Yesterday we helped family move, came home, had lunch, fell asleep, barbequed, had dinner, and rearranged the house because we got some "new" furnature. Breakfast, eggs, coffee, coconut milk. Lunch asian zoodles with meatballs. Dinner barbeque ribs with a spicey dry rub, soaked applewood chips over charcoal, turnip greens, grilled onion and green pepper. I didn't like the pepper.
When payday comes we are getting slip covers, art, and a centerpiece for the table.
I worked out. Had a job interview and forgot to blog. Oopsie. Fried Chicken, fried avocado, greens. Was.a lonely evening without David or.kids and I was sad.
21. I like that number. It equals 3! Breakfast was 2 eggs and lunch was 2 burgers with onions and collard greens, coconut oil, salt, pepper, garlic. Haven't worked out yet, but I plan too!!
Wow. What a day! My workout was running all over town with the kids and David! Holy shitake mushrooms batman! David got new pants, socks and shoes for work. Took the kids to the park and fed them PIZZA. I ate a piece of pepperoni and I thought it tasted NASTY. Stop eating processed or fast food for a few months. Seriously. Then try something you onced loved. One word: BLARGH! Unless, of course, you're David and all food tastes good, lolol!
We went to Culver's to see Tessa and have lunch (strawberry chicken salad with pecans and blue cheese with raspberry vinaigrette dressing!!!) and David made me cry. Ok so it wasn't his faukt and I shed no tears, but I damn near did. He insisted I kept a 20 this morning and I panicked... Because I lost it. I sat down. I felt miserable and said I was a f!@# up! He told me it was ok.Wenordered, Tess brought our food and I remembered that SOMEONE (David) got a haircut this morning and that YES I DID GIVE HIM THE 20 AND HE SPENT IT AND MADE ME CRY. Vindication.
Breakfast: two eggs and collards.
Lunch: groundbeef, onion, cabbage, tomato, basil, coconut oil on top of salad greens with red cabbage.
Um, second lunch: Culver's salad (above)
Dinner: chicken stirfry with frozen vehgie medley (carrot, broc, caul), ginger, garlic, turmeric, sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Some thyme.
Past few days I only ate around 1100-1200 calories because I wasn't hungry.
I'm hungry today.
Gosh, I've been slacking off on making big awesome breakfasts. I need to revisit the early days of this challenge and see what I was having. This morning I just had eggs and decaf coffee with coconut oil. Then I had nuts!!! Lunch was.pretty awesome. This weird salad with fermented shallots, sausage and sauerkraut. Also had frig pickles.... Trying to up.the probiotics from fermented foods! No supper yet. I figure I'll get to it later.
Oh and I ran/sprinted with the wii fit plus this morning and did 25 minutes of yoga!
Still keeping up with my whole30 paleo lifestyle. It rained like crazy today and changed our plans, but you can see I dressed up to go! I tried on a pink gingham button down that used to be tight on me and it was lose! Almost too big!! I was so focused on my belly that I didn't notice I lost inches off of my waist!! Yes yes yes!
We stayed home and cleaned, took us maybe an hour and a half. I got the dining room and living room tackled, and David got our room. I made some beef bone broth yesterday and I finished it this morning. I almost went to bed and forgot about it! Ooopsie!
Breakfast was salad with egg and avocado, but I only ate half of it. Lunch was a burger with a tomato/cucumber salad. Verrrry yummy. Dinner was pangasius fish... Lemon, pepper, salt and rosemary with melted ghee (clarified butter... That stuff that separates when you leave butter out on hot days) anr boiled cabbage and collards. ZOMG that was so good. Been so long since I had cabbage! Yummy! I'm snacking on sunflower seeds and if I get hungry later I'll have a fried avocado. I do need to keep up with my fiber! I've been slacking. See y'all later. Just finished The Last Olympian. Love the Percy Jackson series!
Some weird veggie thing yesterday for breakfast. We were out of eggs. Sad face. Meatloaf cupcakes for lunch. Brandy's had mashed potatoes since she doesn't like sweet potatoes. Dinner for me? Salad and more meatloaf. They had a pizza party with chips and oreo's. I was good beyond measure. Yay me. I even left the honey out of the sauce for meatballs and used grassfed beef.
We got to meet a facebook friend, Farrah! Yay! Tessa made her dad a pink apron for his birthday. With cupcakes and sparklesI worked out but dragged ass. I did the best I could and didn't give up. I think the problem was more having my period than skipping a day. Idk. Next week I won't skip.
Today was a rest day. I read and hung out with the kids. Fried eggs for breakfast. Two meatballs for lunch. Sunflower seeds for a snack. Italian hitdish for dinner. I used collards and after I thought "Doh! I have cabbage!!" Whatev's. There is always laters. Ok. By.
Oh yeah.... Halfway there!!
Uhhhh.... Breakfast...Banana and Two eggs. Then I went to work and got very hungry (for some reason, lol). I ate walnuts! Then I went shopping and ate cherries! I couldn't stop! Then I had almonds! Can y'all tell what started today???
Lunch was collards and a juicy choice ribeye steak, extra thick. I ate at least 8 ounces. I was NOT hungry when I came home. Brandy requested eggs, so we had eggs for dinner (hers with a glass of milk and a banana). David made himself eggs, fried potatoes and canned greens. I forgot to take a pic of that amazing steak. I just had two scrambled eggs with garlic.
I didn't work out today. Mehhh. I'll do it tomorrow. As long as it's 3 days a week, I'm ok with that. Also had a tantrum from hell. He doesn't listen unless I pitch a fit.
Skipped breakfast, cleaned, tantrum, cleaned, lunch of left over ground beef, zucchini and squash and half a fried avocado. It was ok. I didn't have egg so it pretty much sucked. And the coconut milk makes it good. Didn't use that either.
Freaky ass dreams last night. I woke up shortly after me and Brandy (?) Ran along rooftop ledges and jumped from roof to roof to escape a creepy bad guy. *shudders*
Rested, because I was wore out. Went to Aldi's for a few thing because the frig was empty. Dinner: creamed chicken and peas with a salad. Banana, Almonds and sunflower seeds for a snack. I'd kill a bitch for a Dr. Pepper and a bag of chips. And a plate of oatmeal cookies with a glass of milk.
Blah blah blah... At least I can poop again.
Creamed chicken with peas (how I should have done it)
3-4 boneless, skinless boobs
1 large sweet onion, cut up
1-2 yellow squash, cut up
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup coconut milk
1-2 T Oil
Salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, fresh thyme
Coconut flour
In a medium sauce pan, boil boobs in just enough water to cover with s,p,o,g powder. Put veggies in the food processor until minced real fine. This is what makes the gravy thick,so be sure to have at least 1 cup or more. I also only use one pan because my kitchen sucks balls. When the chicken is done, pour broth and chicken into a bowl. Pour 1 T coconut oil into pan, add veggies and stirfry. While that is cooking, shred the chicken. Add the broth and chicken back to the pan. Stir in coconut milk. I tried thickening with coconut flour by making a paste with broth. Idk that it worked, but it added to the flavor. I mixed in the paste, fresh thyme, moar salt and pepper, and a little evoo. I didn't have enough veggies, which is why this recipe calls for more. I simmered everything until tender and flavorful. Serve with cooked peas on top and side salad.
