Day 3

Had a coffee with 3 Truvia packets and 4 little Vanilla creamers (bad!) this morning.  Then had a Honey Stinger Waffle around 11am.  The waffles are not paleo, but I'm letting myself eat them anyway.  LOL

Ate lunch after work, around 3pm.   Had a bowl of my carnitas, and a couple raspberries.

At 5:30 I did a 21 mile bike ride with a friend of mine, along with a group of people with a local bike shop.  It was quite hilly and kicked my butt!  Felt good to get back out on my road bike, though.  When the trails are too wet to go mountain biking, I want to start road riding instead,

At 9pm my family brought me back Chipotle since they went out to dinner without me.  Good thing, though, because they had Mexican!  No chips for me  :( So I had a barbacoa bol with white rice, tomatoes, lettuce and cheese.  I know true paleo is no grains, but I'm allowing rice on occasion.  Then I had a couple raspberries to satisfy my sweet craving.

My sister brought over homemade cookies for my parents that looked delicious!  I successfully was able to not be tempted to eat a bite!  :)

I'm exhausted now!

Here is the recipe for the Carnitas:  I don't follow them exactly.  I tend to not measure out ingredients and just throw them in as I please!  lol
