Weigh-in #2

Yes, I know... I'm sorry I haven't really been keeping up with everything. And if I'm being honest, my diet DID slack for a while. But I've been back on and doing great!

The number from yesterday is... 114.0! 

I'm super excited with the progress I've made both in the numbers and in how I look. I can't wait to see how I'll be next week! It's small steps but I'm getting somewhere :D

CANDY! pt.2

I have officially made the Paleo-friendly Twix bars from my previous post and they were rather tasty. Next up… junior mints! Sorry I forgot pictures, but I promise they will be included next time.

Miss me?

I'm back! I know it's been like, a week and I'm super sorry, but I've been really busy and I guess I've just kinda forgotten to keep blogging. But fear no more!

Last night I made Paleo English Muffins thanks to Stacey beautyandthefoodie.com! They were super fast, super easy, and surprisingly yummy! You can find the recipe here: http://www.beautyandthefoodie.com/quick-paleo-english-muffins/.

ANYWAYS, I got some Organicville BBQ sauce, (which you can find here: http://organicvillefoods.com/products/bbq-sauces/original-organic-bbq-sauce/) and may I say- YUM! I wanted little muffin pizzas, but since my favorite pizza is BBQ chicken, I opted to not go for tomato sauce. Not that there's anything wrong with it.

The sauce was really great, even if it was a little sweeter than I expected. I spread it all over my pizza and added some cheese, (I know, not exactly Paleo, but old habits die hard), bacon, and chicken, and it was GREAT! I think I'm in love. The best thing is I had enough left for lunch… and probably dinner again today. Woohoo!

I'll make sure to keep y'all updated, and as a sign of good faith, I'll even tell you that I got a membership to a yoga studio. Whaaaaaaaat?! Did I mention that it's HOT yoga? I've only done it once, but I decided I want to be even MORE active and it seemed like a great opportunity. Anyways, I'll keep you posted.

Sad day...

I'm extremely sad this morning because factors out of my control prevented me from eating breakfast. I'm starving and I COULD eat, but that would mean eating grains. It's tough, but I don't get lunch time until 3, so I think I'll have to. I'm extremely disappointed in myself, but this gave me an idea… work food! I'll start keeping a few emergency meals (or snacks) around in case something like this happens again. And hey, at least I'm admitting it right? I'll make sure to hit up the gym extra hard today!

Summer's coming!

I know it's almost summer when I start having meat and fruit for dinner every night! Tonight was steak and cantaloupe... my favorite of the melon family ;P I guess I better keep up this Paleo thing if I'm gonna look good in those teeny weeny itsy bitsy (you know the rest) bikinis! Wish me luck.

 I decided to put off frittata making until tomorrow, so I'll probably fry up some bacon tonight :D mmm... bacon. I DO love me some bacon. <3

Row, row, row your rower! Wait what?!

Just got back from rowing a 5k at the gym (which, I might add, I've only done twice in my life. I'm proud to say that I was 20 seconds faster this time! New time to beat: 39:39. Now to shower and relax until dinner... I think I earned it!

MMM… COOKIE!

It is now time for my after-class snack before I go to the gym in an hour or two. I know what you're thinking… how can you be eating cookies?! Trust me, I got this. These just happen to be Caveman cookies (Alpine and Tropical flavored to be exact). Of course, after years of eating super gooey, chewy, sugary cookies, these are something to get used to, but I really do like them! I'd love to try more flavors. NOM NOM NOM!
