Okay, so today...hump day...is my post day. However, I can't figure out how to post an official post from my phone:( Lo siento everyone! So far, this Paleo challenge has been going pretty well. If you are like me and work in an office setting it can be a real challenge. At the moment I am in a training complete with a Lou Malnatis buffet:) Throughout the week I have also fought off attacks from cupcakes, donuts, and pounds of candy. I have come to realize that I can do this....I have the willpower. Even more important, I have the knowledge of what is good or bad for my body. What I put into it is my choice:) Keep fighting the good fight everyone!
@Rae...for some reason I do not have the option to edit or post on this blog...unless I am lookinig in the right place. The little editting pencil icon that you emailed me about is not on here. Help:(
@Kelsey...you are right. We are all strong. Your menu is looking pretty yummy and balanced! I felt so good walking out of the meeting without touching the buffet. It also helped a lot when I noticed the bellys on some of those buffet-goers! lol. Mean I know:(
@John...I may have to try that meatless option soon. I will definitely be partaking of some pizza on Saturday, plus lots of liquor! Can't wait!
I also ordered my double chocolate protein shakes yesterday with two of the shakers like yours...plus a new scale and a fat percent measurer. I am so excited about getting healthier and tracking my results! Just joined the livestrong site as well to track my meals better:)
@ Yatta and Kelsey- you go girls! Don't forget...we'll have our Paleo Potluck and you can go all out there. : )
My food blog from yesterday:
Breakfast: a KIND bar, black coffee
Snack: Nectarine
Lunch: Bacon Frittata, a recipe I found from everydaypaleo.com. check it out. It was easy to make and AWESOME http://everydaypaleo.com/2010/03/21/recipes-for-a-day-in-the-life/
Snack: a few almonds
Dinner: 1/2 grilled chicken breast with mashed cauliflower Dessert: an apple and few almonds
I have done pretty well last two days with food. But in comparing my food intake to Kelsey, Rae, Kristine and Kenyatta, it seems like I am eating much more.
Anyone want to take a look and let me know what they think? http://www.livestrong.com/thedailyplate/diary/who/clmivey/
okay okay- enough creepin'...i'm going to start posting. Usually I don't have much problem through the week, its the weekends that get me. I'm also not completely sure what I am/am not "allowed to have" so if you see something that i frequent that i shouldn't...let me know!
here is the link to the livestrong thing... http://www.livestrong.com/thedailyplate/diary/who/ajcastle/
but my "dinner" is typically a recipe and i just put all the ingredients on there...i'm working on adding recipes.
yesterday:
breakfast two eggs- scrambled two turkey sausage patties (small)
alex, on the organic PB...i am addicted to almond butter, if you could not tell already from my posts, but i always make sure nothing else is in my "butters". as long as my almond butter says raw almonds in the ingredients, i down it. sunbutter is good too, but it does have some added sugar.
now...i must admit, i cheated tonite...but i feel like i earned it...ha.
tom, 2 pood was definitly not my first choice! it threw me around pretty good.
I'm a boring blogger. I've eaten the same meals for the last 3 days. I guess it's good to be consistent.
I hit up treasure island last night and they had a good deal on sirloin tip steak @ 2.99/lb. It's pretty lean and tasty. FYI.
meal 1: apple, about 16 oz of coffee w/ creamer
meal 2: 2 eggs, some egg whites, 1-2 cups sauteed spinach, 1/2 avocado, fresh pico de gallo, 4 or so oz of grass fed beef brisket (was on sale at whole foods).
Meal 3: 5-6 oz of gound bison and ground grass fed beef, about 2 cups of sauteed broccoli and mixed sliced peppers (frozen from trader joes), 1/2 avocado, fresh pico de gallo (Stanleys) a few dashes of chalula hot sauce, and a few grapes.
Meal 4: Apple
Meal 5: A few ounces of grass fed beef brisket, and about 1/2 cup of steemed/sauteed Delicata Squash (dense/starchy taste/texture) and a couple cups of iced coffee
Meal 6: post wod, Grapes, and about 40 grams of whey protein (90% isolate). glass of red wine.
Sunbutter rules, but it can be pretty damn addictive and will overload your carb intake pretty quickly if you eat a ton.
@Tom: A lot of low-carbers will use heavy whipping cream diluted with water as a milk substitute or just use it straight up. It's probably all good if you don't use too much.
If you want a good substitue for milk/creamer/etc., Kurt mentioned Coconut Milk. I tried it in my coffee this morning and it's pretty good. Adds a bit of sweetness which is nice.
any thoughts on the naked drinks that are rich in whey protein (non-dairy, either soy or coconut). im just trying to find a good post wod snack, especially for AM classes where im off to lab or clinic thereafter.
I will be in meetings all day until I am able to leave and wanted to be sure to get my food log in:
ReplyDelete2 scrambled eggs (1 egg white, 1 yolk) 4 pieces bacon
Ground Beef, Avocado, Tomato, Lettuce
Balance Bar (looking into the LARA bars)
Grilled Chicken, lettuce & Bacon Salad
(Had a sprite - not happy about it but I was in dire need of a beverage and the water filter was going really slow)
Headed to CFC WL tonight for the 6pm class - hope to see you all there!

ReplyDeleteMenu to come later....
good luck with that buffet!
ReplyDeleteOddly enough, if you're going to cheat, Lou Mal's actually has a pretty good option.
Crustless Pizza. It's got like 1g of carbs per slice and looks epic. Have yet to try!
Anyhow, I figured out how to make my profile public. Here it is. I need to keep up on adding stuff, been busy.
