Happy SaturYay! Honestly I feel this way everyday.
Though I have to say this morning I really wanted to sleep in. Just before 5am, Jack decided he needed to go out. I went downstairs and let them both out and went myself. Nostrand thought that since I was up it was time to eat. I don't think so kitty! I want to go back to sleep. The dogs came back in and I headed back upstairs to a comfy warm bed. Did I get restful sleep?!? NOPE! Jack kept kicking me and laying on me (he's almost 70 lbs!). Nostrand kept coming up and jumping on me and making all sorts of nosies. Jack got up 2 or 3 times and went downstairs and then would come back up and bump the bed. I finally gave up around 7:30, so not horrible but definitely wanted to sleep longer.
I headed downstairs and got everyone fed. The dogs them like to tap dance around the house after the cat waiting for her to throw up. Of course she did and where did she do it on? My silk scarf from Paris. UGH!! I rinsed it off and threw it downstairs in the washer until I could figure out the best cleaning option. Seriously cat?!? I'm really not surprised, it's what she does. This is another reason I cannot have nice things!
It was so time for coffee! D wanted to try the new Starbucks Blonde espresso so I ordered on the app and headed down the street to pick it up.
I didn't have much left in the refrigerator, I lack for Whole30 sauces currently too. I'll probably shop today after the gym. I had leftover ground beef and frozen tri-colored cauliflower and brussels. I sautéed those up with the beef and topped it with arugula at the end to wilted it down and incorporate everything. Sprinkle on some sea salt and it was good to go. So I talk about not measuring food or counting macros, etc. The one thing I do is weigh my meat, but that's it. Why do I do it? Well, I still have a problem with satiety. I've been trying to figure out what is a good amount for me and what will make me feel satisfied by the end of my meal. I find that it takes me almost an hour after I eat to know if I feel full, stuffed, hungry, etc. It's kinda frustrating. I don't eat quickly. I've always heard that it takes 20 minutes to feel satiety when eating, so I'm there, but not there. Maybe one day I will figure it out. Maybe I just need to still feel hungry when I'm done eating in order to feel full an hour later. WHAT?!
I ate the rest of my ground beef before heading to the gym!
I did my workout with a few added exercises. I've been trying for some more posterior chain exercises, but I've been heavily leg focused, but I definitely get a mixed of upper and lower body lifting and getting in all planes.
After the gym I went grocery shopping at Trader Joe's since it's in the same strip mall just at the other end. Everything was so busy today! I got almost everything I needed, so I had to make an extra stop at Whole Foods! Oh darn!
Of course, I picked up more than I needed! I got some sausages, a lamb chop for this week's dinner and a big snack for when I got home. Nom Nom Paleo is featured on their hot bar all month. So I got to try her Pulled Pork, Brussels with Bacon and Cauliflower rice. All of it was so good and just what I needed. Before I headed out I stopped at the coffee bar and got myself a decaf coffee.
This was just what I needed and I happily snacked on it as I put my groceries away. The rest of the afternoon was pretty uneventful.
Saturday night is our take out night. We usually go out but I suggested 7Greens. The Blake Bowl sounded awesome! He agreed and we decided I would order online and go pick it up. They were only open till 6pm on Saturday. D headed out to get his haircut and around 4:30 I placed our order for 5:15 pick up, then was told it needed to be later, so I made it for 5:30. At 5:15 I received an email that my order was cancelled! I called 7Greens and it just rang. I hung up and called back and got the "Sorry but we are closed" message. I'm super ticked about it!
So, D suggested Qdoba, ugh! I hate chain restaurants. I was cranky now and feeling bloated from my snack (brussel sprouts!). I headed there to get dinner. I almost didn't get myself anything and was just going to make a Blake Bowl at home. I should have cause my food just wasn't good.
I made it as compliant as possible, but really it's what I get every time we go. It's been awhile since we both get bloated after we eat there. So bloat on top of bloat -great!
I got the naked salad with pulled pork (only meat that doesn't have funky stuff in it), pico and salsa verde with fajita vegetables and guacamole. I feel more bloated now and hoping it goes away before bed.
Monday I'm venturing into Whole30 AIP. I've been eating too many peppers, tomatoes, etc and I think it's been bothering my gut. I shouldn't be getting bloated as often as I do.
Tomorrow is work and early to bed tonight.
