All I can say really about today is what a sh*t storm of a day. I mean, don't get me wrong, I was happy that I was busy but the setup I have in the kitchen is not to be desired! I could increase my product time if I had a proper "make table", which I have zero! Oh, this is about work, in case you didn't catch on to it.
I went to bed not feeling the best after last night's dinner. Who knows what part of it didn't agree with me. I was kinda hungry when I woke up and practicing yoga, but didn't want to eat. I figured I would have a protein shake later at work and took a bar with me too. Well I made the shake about 9:30-ish and didn't finish it. I ate my bar between 12:30 and 1 and got stomach cramps after that. I did also have a but of almond butter and a cortado. Maybe if I stayed on point with my foods I wouldn't have a wonky stomach! BUT, I didn't eat bad last night. We went to Mt. Chalet and I got my usually burger with guacamole, coleslaw and bacon. Though this time I did add a fried egg. Maybe I have been having too many eggs and almond butter. The eggs just slip in there so easy. The almond butter, well I just don't need to lick the knife! My skin hasn't been bad besides the 2 pimples on my cheek that won't really go away ( I pick too, doesn't help), but almost gone!
So I'm trying to think back to Friday.... I really don't think anything super exciting happened. I worked of course, so nothing new there.
But this happened! I mean LMAO! Love Coffee Ripples. I don't remember what I had for lunch, wait! Yes I do. I didn't take a photo because it didn't look pretty! It was roasted maple brussels, kale and ground turkey. It was tasty and did the job, keeping me not hangry!
Dinner was a PaleOMG recipe!! Southwest turkey sliders with avocado dressing slaw. D wanted nothing to do with it 😔 It was really good. A hint of spiciness to both the slaw and turkey. The slaw was creamy from the avocado and little bit of olive oil. Really tasty and different from what I normally make. I would make it over and over again, but a single serving since D wouldn't eat it.
Saturday lunch turned out to be some leftovers since my protein pancakes were an epic fail! I was still kinda full from my shake, but since I just lifted and I need to add a few pounds I ate anyway. My pancakes turned into a glob of gu! Probably because I blended the banana and not mashed it. I had some roasted cabbage and topped the burgers with mayo.
After I ate I took Stryker to the pet store to get a bath . He did really well, but he did jump out of the tub in the end. I bought him a cookie anyway!
Saturday means dinner is out! D got back from the gym after 6 so we were limited as to where we could go and not wait. So we walked over to Mt. Chalet and was lucky enough to get the last table! I had the piedmontese burger (medium rare) on a bed of romaine lettuce with coleslaw, guacamole, bacon and a fried egg. I so think I over did it! There was 6 slices of bacon on it! I ate everything but the tomato slices and lettuce under those. I only dipped into the mayo a few times, so most of that was left. When I got home I made sure to take my HCL. I just didn't feel well the rest of the night. Even when I woke in the middle of the night to pet a purring Felix next to me I wasn't right.
As soon as I got home I fed the animals and poured a glass of wine. I relaxed on the couch and no sooner as I finished my wine D got home. I was lucky enough to have the leftovers from Friday and D's leftovers from last night so all I needed to do was re-heat everything and dinner was served. I did have some cashew butter filled chocolate after dinner.
I know what you are thinking.... you had a bad stomach yet you drank wine and had chocolate. You didn't really eat well all day.
Yeah, I didn't make the best choices but I don't dwell or stress on them. Tomorrow is another day and I will make fabulous choices and not have any of the "bad" stuff I shouldn't. Mainly sugar. Come on! even the best paleo/AIP bloggers make decisions that are not the best for them. We make up for it and move on.
Till tomorrow!
