In keeping with the Mexican theme, I made shredded beef tacos on soft corn tortillas, guacamole, and salsa. Not totally Paleo but still no gluten. For dinner we had barbecue beef on a Paleo coconut wrap.
I still have a very stuffy nose and sneezing. I hate allergies! They make me tired, and I don't feel like doing anything!
Until tomorrow, goodnight and God Bless!

Day 125: Sinus Pressure
About 2 days ago, I noticed I was sneezing a lot more than usual, and last night I started getting a sinus pressure headache. Today my head is pounding and I don't like it one bit! My nose is starting to clog up too!
I did eat mostly Paleo today, eating out at Rib Crib for lunch. I didn't realize it would be so difficult to find gluten free food at a restaurant that is meat based! They put gluten in their hot barbecue sauce but the mild is ok. Their fries also contain gluten. Now tell me, why do you need to add gluten to fries? So I ate chopped beef with mild barbecue sauce and a double order of coleslaw. For dinner I made a salad with boiled eggs, bacon and fresh veggies.
Time to go take something for this stuffy nose and headache and try to get some rest, so until tomorrow, goodnight and God Bless!

Day 123: Family Time
Tonight we spent most of the evening outside spending family time with our almost 20 year old baby. It was very nice, especially since she may be leaving the nest this coming fall. She is considering going away to college. It was a very special time, but also a bittersweet time since these may be some of the last times we will have these talks. I really love my family, and have been so very blessed with my family! I thank the Lord daily for the family He blessed me with!
Paleo food for the day: breakfast was a coconut Zone bar then after Crossfit, bacon and sausage. Lunch, left over Curry chicken, sweet potato and salad and for dinner brisket on a coconut wrap with plantain chips and veggies. I also drank a Margarita tonight a rarely done thing!
Crossfit was a 20 minute work out with as many reps as possible of 400 meter run, 10 pull ups and 15 thrusters. I did ring rows and my weight for thrusters was 35 pounds, and I did 3 reps. Starting to feel sore! Getting ready to take a nice long shower to sooth the soreness, so until tomorrow, goodnight and God Bless!

Day 122: The Great Outdoors
I decided to take a few minutes and enjoy the beautiful weather outside this evening. While I'm sitting here in my rocker on the patio I'm enjoying the sounds of the chirping birds and some ducks just flew over its very peaceful! I just read an article someone posted on Facebook about a guy that has been eating Paleo for about three years on and off. He started eating Paleo when he joined Crossfit and noticed a difference and lost weight, but he was running in a Marathon and thought he needed more starches so he went off his Paleo diet. He noticed a weight gain and over all started feeling sluggish and didn't perform as well as he had hoped. He went back on a Paleo diet while training for another Marathon and ate more sweet potatoes while sticking to the Paleo diet and said he performed better. He also said that it was easier to go back to eating Paleo the second time, and I have found this to be true. When I started eating Paleo about one year ago, it was really hard giving up my unhealthy food items, but over time I finally did. After a few months and noticing a weight loss I started eating the wrong things again not thinking it would hurt me, but I did start gaining weight again and feeling sluggish and I knew that wasn't the type of life I want to live, so in January I started a strict Paleo diet for 30 days, and it was a little easier not eating the things I shouldn't plus I had set my mind to this goal. I have now been following a mostly Paleo diet for the last 122 says, but I do have my cheats, like tortilla chips, an occasional potato chip, chocolate (usually dark chocolate) and cream in my coffee, and other non-Paleo dishes but NO gluten or wheat! I'm going to keep pressing on!
Tonight was Brazilian Curry Chicken and it was very good. I love curry and its spicy flavor! Not energy one likes curry, I have found that its a love/hate relationship with people. You either love it or hate it, there is no in between. Well, I've set out of Crossfit the last few days and am planning on going tomorrow and I've got to get things ready, so until tomorrow, goodnight and God Bless!

Day 121: Ready Made!
It was so nice to come home from a long day at work and have a nice meal ready and waiting! We had Mushroom Gravy Slow Cooked Rump Roast, and it was very good. I had my roast on a Curry Coconut wrap with lettuce, tomato and purple onion, and some plantain chips. Tomorrow the plan is for Curry chicken, yum, yum! The best part about that is it will be waiting and ready when I get home tomorrow!
I was planning on going to Crossfit this morning, but it was storming very hard, so for my safety I decided to forgo the workout and was planning on working out when I got home from work. Well, like I said that was the plan, but getting off work late then having to meet with someone in Tulsa at 7 got me back to the house late and I don't like working out too late in the evening or it keeps me up at night. Now the plan is to workout tomorrow.
It looks like another stormy night, so I better turn in to get some rest before the storm hits, so until tomorrow, goodnight and God Bless!

Day 120: Power Cooking Paleo Meals for The Week
Today I power cooked several meals for dinners this week, so all I have to do is heat and eat. I made a tequila shrimp dish for our dinner tonight, mushroom rump roast, curry chicken, rosemary garlic chuck roast and a sweet and sour chicken. They are still in the crockpots cooking but will be done about 9:00 tonight and then the rest of the week will be more stress free for me! I just have to come up with a veggie or salad or both, but that's ok!
Today after church, me, George and Georgia went on a picnic and had a great family outing. Afterwards we went shopping all over creation and when we got home I started my power cooking, now it's relaxation time, and part of my relaxation time is going to be spent outside planting a few more herbs in my garden, so until tomorrow, goodnight and God Bless!
