Week 1 - Back on the Wagon!

Paleo went to hell this weekend. I did pretty good during the week. That was almost easy actually. Then the weekend came. Aa asked what I wanted for dinner and I (jokingly) said "chicken Parmesan". I don’t have any idea what is involved with making that. And I thought I was being funny and he’d make something else. But he made it, and it turns out that it’s simpler than I thought, but it isn’t paleo. The chicken is breaded and he puts it on top of noodles. He made my chicken not breaded, but I still ate the noodles.

The next day we had errands to run, and then I planned to spend the whole afternoon scrap booking. Lunch time came while we were running our errands. And we were right next to Burger King. So we got Whoppers. I ate it all. I scrapped all afternoon, until the kids started to complain about being hungry. Demanding little guys when they get hungry. :) We had leftovers. There was chicken (breaded) and pasta left. It was delicious again.

Sunday was a little better, until after lunch. I had coffee and apple slices at breakfast. It was all I was hungry for. Then I got busy doing my chores. It’s amazing how fast the day goes when you are busy. Before I knew it the kids were complaining about starving to death, again. They complained to their dad this time and he got a pizza. I ate 2 slices. After I ate them, my energy level dropped like a rock!! I still puttered around but I’m glad I got most of my work done in the morning.

I’m back on target today. I still haven’t figured out a breakfast. I’m not normally a breakfast eater. Even though I know it’s "the most important meal of the day". I don’t really every feel hungry or like eating until about lunchtime. I am trying to try harder, but it’s almost as though I don’t know HOW. What is a good paleo breakfast, that is easy, quick, and doesn’t require cooking?

I had veggies with humus dip today. It was surprisingly satisfying. Don’t have a plan for dinner yet.

Stepped on the scale this morning and I was down 1.2 pounds for the week. I didn’t get around to measurements yet, but I haven’t forgotten.
