Sun 5/22: Paleo Day 7

I looked at my intake yesterday and noticed something right away ... dull colours. Not enough dark greens, reds, or oranges ... which means I’m prolly not getting enough good nutrients. So I visited Fresh Market and went to town in the produce section... I can’t WAIT for the CSA to start!

Good morning, sunshine! 
  • 5 eggs with 3 no-salt turkey slices
  • 16oz coffee with coconut milk
  • Supplements: fish oil, multi, biotin, and folic acid

    Eating when I’m hungry and it seems to be getting a tiny bit easier.

    snacktime... 
  • handful of almonds
  • handful of dried cherries
  • handful of blueberries

    need to go food shopping... this really took the edge off my desire for the junk food and was good to graze on throughout the day while we were busy ... just 3 more weeks ... I can do this...

    worked out around 15:30, had endurox shot post-WOD ... which curbed my appetite and revived me until I brought home some groceries... I’m not sure if olives like this are ok for the paleo diet, but they prevented me from buying the hunk of feta cheese and spanikopita that was calling for me.
  • handful of kalamata olives

    Boy, I was hungry! 
  • loads of  sauteed bok choy with red onion
  • 1/4lb tuna sashimi
  • mango salsa with olive oil, cilantro, and lime juice
  • Supplements: fish oil, multi, iron, magnesium, gingko biloba

    Wow. Whatever hunger or cravings I had vanished when I had this. It was a huge meal and VERY satisfying. We really liked the simplicity and found we saved about 50% buying sushi-grade fish by the pound and cutting it fresh at home rather than getting sashimi made-to-order with all the packaging...


  • Notes

    I have a feeling I didn’t eat enough. Looking above, I can see that I didn’t get enough solid proteins in to sustain the day’s activities or plan my food well. It’s a process and I’m still working on it...
