Sunday Workday

Sunday Workday and I didn't have to walk this morning.  I still got up at my usual time for my yoga practice and my protein shake.  This morning wasn't cold but I had a few things to take into work and I told D I would make him a coffee when we got there.  It's only a 2 minute drive or a 20 minute walk.  I made myself a matcha latte with coconut milk but only had a sip.  It wasn't what I wanted, so I opted for a macchiato.  We got snow on Saturday and was getting more today.  Pretty much I didn't want to have to deal with walking.  I got things done that I needed to but work was slow with it snowing on and off and also it's Super Bowl Sunday, so people had that to get ready for.

Around 10:30(ish) it was about time for lunch

I had the remaining piece of my Bacon Chorizo (no chipotle) meatloaf.  Even cold it was so good!  I had the rest of my roasted broccoli and some greens on the side with sea salt and cracked pepper.

 Isn't this the cutest?!  This is what I got to come home to.  On my way home I did stop at Pet People to pick up some toys for Felix.  He really loves to be out with us yet he hides a lot in the office closet.

Jack was on his bed just chewing away on his bone.

Felix finally made it on the mantle.  He has been looking at it for days!

I made PaleOMG's Cilantro Chicken Nuggets - but that's not what these are!  For D's I followed her recipe and it looks just like her pictures.  You can get the recipe here, you won't be disappointed!  I made these with chorizo instead for me.  The recipe was the same though.  I made the dipping sauce for him and I had the ranch (Tessamae's) from my spinach salad.  This was seriously good!  I can't wait to make it again.  I know I wouldn't have made it if it wasn't on my Real Plans menu.  I mean maybe but now that D has given it the "yeah it good" I will be making it again.  He very rarely says that!  Thanks Juli (PaleOMG)! 

Well it's Super Bowl time and it's the only time I watch football!  Until Monday!  Enjoy!

Whole30/Sugar Detox/AIP Journey - Day 30- (What I ate for the day)

Last day of Whole30/Sugar Detox!

What does that mean? NOTHING!  I'm just going to keep going.  As I said at the beginning this is how I usually eat with a few treats here and there.

So what happened today on the "last" day?  Not much different than the usual.  First it's my day off, but I was still up with D's alarm and taking care of the animals.  Today was going to be a "wing it" kind of day.  We were getting a door repaired and had to wait for the call between 8 and 10 as to when they would be out.

I decided to have a decaf coffee at home with cinnamon and coconut milk along with my shake.  No it's not "Whole30" compliant but doesn't have anything nasty in it and it's an experiment to how I feel  with a shake at breakfast.  Maybe there will be a point I will do it after a workout or for lunch. We'll see!

I decided to not wait around since I needed to get a covered litter box and a few things from Better Health since they were having a sale on protein powder.  I got the call while I was shopping and I had time since he wasn't coming until the afternoon.

Gym time!

Starting with the L Raises I did ab work in between sets.

After that I decided to get milk for work so I had to stop at two Kroger and clean them out of almond milk!  Kinda frustrating when that is the best frothing almond milk around.  Of course it was nice there was a Starbucks right next store!  I have been loving the macchiato's lately!  I know I was cheating on work but it was right there.  How could I not?

COFFEE!!!

I was starving by the time I got home and needed lunch stat!  My Real Plans lunch was PaleOMG's "My New Go-To Meal"  I did change it up slightly.  I used a chicken sausage, no bacon and I added cabbage.  This was seriously good!  On a down note I had horrible bloating!  Ugh, those dang brussels!  I'm giving them up for a while after what I have are gone.  At least for a month to see how I do.

I had enough time to do some things around the house while the door guy was doing his repair.  He left at the perfect time so I was able to run the stuff I picked up earlier to work.  When I got back it was time to meditate and then feed the animals.  This guy, Felix, needs to work on being self sufficient. I have to get him to eat and go to the bathroom cause otherwise he lays around all day.

Food must be put in front of him or he won't ask to eat!  I don't have that problem.

He loves to stretch!

Noises from puppies have sparked his attention.

I prepped dinner earlier so all I needed to do was pop it into the oven.  It was going to take over an hour to bake.  Again, another Juli Bauer recipe!  Bacon Chorizo Chipotle Smothered Meatloaf.  This was unbelievably fantastic!  I didn't have the chipotle though.  Maybe with some of the leftover I will try it.

My piece came apart after I put D's on his plate.  I gave him carbs - mashed potatoes and peas.  I had sautéed cabbage and green onions.  He also asked for a grilled cheese after.  I scaled the recipe to feed 2 instead of 4.  There was still a pound of meat but so many vegetables!  So I guess you could say we each had half a serving.  I can see why he wanted more to eat!

Tomorrow morning will be early again.  D has to be to work at 7am and I have to pick up milk for work as soon as I get the email it's ready.  Then I will relax and do yoga.  Also, the vet is coming over in the afternoon to check out Felix and update Jack on a vaccine.
