I going to dive into this again!

I have been doing some reading and some soul searching. I know that I can't stuff the veggies down my throat and be happy. I know that not everything we eat is going to make us happy so ... I am going to take a stab at all of this again. I have never completely stopped doing paleo/zone. I just haven't felt guilty if I fell off the wagon. There really isn't an easy way to catch up on the last week. Since I am a pretty bland eater it might be easier that I think you give you a brief re-cap of the majority of the food I have eaten. Usually for breakfast I have my eggwhites, flaxseed, and some almond milk. Lunch has been turkey sandwich (yes Pepridge Farm thins) and grapefruit. Snack has been a zone bar or a Larabar and dinner usually consists of chicken or steak or pulled pork with beans or sweet potato.

I was informed again that what is lacking are the veggies ... no kidding. I know I need to try more. I just need to figure out how to cook them so they don't taste so bland. Last week I said i would put spinach in my eggs and never did. This week I will. Ok ... maybe next week since I really don't know when I'll be able to get to the grocery between now and Sunday but I will try. As far as everything else ... I'll work on it.

Have a great evening and I'll see you at CF!

I am not so sure about this ...

So here is the deal ... Not so sure I can/want to do Paleo for the next six weeks. I know that I am going to continue making healthier food choices but since I don't eat veggies or seafood I am pretty limited in my selection of meals. I am going to research into the Zone diet and see if that can better fit my food choices. I have slipped a bit this weekend but intend to continue posting my food as of today. I know that it won't be 100% Paleo but it will be the best I can do without being miserable. I will continue to try veggies but if I haven't liked them for the first 37 years I am not sure how I will like them for the next 37!

Have a great weekend and I'll see you at CF this week!

Double Day Update

I am a bit behind but since my eating is very boring it is not hard to catch up ...

Monday:
Breakfast: Almond flour pancake with Almond Butter (yummy)
Snack: Banana
Lunch: chicken and handfull of almonds
Dinner: Grilled Chicken .... I know I know .... Need more veggies! My problem is I hate them and I really have no problem eating pure protein night after night.

Tuesday:
Banana before morning run
Breakfast: Amond flour pancake with Almond Butter
Snack: Larabar (Banana is yummy)
Lunch: cheat since my daughter forgot to bring our lunchbox Zone bar and peach
Snack before WOD banana with almond butter
Dinner: Huge pork chop!

Long Day ...

This morning started off with a cheat ...
Breakfast: one medium Buttermilk pancake with kids
Lunch: Turkey rolls and strawberries
Dinner: grilled chicken

Getting ready to try making some almond pancakes so I can possibly use it as "bread" when I feel the need to have a sandwich.

If I don't change something my eating is going to bore me to death ...

Today started off with a nine mile run. I followed that up with a big bowl of fruit and a WOD! I had to do a make up so from a run to a work out! Love it! Eating for me was very erratic but still Paleo Friendly ... Fruit, Larabar for snack, almond butter on a spoon, Turkey for lunch, and then to wrap up the day I rewarded myself with a nice steak and a sweet potato (from all the running). Tomorrow I shop for sone more ingredients in order to make some more Paleo friendly dishes... Gonna get those Veggies in!

I feel like all I did was eat ...

Friday was a day FULL of Paleo Eating! I don't know if it was the stress at work or a full week of WODs and running but ... all I wanted to do Friday was eat. I did manage to make it 99% Paleo. By noon my head was killing me and my students were about to drive me over the edge so I splurged with a Diet Coke! Besides that I had... Breakfast; Left over chicken (from Dinner) and fruit, Snacked all day on a bag of nuts (sun flower, pumpkin, pine, raisins, a bit of dried fruit), Lunch was chicken meatballs and strawberries and blueberries, and dinner was more chicken meatballs. I know I know ... where are the viggies? My goal for next week is to find some viggies and some good way to cook them so that I'll eat them. I pretty much hate all veggies and salad so pure Paleo is hard for me. Next week I am really going to work on some more variety and have got to find some veggies that I'll be able to eat.

Food From Wednesday

Yesterday was a hurried and boring food day.

Breakfast was pretty much the same: egg whites and fruit

Lunch was apples, raisins, and walnuts dipped in almond butter

Snack: Larabar (apple of some sort)

and dinner was flank steak! Yummy.

I definately felt the lack of calories in my run this morning. Have to get a shopping list going so that next week I am much better prepared.

Stay tuned for today's update and hopefully a revised Blog Site. Mine is just way too boring!!!!!

The rest of Monday and Tuesday's meals are under the comments section from my first post. Still trying to figure this out. :)

My first Paleo Food update

As of today I have had the following:

Post workout: Left over pork from Dinner and cantalope
Snack: Larabar
Lunch: scrambled omega 3 eggs and blueberries ....

Now to go figure out what is for dinner. Must look in the Paleo cookbook!
