Well Day 1 on Friday, I already gave in and "cheated". :( Went to Frisch's for fish and chips, then came home and ate two bowls of Fruit Loops because I was feeling lousy about my lack of discipline. haha Ironic, yes.
Got back on track on Saturday, though. Ate veggies with walnut red pepper dip and leftover shredded pork loin that I made earlier in the week. Then I went to run 12 miles. I was very tempted to get something "yummy" for dinner, but after working so hard for 2 1/2 hours, I decided to be good and eat a healthy dinner of some homemade tuna salad, spaghetti squash with my homemade meatballs and some marinara then for dessert I had frozen blueberries.
This morning I had 4 slices of bacon (although not nitrate-free) and was feeling good and motivated. I stopped at the grocery after church and got a pot roast to make, so I made pot roast and mashed cauliflower to eat this week, as well as tuna salad.
I also made a new paleo dessert recipe- Coconut Chia Pudding! It wasn't as appetizing as I had hoped, but I think it might do the trick to satisfy a sweet tooth. I will post a picture of it and the recipe in my next blog post!
Unfortunately, for dinner I let myself cheat. Ughhh. Parents just came home from being on vacation, and they were SOOOO hungry, so we went out to BW3's. I got a Blue Moon beer and the Sampler of onion rings, nachos, mozzarella sticks and boneless wings. It was pretty satisfying, but I'm feeling guilty and mad at myself for eating that crap.
I'm finding it a lot harder to get myself back on track. I'm hoping that tomorrow- a Monday- will set me straight. I always do better on Mondays. A new week, a fresh start! (Sundays are kind of like the end of the week to me...haha) I've got food prepared, so I should be set for the week on sticking to clean Paleo eating!
By the way, I think that it was the ice cream that triggered the bad acne! I just heard on a Robb Wolf's Paleo Solution podcast that dairy triggers acne for him, so I'm thinking maybe that it is the culprit for me, also! I'll have to test this theory, for sure.
So this week, my goal is to eat as low carb as possible. I may even track my calories/carbs on the LiveStrong.com website Nutriton tracker. I want to get into ketosis "the body's fat burning state"...which basically means that the body is burning a lot of body fat! Which is definitely what I'm trying to do! Eating low carb is very hard, though. It means little to no fruit, so I'll have to cut out the grapefruit and blueberries that I would normally eat.
My move to California is rapidly approaching, so I'm working on keeping that in mind!! I MUST lose a good amount of weight before I move to LA!!!
Time to find that discipline again!
