So, life has gotten away from me a bit. The last 3 days (since its almost bedtime) have been a whirlwind! I worked all day on Friday, then Saturday morning I worked then went straight to Whole Foods for Ax's food (he's eating only organic. If you're curious why, I'll be happy to tell you. Just not right now). I probably should have just come home after work Saturday because I was exhausted. I didn't get much sleep Friday night and was just feeling plain worn down. more on that in a minute. Then came home to my family and caught a much needed nap, had dinner, watched Mackey play the soccer, then home (late). Then today Ax and I had church then bridal shower then home. I've been trying to catch up on laundry and cleaning and cooking but I can't seem to make any head way. : / Oh well, it will always be there, waiting...
So, Food. I have been finding myself skipping meals and delaying eating just because I can't find the motivation to make something, so don't be surprised at how little I have been eating. If I don't have something premade and ready to be eaten or warmed, I don't eat. I know this isn't a healthy approach, but I've been working on some strategies to help. I've been cutting up fruit and veggies so all I have to do is warm them or eat them. And the meat is a challenge because I have to premake that as well, but I'm not as good at it. I can really tell in my energy level when I haven't eaten for an extended period. My eyes get really heavy even though I feel ok. Then I find myself daydreaming more easily. I'll fix it!
Friday I had 3 strips turkey bacon with a banana for bfast. Lunch was Green Beans, cranberries, onions, bacon, Chicken and Beef fajita meat scramble. It was delicious!! And dinner was something good, I can't remember what it was, but Mackey made it. Then, yesterday morning I dodn't eat bfast because I woke up late. I didn't eat until 2p because of super busy. I had the chicken nuggets sans breading and fruit bowl from Chickfila! nomnom. Then dinner was hearty. Stuffed Bell Peppers with greenbeans bell peppers almonds sauteed! Mackey is amazing! Then after soccer game I had a couple slices of turkey breast ldeli meat with avocado. THEN, this morning, I had 3 strips bacon and 1 egg with a banana (half because Ax stole the other half!!) Lunch was lean because I was out n about (and chickfila was closed >:( ) Just some turkey deli meat, baby carrots, and broccoli. I was at a shower and they wanted to share punch with me, so I obliged. I was VERY sweet after all water!! Oh, I almost forgot, I was pretty stressed from Saturday's workday, I indulged with a 1/4 oz Dark Chocolate (76%). It was VERY good, but I probably should have just put my big girl panties on and dealt with my day. Meh. And Dinner is Flounder and steamed Veggies (zucchini, squash, carrots n broccoli). Although it's not my goal, I have lost 10 # in 3 weeks! Hooray! Maybe 150# by summer is feasible?
Got any ideas on quick Paleo finger food meats for a busy mom? I'd love to hear 'em!
