Word of the day - consistency. Something I have been lacking!! My goal this week is to really nail down an eating schedule. As usual, my food choices are good it's more a matter of not eating consistently sized meals throughout the day. I've stocked up on some staple items that I think will help me do this.

So this weekend was good. I chose to have my open meal on Saturday night and hubby and I went to Glory Days. I had a few wings and ordered the chicken tender platter with cheese fries. I think I was more interested in the sauces than anything else. I am a sauce person, big time, and I really miss that. Well, I have about 5 wings and when my dinner came I ate 1 chicken tender and a little bit of the cheese fries and was FULL. Unbelievable full. I was happy that I didn't overdo it and maybe that just proves my body is not meant to have that kind of food.

Having my open meal on Saturday meant Valentine's Day needed to be Paleo. That actually turned out perfect. My husband grilled steak and cedar-plank salmon. I made mushrooms, onion and peppers to go with it. Add a sweet potato and you have a great meal. OK, the wine was a bit of a cheat, but hey it was Valentine's - HAHA.

Today I discovered that you can make Paleo friendly gravy. So dinner was roasted turkey breast with gravy and half an acorn squash. Very satisfying.

Oh, I also discovered sunbutter (sunflower seed spread) this weekend. Take some chunks of banana, throw some sunbutter on them, roll in coconut and freeze. Nice dessert.

Ok, time for bed. Gotta get up early and go swim. CONSISTENCY!! CONSISTENCY!! CONSISTENCY!!
