Munday

Holy cow, it's been awhile. I''l try to recount my steps over the past 3 days but i don't know that my memory is that good. ;)
Friday, I worked all day. Had a pretty good day. Resolved some issues. I grew a little in my personality and that's been a long time coming.
Saturday, I worked in the morning and hung with my family afterward. It was a pretty easy going day.
Sunday, we had a parents day out! My in-laws watched Baby Ax all day! That was nice to get away for a little while. (even if we only cruised Wal~Mart and took a nap)
And today, we just have plans for errands.
Food:
Friday, For breakfast, I only had a limited amount of time so I grabbed a banana and quick cooked some turkey bacon. Lunch was leftover spaghetti. NOMNOM. For an afternoon snack, I went to Chick-fil-a and ordered 12 peice chicken nuggets (grilled without breading) with a banana and apples from Sonic. Dinner was 2 porkchops, applesauce (o - natural) and Steam-in-bag mixed veggies (o).
Saturday, was a very lean day. I didn't feel like eating breakfast, but midmorning I got another banana from Sonic (it's across the street from work if you're wondering) and water. Then, lunch was canned chunk lite tuna in water and handful of Hazelnuts. Then a banana snack. Dinner was 2 chicken breasts(o) and sliced apples and mixed veggies (o).
Sunday: Breakfast - Rainbow trout grilled, steamed baby carrots, greenbeans, corn from CrackerBarrel. Snack- BuddyFruits cinnamon apples (o). Lunch - I grazed some. red grapes, natural peanut butter (o- no sugar added), sliced ham, `cherries, raisens. Dinner - 2 pork chops, sauteed onion&mushrooms, grilled asparagus and avocado. yums.

So, as this goes on, I have learned a few things. Eating out sucks. When you order veggies instead of fries, or grilled instead of fried you get more than one sideways look. And, of course, an up-charge. :/ The only place that I have noticed will understand your requests is Chick-fil-a. AND, the only use peanut oil! ... Some of my days are lean and I don't worry too much about it because according to some, Paleo has an occasional fast day because our Paleolithic ancestors had a hardtime finding food sometimes. ... I'm becoming a preservative nazi too. You don't really run into it with fresh veggies and fruit, but meat, you have to be careful. ... I'm finally getting to a point in this journey that I'm trying new recipes and puting together meals as opposed to just grabbing whatever is readily available to make a hodgepodge mixture of foods to just survive. ... Post breakfast yesterday, I had a hard time avoiding all the delicious looking desserts available. The pancakes, fried apples, glass of milk. eek, but the trout was awesome!! The cravings are getting better. I didn't think that sugar had sucha tight grip on me, but it does. ... I have been contemplating the use of juice. I know it's debated. On one hand, why the hell would a paleolithic man squeezed a fruit for the juice instead of just eating it? but on the other, just squeezing a fruit for the juice in this day isn't a sin. yeah, it's nutrionally inferior to eating the fruit, but sometimes, you just need a flavored drink. I'm of the opinion, that, if used in moderation, juice can be a part of this way of eating. Again, I'm a preservative and sugar nazi, so going for the juice that just has fruit juice is key. I picked up Dole's banana, pineapple, and orange juice and banana, orange, and strawberry juice. They are delicious! ... Right now, I'm attempting a mass egg bake concoction to make breakfast a little easier for me. With a 9 month old, I usually have very limited time for breakfast. I'll keep you posted on how it goes.
Until next time, have a great Paleo day!
