Today was probably the worst Paleo day I've had yet :( I was so busy I barely had time to eat anything. In fact, as I write this I just sat down on a plane to Colorado and all I've eaten today is a banana and two Kind bars.
Once I get to Colorado things will be better.... But as of right now I'm starving!! Ugh. I just hope these days are few and far between.

Day #12 & #13 -- October 18th & 19th
Still holding steady with my new way of life :) 10 pounds lost so far and I'm happy.
Day#12
For breakfast I had a piece of ham, unsweetend apple sauce and a handful of walnuts -- quick, fast and good!
For lunch I cooked a chicken breast and put slices over a salad -- used a basalmic vinegar dressing and topped with a few walnuts.
For dinner I tried my hand at apple bacon pecan stuffed porkchops. I little time consuming on the prep, but totally worth it!!!! let me know if you need the recipe.
Day #13
For breakfast this morning I ate one of the KIND bars I picked up from whole foods the other day.
For lunch, I had fajitas! We grilled out at work, so I had all the veggies and meat... just no tortilla or cheese. Pretty awesomely satisfying.
For dinner, I had a leftover porkchop.
That is it for today!!

Day #11 - October 17th, 2011
Another quick update for today's food choices:
Breakfast, fail again! Just coffee and a banana. However, acting on a tip from a friend, I have now picked up a few of those KIND bars as a quick breakfast just in case I don't have time to make any. No excuses from here moving forward.
For lunch, I ate a leftover piece of pecan crusted chicken that I prepared the night before -- still good :) -- and a salad.
For dinner, I ate the remaining chicken and another salad. I didn't have a whole lot of time tonight because I needed to go to the grocery store....
As a side note, majorly awesome find at Whole Foods tonight!! Flaxseed crackers :) they are sooooo good. I had a couple with dinner.
Until tomorrow!! :)

Day #9 & #10 - October 15th & 16th, 2011
Crazy couple of days with traveling to Ft Worth so I will try and keep it brief!
Day #9
Breakfast = fail :( just coffee on my drive north to ft worth.
Lunch = I did good! Went to an Italian restaurant and was able to order a salad with chicken.
Dinner = another success! Went to Cheesecake Factory, but was able to pick and choose a couple small plates :) mushroom lettuce wraps and a grilled artichoke. Very good! And for dessert, a bowl of fresh strawberries.
Now - having said all that I must admit a huge cheat of Saturday evening. My friends and I went out to Billy Bob's that night and I definitely partook in several beers and a couple sugary shots. I don't plan on making that a regular occurrence, so I don't feel too awful about it.
Day #10
Breakfast/Lunch was a bit of a combo meal. We went to the hotel restaurant around 1030 or so and I had a huge omelette - very good. All kinds of veggies, ham and bacon.
I was home by dinner so I cooked myself a pecan crusted chicken breast and had a salad. A good way to end the day!!
All in all, I think I did pretty well for being on the road and not cooking :)

Day #7 & Day #8 - October 13th & 14th, 2011
Sorry about missing the post yesterday. I wasn't slacking off -- just had a busy day :)
Day #7
Yesterday, I rewarded myself after a morning CrossFit workout with scrambled eggs w/ ham. Definitely hit the spot.
For lunch I had leftover broccoli and beef stir fry from the night before.
Dinner was a bit of a challenge because I went out to eat. This was my first test of trying to find something paleo on a menu.... kind of difficult, but I did okay. Most items had some element of non-Paleo in it. However, I settled on the grouper fish tacos w/ cabbage. I didn't eat the tortilla. I also had a side salad w/ chopped walnuts, apples and a vinaigrette.
Day#8
Today, for breakfast, I was running a little behind and grabbed just a banana. Note to self.... need to prep something the night before or buy something that is quick and I can grab before running off to work.
For lunch, I was presented with another restaurant challenge. I went to one of my favorite restaurants, Beaver's, knowing that I could probably do pretty well with Paleo. I ordered the beef shoulder and resisted the urge to pour on the BBQ sauce and eat the bread... it was awesome, just the same!!!
Tonight, I ate the remainder of the pork loin I made the other night and had a side salad.
This weekend will probably prove to be a challenge... I'm headed to Ft. Worth to see some friends. So, wish me luck!!

Day #6 - October 12th, 2011
Great news today :) I weighed myself and since I have started my Paleo journey I have already lost 7 pounds! So excited. I know some of it might be just a little fluctuation, but I feel like it is a good sign that I am moving in the right direction.
Foodwise, today was pretty simple.
For breakfast I ate a banana and had part of a leftover lamb patty.
For lunch, I brought in left over pork loin from last night :) still good!!
For dinner I made a broccoli and beef stir fry. Pretty decent, although I need to work on the ingredients... maybe add some more spices? Not sure.
Das ist alles!

Day #5 - October 11, 2011
Today was tough! I woke up a little late so I did not get to have a very good breakfast :( but, I was very good and resisted the breakfast tacos that were brought in for my morning meeting at work. I guess it is the little victories... I'm proud of myself for not partaking.
So, for breakfast I had just a banana... because I woke up late, I did not prepare what I meant to.
For lunch, leftover salmon and roasted green beans... much needed and still very good from the night before.
For dinner, I had my BFF Roxanna over for her birthday celebration and I made a pork loin in the crock pot with zucchini accompanied by steamed broccoli! delish :)
And, because I am trying to stay accountable.... I did have a couple glasses of wine. I know this isn't 100% paleo, but I am being honest! Staying away from vino and beer is going to be tough so I will have to make exceptions every once and a while.
Until tomorrow....
