First thing Monday morning we got slammed at work with a network revamp. BUSY BUSY. So busy I didn't have time for one single workout! GRRR.... I am happy to say I stuck with my Paleo foods though. The thing I struggle with the most is breakfast - what can I eat?? I know you are supposed to limit your eggs to six a week due to cholesterol, and since I can't eat cereal, oatmeal or milk I really have a hard time. So driving home from work the other day I thought - - why not make Paleo cereal? Well, I did just that - almonds, pecans, walnuts, raisins, dried apples (made in my dehydrator), blueberries and banana with coconut milk. OMG, it was so good and very filling. This is not something I would eat every day, or every other day for that matter, as the coconut milk has a lot of fat, but once every couple of weeks will satisfy my need for a "bowl of cereal" in the morning. It was such a busy week I can hardly remember what all I ate, but I know I did well on sticking with Paleo foods. Oh, one night I took chicken breasts and coated them in almond flour and baked them. They were a little dry but still very tasty. I also made cauliflower mash and homemade jerky. The jerky came out too dry, but not bad for my first attempt. A co-worker said it tasted just like meatloaf!! OH, and for anyone missing cream in their coffee - add a dollop of coconut milk.
Tonight we are in South Carolina for the weekend, attending a dog training seminar. It's going to be long days and I will have to make a concerted effort to have appropriate foods and snacks with me. Hopefully I can get in some workouts as well.
Elton suggested I post my goals on here and I think that is a great idea. My body fat was 22% and I would love to see it below 18% by the end of the challenge, although I am not sure how realistic that is. My weight was 147lbs and losing 10 - 15 pounds would be ideal. For workouts my Cindy came in at 17 rounds - hmmmmm, is 20 rounds too hopeful?? For CF Total I came in at 215lb deadlift, 145lb back squat and 70lb press (PR) - - total of 430lbs. Not sure how much I would like to improve, but at least some in each area!!
I'll try to blog over the weekend but it's gonna be difficult with long days of dog training.
Oh how i miss my simple bowl of cereal! I should try that minus the raisins :-) You have bery good idea's. I wish I could make my own jerky, maybe I'll talk Dan into buying one :-), a dihydrator (SP?) that is. When I get my numbers from Dan I will post them and my goals :-)
