Day 3-Paleo

Day 3-Paleo Plan
Again, as I was going to sleep I was thinking of chocolate, this time in the form of a ding dong or ho-ho. Now I haven’t had those in about 17 + years so not sure why my mind went there. It’s funny but when I get up I don’t really crave chocolate.

I was hungry this morning and wanted to grab a bagel. It was my easy go-to morning fix for hunger. I did not do it. It also helps that I did not buy my favorite bagels either. So I just went about my routine and made my usual breakfast.

I am taking the kids to the museum today so that should distract me for most of the day.

Here is what I ate:
Breakfast: 3 eggs scrambled, 1 sausage, 1 strawberry and 1 glass of tea

Snack: 1 cup blueberries

Lunch: roasted chicken and apple

Snack: almonds

Dinner: grass fed tenderloin and ½ raw cucumber/carrot

Well I didn’t manage to take the kids to the museum as I had other pressing home issues. So this has allowed me to think of food more than I would.
I have to admit the rest of my house is not on my same plan which will be a true testament to my control issues. For example, I made homemade bread for them. The smell is overwhelming and of course I savior the taste of fresh baked bread. But alas, I choose to see them eat instead. I’ve had a love affair with food for 40 years and now its time to take a step back and reevaluate that relationship.

I also made chili tonight for them. We have a ton of beans (pinto, red and black) that Rich purchased a long time ago. He keeps harping me to make something with them. So I did but of course the kids pooped on my parade. 2 out of 3 would not eat it. So

I made the middle child eat some of my meal—working on paleo (he he he).
I’m also going to start eliminating the bad things in the house. I’m going to take all the pasta and use it as crafts for the kids (once it is all gone..that’s it). I’m not a big pasta person either so that won’t be tough for me.

I feel my menu choices are really limited/strict right now but I wanted to go all out instead of half-assing it. If I’m going to do this then I’m going to do this.

I might get to workout tomorrow….yeah.
