spice Route.
It's like the Moxy's of Chinese food. It's big, overly modern, 'too cool' for me. People had bottle service in booths.. like vodka bottles for 200 bucks. Totally not my style (this was a bachelorette btw). So I ate some Chinese food.. Not really authentic chinese food, but fancy Ho Lee Chow. It was good because I was hungry and drunk, but lots of sodium, deep fried stuff and of course I had another Manhattan.
Later had a pint of cider at a bar.
Then I went to bed and woke up with a hangover and 6 pounds heavier than I normally am.
Saturday:
Had a nice chat with Summer about my diet habits and my goals. I'm giving myself a second chance to bounce back... I realize it's a slow process, but I need to see results by the time summer hits. I'm not buying clothes until everything fits like a glove.
I skipped the gym because of my hangover. See? you lose with booze. I regretted it, and then slept most of the afternoon before my bday dinner.
Breakfast:
2 eggs, turkey bacon and a sausage. coffee.
Snack:
rice cake, almond butter, honey. This is not going to continue.
Dinner:
Went to Allen's on Danforth. It was great. Food was amazing, company was even better. I won't bother listing what I ate. My main meal was a hamburger. Few glasses of wine and dessert of course. I will point out that all of their meat is quality meat, I think it's local?? And they list what the damn animal was fed before it was slaughtered. Which I think is pretty awesome. Go there for a quality meal.
Tea before bed.
I slept pretty well considering what I ate.

Go Tall-y It's yer birfday
Jamie made me a yummy birthday breakfast. A meal fit for a 30 year old. Well, maybe I should eat something lighter... who knows. Since this blog is about food and my body, I will take this moment to complain. I am wearing a pair of jeans I got in September. They don't fit me any better and I have been working out (improving in the strength area) and eating better, but not too much has changed on the physical front-the jeans actually make me feel fatter. I can see where my abs would be if I had less chub on my belly, and I can definitely see my arm muscles.. but there is still too much fat on everything. My legs look shorter.. could it be that I'm gaining bulk on my legs?? I don't want that!
Ugh. I feel like the key is running. For me. We'll see how it goes once I get back into it.
Breakfast:
2 eggs, 3 strips turkey bacon, some sweet potato and avocado. See? Big breakfast.
Snack:
4 mini eggs / coffeeeeeee
Lunch:
Raw Italian Bowl from Fresh.
Dessert:
4 squares of 80% dark chocolate. It has less sugar, fat and calories than a lara bar.
Dinner at Live organic with my friend Julie. It was great. I wrote a post about how much I like this place but it appears to be gone.. It mustn't have saved.
I had 'raw vegan tacos' and some cashew tiramisu dessert. Glass of Pinot Grigio.
