Day 134: Too Many Wheat Products!

I was going to buy a can of chili tonight, but in reading the ingredients, Wolf Brand Chili had rolled oats, (not Paleo) and the generic brands had wheat. Why would you put wheat in chili? That's just crazy! You really have to read the label carefully and the wheat may be at the bottom of the list of ingredients. I see why you have to make your own food such as chili to keep away from the gluten and wheat products. Crazy!

Today and tomorrow will be non Paleo days for me. Tomorrow is Mother's Day and my daughter is making Mexican food. Yum! Today I had potato chips with my hamburger patty and tortilla chips at lunch with my chicken Paleo wrap.

My allergies are really bad today, and I really don't know why! I'm getting ready for bed so until tomorrow, Goodnight and God Bless!

Day 133: 20/20 On Weight Loss Programs

Tonight's 20/20 is on different weight loss programs and procedures people use to loose weight. It's really crazy the things people do to loose weight. They are getting ready to talk about people that have a feeding tube put in to loose weight. What ever happened to eating a well balanced diet and exercise? I am so glad that I made the choice to exercise and eat better.

Speaking of food, I did eat French fries for the first time today in about 4-5 months. I really can't remember when I ate French fries last! I had a hamburger minus the bun with the fries for lunch. For dinner I has baked chicken on a Paleo coconut wrap.

I'm going to finish watching 20/20 now, so until tomorrow, goodnight and God Bless!

Day 132: Car Shopping

As soon as I got home from work tonight we went car shopping. Not a fun thing to do. There are tooooooooo mannnnnny choices! We have an idea what we want, but not 100% sure! While we were out we decided to eat at Baja Jacks and you guessed it, I had my usual grilled fish taco and chips with salsa. The rest of the day was basically Paleo food with a salad for lunch and nuts for breakfast.

I have another busy day tomorrow, so got to get in bed. Until tomorrow, goodnight and God Bless!

Day 131: Helen

I still have my cold/allergies but I tried to do the Crossfit workout today which was called "Helen". (3 rounds for time of 400 meter run, 21 kettle bell swings and 12 pull ups). I didn't do a very good job! I scaled it down to a 200 meter run, instead of the 400 meters and I thought that I wasn't going to be able to finish the three rounds but I did in 12:26. With every step I took when running, my head would throb, but I still did it, and I'm glad I finished. I may not go back to Crossfit anymore this week to give my head and chest time to clear, because I don't want to relapse!

I has a lot of fresh fruit today, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and some grapes. Also had a protein drink with Almond milk for breakfast and after my workout a jalapeño cheese sausage from Quiktrip and unsweet tea. For lunch barbecue brisket and salad and for dinner a coconut wrap with roast beef, peppers and onions. I still need to try a little harder with the Paleo. Well, enough for the night, so until tomorrow goodnight and God Bless!

Day 130: Another Short Blog

I don't know where the time went, but it's late and I have an early day tomorrow with Crossfit starting at 6am so this is going to be short and sweet!

Sticking with mostly Paleo foods today I ate some nuts and drank coffee on the way to work. Lunch consisted of a beef hotdog without the bun topped with chili and I did eat some potato chips. For dinner I made baked sweet potato wedges, grilled Brussel sprouts with zucchini and mushrooms and grilled salmon and salad. I was pretty happy with what I ate today but I still could do better. Also, I noticed that I've not been drinking enough water, and that's my next goal. To drink more water daily! Well folks time to get in the sack, so until tomorrow, goodnight and God Bless!

Day 129: Not A Paleo Day

Today was a non-Paleo day! There was a luncheon at work and I had Mexican food and I had cheese and tortilla chips. Tonight was my Bunco group night and we had salads, veggies with dip and I had gummy bears! Gummy bears, you can't eat just one, at least I can't! I'm definitely going to do better tomorrow and try to NOT eat any sugar. Once you start eating sugar again, you can't stop!

There was a discussion at Bunco on not eating wheat. One of the ladies said that she read an article that said people were starting to eat diets free of gluten products by choice and not because of Celiac disease, and this was actually causing their body's more harm than good because they were not getting the correct amount of fiber. I had to totally disagree with her and told her that you DON'T have to eat wheat to get fiber, and if you eat enough fruits and veggies you will get all the fiber you need. If you follow a Paleo diet, you will get everything you need nutritionally! How do you educate people that have been brainwashed by our societies way of thinking? I would love to just know that I helped one person change their eating habits and get healthy. I guess that will come after I get my sugar addiction under control, but I will get it under control! Enough ranting for the night, so until tomorrow, goodnight and God Bless!

Day 127: Dessert Anyone?

No, I didn't make dessert today, but when I decided to eat Paleo, I thought I was going to have to give up sweets. Sure you can have cheat days on Paleo, but since I'm not suppose to have gluten, I thought that desserts were going to be a thing of the past. NO SO! I have been on Pintrest today and have found some really yummy sounding Paleo desserts, and when I get over this crud I have I'm going to make something sweet to eat. I found Paleo recipes for cakes, pies, breads, CANDY, baked fruits, you name it and I bet you can find a recipe for it. Yum, yum!

Today I've been resting most of the
day, so we had left over roast and I grilled some baby leeks and eggplant. I don't know what I'll be making for dinner, probably more left overs since I'm not feeling the best in the world plus I really can't taste anything. Well, I'm heading to church so until tomorrow, goodnight and God Bless!
