Sorry for the absence-- my computer crashed after I knocked over my water bottle on my macbook:( It was a very sad day (especially since the next day I dropped my phone in the toliet-oh but it's working now!). So without a laptop it is harder to do convenient posts from my kitchen table.
On a positive note, my husband and I took an early anniversary trip to Charleston, SC! We had a great time aside from getting burned sea kyaking due to forgetting the sunblock. We are both very proud of ourselves for staying 80% Paleo while down there. It was easy to eat seafood, cutout the starch by asking for double vegetables, skipping an appetizer, and even dessert! Of course we had some drinks, but it is our 2 year anniversary and I don't feel bad about celebrating that at all!! At breakfast, I resisted delicious french toasts, pancakes, biscuits and gravy for a nice omelete, fruit, and bacon. We both felt so good, never too overstuffed that I didn't want to do anything. And after attempting to find a dessert stop around 10:30pm and finding everything closed, I realized that I didn't really need the dessert-- it was just habit kicking in. So now that I have had success skipping dessert and feeling good, I think it will be easier. Having a partner to do this with sure makes it easier!
Planning is a MUST
After we got home around 7 pm Sunday night, I had to think about the next day-- first day of the summer semester for me. I am in my last semester getting my Masters in teaching Math. Because I have class MW 8-4 and TR 12-4 I will have to pack many meals and snacks.
I made more egg muffins and tuna salad for the week to prepare me.
Breakfast: egg muffin, frozen berries in container
Lunch: tuna salad, almonds, small apple
Snack: walnut dip, red bell peppers for dipping
I am excited to see me planning everthing out. The planning continued to dinner
Mon: Chicken curry in crockpot with cauliflower and side of butternut squash
Tues: Stuffed bell peppers with brocolli
My husbands brother and grilfriend are coming to stay with us Wednesday night through Saturday so we had to think about what we will cook for them so we have it on hand. I had thought maybe I should put a startch on the meal plan, but decided, it is my house and vegetables are great!!
So here is to a great week of Paleo eating:)
