A Little Late

Better late than never? I could lie to you and say I was too busy to write my Friday post on Friday, but really I was just being moody. Grocery shopping sent me into a downward funk of self pity because I can't eat all the gluten filled goodies that are on every shelf. I probably should have gotten my act together and written my blog but here we are...Friday blog on a Saturday night. *Shrugs*

What I'm doing

Last week I continued with PUMP and TurboFire. This coming week I will be starting a strength program I put together, started it today actually. I will still be doing TurboFire for cardio purposes, plus I've added in a Yoga day. We'll see how this goes!

What I'm Eating

Re-started the Whole30 on Monday after a weekend of bad decisions. I've been going strong so far! Struggled with the carb flu for a few days, and even hit the angry phase pretty hard but (other than a completely justified protein shake) I haven't gone off 'diet' yet!

Breakfast

Scrambled eggs, onion, sausage, spinach

 Scrambled eggs, more sausage, spinach, avocado and bell peppers

Pancakes  but with mixed berries (cooked in a pan for a few minutes to get warm and gooey) and a splash of vanilla instead of cinnamon. Best thing ever!

Lunch 

Turkey lunch meat, baked sweet potato fries, banana peppers and mini bells

Grilled chicken and avocado salad

Leftover sausage and egg scramble with left over broccoli and a couple slices of lunchmeat

While I'm not enforcing a strict Paleo diet with my kiddos, they aren't getting grains anymore either. This is a typical lunch for them. Peanut butter and jelly apples and a handful of carrots. They usually get some form of meat as well. 

Dinner 

One night I didn't know what to make other than it would involve leftover ham. So I came up with egg muffins. Some of them even had hot sauce mixed in. Worked out pretty well!! I had a big salad and mini bell pepper salad on the side! 

Turkey burgers with sauteed onion & bells. Side of baked sweet potato fries.

Salmon, mashed cauliflower, asparagus and a few olives. Delicious!

Snacks

Probably my most favorite sweet treat, ever. Frozen raspberries, thawed until still really cold but no longer hard to bite into, dusted with some 100% pure baking cocoa. Unfortunately the cocoa glutenized me so it is off the menu indefinitely :(

My Progress

Or rather lack there-of.  I really should stop weighing myself, I know the number isn't going to change much, if at all, anymore. But I do every stinking week. Sigh!

Some NSV from this week though, I reached 700 'likes' on my Facebook Page. That's something right? I also have been making huge strides in the whole self confidence area. I even admitted to a group of friends about what I want to be when I grow up LOL!  I'll get there!
