Long weekend!

I had a long weekend, and a decent bit of cheating, which I thoroughly paid for :(

Yesterday, I had a vermicelli bowl with no vermicelli for lunch, and baked chicken and salad for dinner.

Today, no breakfast again.

Lunch will be dim sum. I'll have the Chinese broccoli and possibly some shrimp dumplings. They have rice paper, so it'll be GF, but not paleo. I haven't quite decided yet...

Dinner will be leftovers from last night.

Day 10

Thursday, May 12

No breakfast again today. I just had coffee, and then had to hurry and get Jordan to a doctor's appointment. Poor guy woke up telling us his mouf hurt. He has strep :(

Lunch:

Dinner:

Day 9

Today I go to see Mamma Mia with some girlfriends! Yay!

Breakfast: Mushroom, onion & bell pepper omelet with a little cheese and a bit of sausage and 2 thin slices of bacon.

Lunch: Chicken salad from Chick fil a with buttermilk ranch.

I also caved and had about 1/3 of a Coke Zero today. VERY bad idea. My head is throbbing. I'm assuming from all the crapola they put in it.

Dinner: Damian's again! I'm thinking I'll have the Shrimp Damian and have them sub the fettuccine for some veggie. And of course, a glass of yummy wine.

Then it's on to Mamma Mia!

Day 8

Tuesday, May 10

Pants are a little loose today =)

I did not have time for breakfast this morning. Ben made me some coffee and had to go to work early, so it was just me and the boys.

I made them eggs, fried for the big kid and boiled for the little. Yes, I cater to them =)

...sometimes

We rushed and rushed and I handed them each a GoGurt (no HFCS!) as we went out to the car.

I actually made it to work on time.

Lunch- I had a few errands to run, so I stopped by Chipotle. I thought it would be hard to not have my rice and beans, but it was just as yummy as ever.

I had a steak & chicken bol. The steak wasn't great. I'm sticking with chicken next time. I had pico, red hot sauce, guac, a tiny bit of sour cream, & lettuce.

I really wanted to cheat and have an iced tea. I soooo miss iced tea. But since I NEED my morning coffee (with sugar), I decided that is my only sugar concession.

Dinner- Crock pot pork roast with sauteed cremini mushrooms and onions. I also had half an avocado, which the boys stole about half of ;-)

Snack-Sweet potato fries from Costco. I know these aren't exactly paleo. They have cornstarch and a few other non-paleo ingredients.

They also hurt my tummy. So I won't be having those again.

Day 7

Monday, May 9

Back to work. Of course, I'm scrambling and late this morning, so I didn't have anything for breakfast. I'm pretty hungry right now, as I have once again gotten used to eating a substantial breakfast of protein and fat.

Lunch: Sushi! Miso soup, tuna, salmon, escolar, mackerel sashimi with avocado slices on the side. Yummy.

Snack: About an ounce of almonds (raw)

Dinner: Ben made Bourbon Chicken. Pretty much the only thing he can make, but he does a GREAT job =) It was quite yummy. The sauce did have a bit of brown sugar in it, but I didn't have much sauce on mine. And I skipped on the rice, of course ;-)

Days 5-6

Weekend eating!

Saturday, we went to Lake Somerville to fish and picnic. We had a blast! I was a bit worried about it, since all our neighbors would be there and we'd be grilling hot dogs and have chips and beer. But I did well.

Breakfast- 2 scrambled eggs & sausage.

Lunch- Lunch was at the lake. I had some kielbasa from HEB, no bun. Oh, and I also had a couple hard apple ciders.

Dinner- For dinner, I used some of our beef order that I had picked up that morning. I grilled up some simple burgers, and had it topped with bacon and avocado. I also made some crab and bacon stuffed mushrooms (these did have a bit of Parmesan cheese on them, but I'm not entirely cutting out dairy.)

I also had another fudge ball. I'm totally in love with these things. SO yummy, perfectly sweet, and one is more than enough for me!

Sunday-Mother's day.

I woke up to coffee in bed. Lovely =)

Breakfast- I made myself an omelet with mushrooms, onions and red peppers and had 3 links of Hormel's little sizzlers (GF)

This breakfast kept me full for quite a while.

We all went to my sister's for Mother's Day dinner.

I don't even know how much I ate, but it was a lot. =)

I had deviled eggs, bacon wrapped shrimp, a few baby carrots, cajun roast chicken, and salad. It was very delicious and satisfying!

I was up a bit later than I normally am, so I got hungry around 10:30. I was lazy and just heated up some leftover breakfast sausage. I probably should have gone with something with a few more nutrients, but...meh =)

Day 4

Friday, May 6

So yesterday, I kinda screwed up a bit. I took Jacob to get his allergy shots, and of course, they get lollipops afterwards. I took one, ate it and didn't even THINK about it until after I had eaten it. It was just a tiny DumDum, but still. I've cut our all sugar except my morning coffee. (And small amounts of added sugar in bacon)

Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs in bacon grease, about 3 thin slices of bacon

Lunch: Chicken Vermicelli bowl hold the vermicelli!

Dinner: Crab & avocado salad and a fudge ball. YUM
