Right Narine?! Holy shit what a busy two weeks it's been.
Sleep was mediocre. Woke up a few times and had some trouble falling asleep. What's this all about? Active brain? Too much sugar? By 'too much' i mean a few pieces of dark chocolate in the afternoon and a late dinner.
Oh well, I am learning every day. I thought my run would put me to sleep. Yoga seems to be the best at tiring me out. Then crossfit, then running. Unless I kill it running and go like 6k +.
Breakfast:
Smoothie: frozen blueberries, 1 medium banana, coconut milk (from a tetra box, not a can....yuck) and some almond butter. Splash of vanilla. I wouldn't have had the banana in there but there are 4 on the counter getting riper by the day. I didn't want to waste them. It was a good breakfast. 2 bananas this week. boo!
Snack:
Americano and 3 pieces dark chocolate.
cucumber.
This weekend we have a wedding. A night of indulgence no doubt and you better buhleeeeve I'm drinking that bar. I don't think there was every a 'paleo' option in regards to menu choices. I'm sure it's steak and veggies though. Come to think of it, I'm looking forward to tomorrow night :)
Lunch:
leftover chicken thighs / veggies / sweet potato
It's rainy and shitty here, a great night so stay in and watch a movie. SO not making dinner.
Update: It got nice out.
Snackage (fail)
mini eggs - I really wish work didn't have them. Yes i have no control.
2 white wine spritzers. piece of brownie, a few cool ranch chips. I'm embarrassed writing it.
Dinner:
chicken parm sangwidge from our local eye-talian spot. so good. And german beer - (DONT COUNT)
Crossfit in the am for sure.

Busy
I'm behind in posts due to a busy ass week at work. I'm not even gonna recap. I was generally good aside from some chocolate I had yesterday and a fruit smoothie at night. I wasnt in the mood to cook, I was tired. Tonight we bbq!
I am lacking in the exercise department though. I'll be missing mah fran MA the next 10 days or so.. she's off to Florida on vacaysh.
Speaking of... I want to go to Paris. Again. Forever.
Breakfast:
2.5 eggs + zucchini omelette. 1 small tomato. coffee.
Snack:
Americano
Lunch:
Veggie frittata from Fusaro's. It was awesome. Def had cheese in it. / side salad
Snack:
few pieces dark chocolate.
4.57km run / 35 minutes - included a bit of walking, no more than 30 seconds at a time.
Dinner:
BBQ chicken thigh, grilled veggies, sweet potato. Avoided beer because it disturbed my sleep the night before. I've decided, in regards to beer, it's either none or 4. One will eff my sleep, a few will PUT me to sleep. haha. True though.
Creme Caramel Rooibos tea before bed.

March 20th, a high of 20ยบ for today.
Wonderful! Bring on spring! Bring on patios, cottages, walks, runs, drinks with family and friends... ah the list goes on. Summer rules.
Sleep was good, went to bed a bit late but slept most of the night. Maybe this magnesium IS helping my sleep...?
Breakfast:
1 egg, sauteed spinach, 1/4 avocado, coffee.
I'm cutting back from 2 eggs to 1 for breakfasts. See how that goes.
Snack:
veggie sticks, guacamole, americano
Lunch:
leftover stew - slim pickins, the cut of meat I chose for this stew as too fatty. So I didn't eat much of my stew.
2 big handfuls of kale chips (had a few bacon bits in)
Dessert:
1 york peppermint patty. The small ones.
Snack 3-ish:
1/2 sausage, cucumber, guac.
Working late again. Advertising wants their people to be fat. I'm convinced.
My back hurts.
Snack 530-ish:
pumpkin chips, coconut chips. snackage.
Dinner: 730:
Chicken breast, 1/2 red pepper, slice of eggplant, small container blueberries.
Hope to make it to CF tomorrow night.

Is summer here??
It seems like it. Beauty out. I don't have the courage to be outside yet. I'm still in winter hermit mode. My plan was to go for a run. I would still like to, but my clothes are in the bedroom and jamie is napping, dont wanna disturb. I'll wait.
Sleep was pretty good, but I didn't drink enough water yesterday.
Breakfast:
Almond flour pancakes. I made regular pancakes for everyone else. I loved mine actually. I added chocolate chips! I love CC's in my pancakes. Had them with butter, blueberries and maple syrup.
Coffee.
My cousin doesn't believe I enjoy my coffee black. I don't blame her. I never believed Jamie enjoyed his coffee black. I was like .. there is no way you enjoy that. It tastes like poison. But I only have black coffee now, and I love it. It takes getting used to, but eventually you learn to taste the coffee for what it is, and the bitterness becomes a craving. It's great.
Snack:
Some chocolate chips. Fail. And a pepperette.
Summer is well on it's way. Its so so nice out. I can't wait for summer evenings and weekends. Chilling at the cottage... anyones cottage. My deck. Love it all. Summer rules and makes everyone happy.
5.45km jog. Took about 40 minutes. Not bad. It was glorious. The weather was PERFECT for jogging. I got warm, I wasn't hot. I could smell my summer jog sweat and it made me happy.
Dinner:
spaghetti squash with meat sauce marinara styles. Mazing. Turned out exactly how I wanted it to.
Magners cider while I cooked. :)
This is what happens when I run. I think I can eat and drink more. In fact, I am extra hungry. Running makes you hungry. We're going for ice cream and there is nothing you can do about it!!!
Walking Dead tonight.
I had a great weekend.
love you longtime.

Happy St. Ciderday!
St Patrick's day, y'all. Not that I'm overly festive about it, but its a good excuse to make Irish stew and drink. Not excessively.
Woke up 9am, went to Crossfit. Pretty good sleep overall.
Brunch:
2 eggs, 2 slices bacon, sauteed spinach and a bit of leftover greek salad. Lots of coffee today. It's Saturday!
Snack:
85% dark chocolate. 4 pieces. Some red wine.
If the weather holds up, MA and I are gonna go for our Sunday goth run through the cemetery. We love it, it's always so dead. Ba-dum pshhh!
Tonight we're having company so I made "Irish" stew. Well, more like MK stew. Beef short ribs, veggies.. the whole nine. So good!!! I Start my stew on the stovetop and transfer to the oven for a few hours of slow cooking. This way I don't have to be nervous about the gas stove being on for a while.
I'll be drinking some cider tonight, and probably eating chips.
Tomorrow I am back to strict. I realize my goals are to reduce body fat, and it will happen. But I need balance of some sort or I'll go mental. Running will help.
Evening:
2 tall boy cans of cider: William's brand. It's Canadian, organic. I like it. It's on my list!
Kettle chips-salt and vinegar and plain. I didn't hold back.
Dinner was home made beef stew: beef, carrots, onions, potatoes, turnips.. the uje. I don't like sweet potatoes in my stew. Sorry.
85% dark chocolate. Prob ate half the bar or more. You know the bigs ones you get at the grocery store. Yeah.
Before bed:
a few puffs off a doobie and rooibos tea. What?
bye!
