Tried to get up this am to workout or jog (meaning my alarm went off and I turned it off and threw it on the other side of the bed). Breakfast was 3 strips of bacon with a large iced coffee and heavy cream. Lunch I picked up 1 pound of BBQ brisket, sauce on the side. ate about 1/3 for lunch and most of the rest for dinner. When I got back from the office. I went for a 1.3 mile jog outside and then came back in and did 5 rounds (10 regular pushups - no knees, 20 situps). The pushups were the toughest part, but I'm happy I practiced them.

Weekend Recap - Day 22/23
Weekend was no bueno. It included drinking, Antico Pizza, Beer while kayaking the Broad River, Dairy Queen (with a beer in hand), La Fonda. Not the best choices. Got back on good eating Sunday night with some BBQ meats and veggies from Whole Foods. Monday I had to pack and do laundry etc before leaving town again early Tuesday am, so I didn't make it to the gym. Tried to run outside around 8ish, but my shins were KILLING me. Good night they hurt. It's frustrating because I feel like I'm getting better at running, not as tired, but my legs are hurting more with these new shoes. Dinner Monday was another Whole Foods trip with BBQ.
This am - ugh - got up at 4:50. Who doesn't love a glorious morning flight for work....Did the P90x ab workout in my apt before getting ready for the cab pickup. Brought hardboiled eggs with me through security (score). Had some coffee on the plane and got a Starbucks tall iced coffee with milk (sweetened). That got me through most of the morning. Ate 1 hardboiled egg. Lunch was sushi. I had 2 rolls (spicy California and spicy tuna), no rice - 6 pieces each, which become really small with no rice. No snacks. Went and ran about 1.7 miles outside when I got to the hotel. Again, felt decent running, my shins were just killing me. I stretched and massaged them (which hurts!!) back in my room. Then I did sets of "REAL"! pushups! I felt good doing those. Dinner I went to McCormick and Schmicks and got gluten free mussels to go. They came with bread...which i would have liked to devour, but the lady noticed (b/c she remember me saying no bread) and had them make me a new one - plus I got a $10 gift card for their mess up. SCORE.
Even if I do eat poorly - which this weekend I did - I still don't have an excuse to get back on the wagon. That's the good feeling.

Lunch: Ate at TAP and ordered the salmon salad with the dressing on the side, ate all the salmon and parts of the rest of the salad. I also grabbed some gum to chew on my way back to the office.

Day 16
Holy hell scale. Got up early to get to the gym and weight myself before leaving. Dang. Back at 138.8. That's evident of a bad weekend. But again, just got concentrate on the here and now.
Gym WOD:
STRENGTH
I did 65 # on the strength weight and then turkish getups were 15# and the blue band for strict pullups. This was my first time doing the getups and man do those things take awhile. Yuck. Got 3 full rounds in.
Ate a few macadamia nuts when i got home and had 1/2 an egg. Decent start to the morning.
At work: Had a handful of nuts and coffee with heavy cream.
Lunch: Ate some leftover skirt steak, leftover mushrooms and a deviled egg (1/2 of a whole egg). Didn't eat as much steak as I planned on, it was pretty tough. Maybe it was just a fattier piece then last night, or I could have smashed it putting it in the microwave. Oops.
Went for a jog when I got home. Total would have been 2.14 miles, but I walked maybe .25 of it because my shins were KILLING me uphill. I guess I just need to get used to the new shoes.
Dinner: Went and got some butter (this kind) for cooking. Sauteed some mushroom in that and olive oil, reheated my broccoli with some butter and spices and then had some leftover steak. Delicious meal.
Gym WOD:

Snatch Pull 3×2 @ 90% of 1RM Snatch

Weekend Recap
Friday night: Rehearsal dinner: Didn't stay paleo, although I did do better with drink choices (ingredients...not quantity). Oooops. We had a 5 course sit down dinner, and it was all delicious and was catered from Sugo, Iberian Pig and Double Zero! YUM.
Saturday: Ate eggs and had 1/2 a burger in the afternoon. No workout. Friday night at the wedding - again, didn't stay paleo. Stayed away from tonic and drank wine, champagne, and vodka/soda. Late night wedding we ate and drank some more. No buno.
Sunday: No real breakfast. Stopped at the bride and groom house and had some chips/dip. Had a few bites of cheesesteak. Played kickball and then went to Park Tavern. Drank sangria and a few other things. Ordered a sushi roll without rice (they've made it there before), but the waiter messed it up, and then he told me the sushi chef can't do it. Bah hum bug, ate the sushi with the rice on. Dinner - Went here. Our friend just opened it up in Roswell and it was friends/family night. Ordered she crab soup, scallops, mac and cheese, and pudding. Drank lot of yummy wine and had a good time with another couple!
Weekend recap: Feeling really full from all the food/drinking we did this weekend. Weight is UP tonight like whoa! Not happy with it especially because I did well eating today:
Monday: 1/2 chicken wrap (unwrapped) which had chicken, bacon, avocado, spinach and a sauce on the side. Dinner I went to Whole Foods and bought grass fed skirt steak, eggs, mushrooms, broccoli, chimmichurri sauce. I made the steak and put the sauce on it. Delicious! Now I've got leftovers! :) Ate some mushrooms and made broccoli for tomorrow. Also made 6 deviled eggs to have on hand as snacks. I'm happy I'm back on track with eating and cooking, but it doesn't undo the damage done this weekend. I was down to 132 pounds! My lightest in awhile! I was proud, but i let that slip this weekend. A very nice Cancun trip is in 2 weeks. I'd like to feel confident in my bathing suit. But, more then that, I'd rather stop being such a disappointment to myself and those that are supportive of me.

DAy 12
Up early again, running on about 5 hours asleep. Alarm went off and I didn't want to get up, but I know I have a rehearsal dinner tonight, so this is my only time to get some activity in. Went for a jog around ATL, about 2.4 miles. Wasn't really feeling this one today.
Went to the grocery store and bought some pasteurized, heavy whipping cream to put in my coffee before work. I made some deviled eggs last night and I've eaten one so far. Pretty hungry, so I'll probably dig into those soon.
Breakfast: Did 1/2 a deviled egg and had lots of coffee with heavy cream.
Lunch: Went to Murphy's. Got the mussels. Then went to Alon's to get some cookies for my team...it was hard, but I resisted eating any of them!
Morning Weight: 132
