Day 29 - Almost a Month

Hot, hot day today.

"Sweet" eggs and bacon with a coffee and an apple for breakfast.

Leftover pork chop with carrots and cherries for lunch.
Another half pork chop for an afternoon snack, with some strawberries.

8 chicken wings for an early dinner, with a paleo macaroon. And then another half pork chop for dinner with some roasted BBQ veggies and fresh green beans.

Off to Newfoundland tomorrow, so I'll do my best to post as frequently as possible.

Days 27 and 28 - Busy Busy Busy

Apologies or the lack of a post yesterday. I've been crazy busy getting ready to head to Newfoundland on Thursday. That, and the heat may have friend my brain!

Completely clean eating over yesterday and today.
Eggs and bacon with coffee for breakfast. Lunch was tuna today and I can't remember for yesterday (see above-mentioned heat-fried brain). Veggies and fruit on the aide with seeds to get my fats in.

Dinner was pulled pork yesterday. Today was nothing. Booo. Too busy running around.
I bbq'd up some pork chops and asparagus for tomorrow though, so I will promise to gorge myself on that!

Almost a month in and I'm feeling amazing. No desire to eat outside of Paleo foods. I'm back in the groove it seems!

Days 25 and 26 - Weekend of deliciousness!

Great delicious food all weekend.

Tried a blueberry and egg omelette for breakfast on saturday with bacon. Amazing!

No real lunch, but steak, mushrooms and grilled veggies for dinner. More amazing!

Sunday saw a breakfast omelette at Cora's. Coffee on the side. More brunch really.

Dinner was a half rack of ribs and a 1/4 chicken from Swiss chalet with a spinach salad.

Man I love the food I eat!

Day 24 - Here comes the weekend!

Great day today. Other than a REALLY crappy lunch, my food was great. It was only crappy because I didn't have any meat other than a handful of jerky.
No meat makes Rich angry. Rich like meat.

Bacon and sweet potato mash for brekkie. Coffee as usual.

Lots of veggies and a bit of fruit with the aforementioned jerky for lunch.

Baked, non breaded, plain chicken wings after work, with a Larabar.

2 sausages and some bacon and broccoli salad for dinner.

I love Paleo!

Day 23 - Staying Strong

Bacon and leftover sweet potatoes for breakfast, along with a black coffee.

For lunch, had two leftover steak skewers with extra steak. Carrots and raspberries to top it all off.

A bit of trail mix and a larabar again before soccer.

And finally a lamb chop, a garden salad with balsamic and evoo dressing with a banana on the side.

I also keep forgetting to mention that I'm drinking in the range of 6-7 liters of water each day as well. Mmm hydration.

That's all for now. The paleo wagon continues tomorrow!

Day 22 - More BBQ Adventures

Delicious bacon and eggs this morning (nitrate free and all natural ingredient bacon from Schneider's. Looks like they just released it). Coffee and a banana on the side, not necessarily in that order.

Leftover steak for lunch along with some carrots, cucumber, blueberries and seeds.

An apple and beef jerky for an afternoon snack and a larabar and some trail mix (dried fruit and nuts) before soccer.

Steak skewers for dinner with leftover sweet potato and bacon mash from yesterday.

Feeling great today. All around positive mood and my energy levels are slowly climbing.

Onward and upward! Mmm bacon.

Day 21 - Mmm BBQ

Woke up super tired today. Had to have a quick Pre-work nap to tide myself over.

1/4 chicken dark, an apple and a macaroon for breakfast with the usual black coffee.

Chicken breast with skin, carrots, an apple, a pear and some seeds for lunch.

Not sure hungry today in the afternoon, for a change.

T-bone steak and bacon-infused mashed sweet potatoes for dinner. Sooooo good!

Still tired all day but I think it's mostly because I've been getting to sleep later than normal. We'll see if that improves. I'm sure it will.

Day 20 - Ennneerrrgggyyy!

Woke up feeling great this morning. Earlier than usual and I was full of energy.
Eggs with salsa, a plum, an apple and a macaroon for breakfast/snack around 10am. The usual black coffee with brekkie as well.

Salmon fillet for lunch with carrots and some papaya. Pepitas and sunflower seeds on the side. Damn nut-free camp forcing me to eat seeds.

I was starving this afternoon so I grabbed some pulled pork before soccer. Twas delicious. Especially with a Larabar on the side!

1/4 chicken (dark) for dinner, with an apple.

Oh and lots of water on this hot, hot day!

1/5 into my 100 days. I'm feeling fantastic. I can't wait to keep it going!

Days 17, 18, 19 - Wedding Weekend

Busy, busy weened over these last few days. My brother got married yesterday, so I apologize for not having the time to be posting regularly.

Food has been great over the last few days. Lots of meat and veggies with a bunch of fruit on the side. I get lots of compliments on how fresh my food always is. I like hearing that. I like eating it even more!

And now the confession:
I broke the diet yesterday during the wedding meal. The meal was excellent and wonderful, and paleo as far as I know (ie. No gluten, dairy, sugar). Had a small piece of cake for dessert (and felt like shit this morning...gluten and I don't get along well). Otherwise, just some alcohol...okay, a whole bunch of it.

I knew the wedding day would bring some hiccups. I'll take it as a speedbump and move right along.

Back to the daily posts tomorrow.

Days 15 & 16 - Catching Up

Slacked off from posting yesterday. Really busy with getting ready for my brother's wedding tomorrow. The good news, though, is that I've stayed completely strict since unlucky day 13.

Lots of meat and veggies. Supplementing with a lot of fruit right now as I chug through the first week of camp. I'm constantly hungry when I'm out there.

Breakfast over the past couple days has been eggs and smoothies with bacon on the side. Black coffee as well, as per usual.

Lunch has been meat (homemade paleo "sweet and sour" meatballs today, courtesy of my lovely wife!). Carrots and cucumbers as a side with grapes, a nectarine, a pear and some plantain chips.
Left my seeds at home today so I'm light on the fats today. Gotta munch on some nuts when I get home!

Day 14 - Back on the Wagon

New start today.
Starting off on the right foot again. 5 strips of bacon and a smoothie this morning (banana, 5 strawberries, 1 1/2 cups almond milk, coconut oil and protein powder). And the usual black coffee.

Fish for lunch with lots of fruit and veggies. Sunflower seeds and pepitas on the side.

Buffalo steak with grilled peppers and asparagus on the side.

Still feel like complete shit from yesterday, but it will pass. Fully strict now. No more of the shut like yesterday.

Day 13 - Effed up.

I feel awful.
I was doing so well.
I ate great today but got into the uber-hungry state that makes me crave things.
Stopped and grabbed some chicken wings and a very small tub of ju jubes. Fuck. they don't even taste good. I just grabbed them because it was something quick and easy while I was on the go.
I have the willpower of Charlie Sheen standing in front of a mountain of coke.
No more fuck ups.
I can't believe I did this. I need a punishment for eating like this. Donation to charity perhaps?

Days 10, 11, 12 - Georgian Bay Paleo

Kept it strong over the weekend.
Lots of fruit and veggies. Delicious eggs and bacon for breakfast each day.
Turned down ice cream and munched on jerky instead!

Indulged in a few Nor Cal Margaritas though... Made them with gin. No tequila to e found.

And found a great organic meats place on the way home!
What a great weekend!

Day 9/100 - Going Strong

Woke up late this morning, so had a quick breakfast of a whole bunch of leftover pulled pork and an orange. Black coffee on the side again.

Had a macaroon for a snack (Jennie's Macaroons from macaroonking.com - highly recommended!). Hungry right now but I'm sitting in the library and they frown on munching away in there...especially during staff meetings!

Shrimp, smoked salmon, oysters and Caesar salad for lunch.

Quick dinner of pulled pork and now it's off to the boat for the weekend!
