Monday Almond Butter! Real Life

Monday morning.  I didn't sleep well but of course was wide awake for the gym.  Today was quad day.  It wasn't great since I ran yesterday.  My back was stiff so squats I could barely do, split squats were good though.  I finished my lifting with just over 10 minutes of walking.  Overall I'm not disappointed.  I have decided to continue tracking during this week to see how I feel at certain points in the day and when I last ate.


 BREAKFAST! Sat down to eat around 7am.

I'm loving cooking my greens in veggie stock, so tasty!  It's a good sized portion.


I stopped at Starbucks since it was double points day and got a Peach Tranquility tea again.  Just so good!  I refilled that cup about 2 more times with hot water.  By the end there was no tea flavor!  Then, I started feeling hungry right about Noon, so it was the perfect time to get home and have my shake.

Me spooning my shake with my almond butter and only 1 gram of sugar per tbs!  I love crunchy almond butter or peanut butter, flavored ones are even better!


Around 3:30 I was feeling a little hungry.  I know I wasn't bored since I had been pretty busy today.  I had a New Primal Uncured Bacon Jerky Stick.  I really liked this one, great taste

No picture of dinner but I can tell you it was a big salad and it was wonderful.  The chicken was smaller and I probably over estimated the amount of bacon since it was all chopped up.  I love to eat a lot of food and I never have leftovers, rarely ever.  I eat clean enough in general and a majority of it is vegetables so it's all good.  I'm comfortable with me 😍

After all this is real life.  Not everything is beautifully designed meals.  I get home I need to eat.  Whether that's in the morning or in the evening.  If I can prep large amounts on the weekends I do.  If I can't I try to find the things that make it easier and I use those.  I cook separate meals for both D and I.  It's not hard and dinner is always ready in under 30 minutes.  I have the tools to get it done.  I do what I need to do in general to get things done.  I bought an instant pot over the summer and it is the best tool I have purchased.  I love it!

I am happy today and my progress.  Every week is getting easier with various foods I can introduced back in, within reason.

My next challenge is to add a lot more variety of vegetables.  Dr Terry Wahls recently talked about getting in over 200 varieties and I think it's a great goal to accomplish.  I know there are a few things I can't have, for now, but so many vegetables to try it's exciting!
