If you read my weekend update, you know how I was feeling this am...so, onto the food log:
Breakfast:
-coffee and cream
-1 hardboiled egg
-a few pieces of jerky
Lunch:
-1/2 of what I had leftover of my salmon and spinach
-lots of water
Snack
-1/2 grapefruit
WOD:
12 mins (AMRAP 6 strict pullups, 6 kipping pulls ups, 200M run). I got 5 rounds in, on the blue band to work on strict pullups. Although I don't think they were very strict, I did try not to kip. I was happy with my 5 rounds though..wish I did my kipping pullups off the band!
Dinner:
-Ormsby's to watch Chris' bocce game. Had 1.5 beers (tripel karmeliet's) and I ordered a turkey burger, no cheese, with onions and mushrooms, side was sweet potatoe fries. I ate a bit less then 1/2 of the burger + all but 1 fry. I honestly wanted to order the onion rings...but remembering that I'd have to write about them kept me from it. Beer wasn't necessary, it was just part of the atmosphere....could work on that...otherwise, felt good about my proportions I ate on my meal!

Weekend Update
Well, I set myself up for what I thought would be a good weekend....unfortunately it didn't end up that way...
Friday pm:
-Happy hour at our office. I resisted all beer and food. Instead, just had a water in hand.
Dinner @ The Bridge (Mexican)
-cup of broccoli soup, had about 2/3 of it.
-mucho margaritas
-no cheese dip!! really no chips (I had 1/2 one with some guacamole)
-ordered the fajitas for 2 (to split with Chris) and I ONLY ate the meat, onions, and peppers! No rice, cheese, or tortillas.
Post Dinner:
-split a bottle of wine with girls...which led to us ordered 2 desserts... not good.
Saturday:
...courtesy of the mucho margaritas and not enough water, I spent most of the day in bed. Holy headache.
Lunch:
-had 1/2 a Jimmy Johns Club lulu sandwich. Not the best - should have definitely made it an unwich...next time!
Dinner:
-went to PF Changs with my parents for my mom's birthday. We all split the Wonton soup as an appetizer. I ordered the gluten free salmon for my dinner and a side of spinach and had no rice
-but....dessert came, so I had to eat it since it was my mom's birthday (the great wall of chocolate) and it was mighty tasty.
-had no drinks at dinner since I was driving, but then ended up meeting friends out later, where I had only 2 martinis...no late night food though!
Sunday (YIKES)
-woke up and made eggs...which ended up being bad...so they went in the trash.
-had the rest of my sandwich from Jimmy Johns
-no other real snacks that day
-Opera Event in Roswell = 1 hour of passed hors d'oevres (ate some chicken pot pie and coconut chicken skewers - so not too bad) + bar (vokda tonic + wine). Dinner was seated with a salad, bread, mahi/steak/asparagus/potatoes for dinner, and a variety of mini desserts. Ate my bread, not my salad, part of my dinner (good job on proportions), ate all my dessert! YUM. However, I don't think the small dinner proportion made up for the mini desserts, but I wasn't feeling bad at this point. It wasn't until after the event that we went back to a friends house for more drinks (I stopped drinking to drive later) ... and pizza was ordered. I SMASHED pizza. uh oh. Not only that, but on the way home, we stopped at Steak N Shake to get Chris a burger...and i ordered a small shake. I didn't have it all on my own, but still. The fatty in my came out after a great week and not TOO bad weekend.
Not only was I disappointed in what I ate, I felt AWFUL! My stomach hurt from all the crap I put in it. It hasn't been that full in awhile. What a failure.
I'm really going to get back on it this week. I didn't think my whole weekend was a failure, just Sunday night, and it wasn't a way you ever want to end a weekend, feeling crappy.
I have to credit Chris for helping me with proportions! I have so much leftover salmon and spinach from dinner on Saturday AND he made me cut my JJ in 1/2 so I only ate 1/2. Otherwise, I'd probably eat it all. Kudos to him. He's also helping me get back int he gym and eat really well on the weekdays!

-handful of almonds
Lunch:
-1 hardboiled egg

Day 4
So last night I remember to do my 3 burpees before going to bed....thinking of the 70's, 80's etc...those are going to SUCK!
Anyways, Day 4 food log:
Breakfast:
-coffee with creamer
-handful of almonds
Snack:
-piece of turkey jerky
-1/2 a grapefruit
Lunch:
-2 hardboiled eggs
-grilled chicken in a new marinade - sweet and spicy chili oil
-2 pieces of turkey bacon
-remaining sauteed veggies
NOT SNACK:
-This is my NOT SNACK, things I did NOT eat today...but really wanted to. So a new group of people started in our office this week which means catered Einstein's out the wazooo. So every morning I've had to sadly look at my favorite Asiago bagel and just keep walking. Today a huge bowl of candy was placed out on our side of the office. Trust me, every piece looked amazing! So i decided to make sure I go get water, tea, etc on the other side to bypass the candy....but an even BIGGER bowl was over there. Fail. But not really, I didn't take a piece, just fail on my logical thinking.
Afternoon snack:
-1/2 grapefruit
WOD: 4 rounds 4 time:(10 barbell floor press @ 65# and 20 barbell windshield wipers @ 65#). I did 45# in about 5 minutes. I was really hoping i could do 65, but i couldn't even lift it once. fail. So i did 45# which was really tough. My arms were shaking on the holds and I couldn't follow through the entire WOD without dropping weight. I did make it my first round though not dropping the bar. Ugh, I was thinking I was stronger than that. But instead of focusing on shortcomings, I should focus on things I'm doing better on. My kips are better and I am in the 100 day burpee challenge!
Dinner:
-turkey burger with the same toppings as the past days, 2 fried eggs and gorgonzola cheese. YUM
On another note.....I signed up for WARRIOR DASH! Something to look forward to and train for the course. Very excited with a hint of nervousness ;)
3 WOD's this week and I'm sore. Definitely looking forward to Mexican night tomorrow with our group of 12 @ The Bridge - especially the Doug margarita! I already told Chris to not let me eat chips (and to yell at my across the table if I do) ;) Should be a good night and weekend!

Day 3
Breakfast:
-coffee with creamer (still need to find some SO DELICIOUS French Vanilla flavored creamer, I think only Whole Foods carries it) I just can't get ahold of this black coffee thing
-a handful of almonds and a few pieces of jerky
Snack:
-1/2 of a grapefruit. I chose grapefruit b/c of this chart: Tables of Fruits and Sugars. I really enjoy eating apples, and will continue to more sparingly, but it has a lot more sugars then grapefruit, where I can still get a bit of my sugar intake
Lunch:
-finished the rest of that chicken that i brought in on Monday: Non-Fresh Chicken and had it with some veggies and 1 hard boiled egg. I have FM chicken marinating at home which I'll cook tonight for lunch the rest of the week.
Snack:
-the rest of my grapefruit
WOD: Death by power cleans on the minute @ 55-65% of 1Rm. I was able to successfully complete 8 full rounds at 65#. I finished the 9th round as the 10th was starting. Booo. Good push, but a few minutes after I was done, I felt like I could have done another round. However, I felt like I was comprising my form for speed.

Regardless, I'm happy I'm back at CFPT. No more travel for another 2 weeks or so! So get used to seeing me ;)
Dinner:
-Turkey burger (not in a burger form, but still spread out around a small plate) + some gorgonzola + 2 fried eggs. Lots of water to stay hydrated!

Day 2..again
Last night at Fresh Market I got some more So Delicious creamer (soy/dairy free). Tried it in my coffee this am, was NOT a fan of the hazelnut flavor...so i barely drank a cup.
Breakfast:
-handful of almonds
-a few pieces of turkey/beef jerky
Lunch:
-2 hardboiled eggs
-grilled chicken
-sauteed squash/zucchini
...(pretty much the same lunch as yesterday)
Dinner:
-pieces of the turkey burger I made w/ Gorgonzola cheese crumbles and 2 fried eggs
Did not get into the gym. I went to my apt gym and attempted some sprints. I also worked on situps and pushups. And of course, I did my 2 burpees!

Bringing it Back
The blog is back: Alright, I decided (and realized) that constant blog posting is the best way for me to be accountable for what I eat....so it's back for the next 37 days. Again, my goal is to keep it as a simple food diary (which never works because I always end up babbling on about how I feel etc), but I need to give paleo/primal another honest shot.
Breakfast:
-coffee with cream - i need to get to the store and buy some soy/dairy free So Delicious creamer if I'm going to continue having coffee
-1 harboiled egg
Lunch:
-1 hardboiled eggs
-sauteed squash/zucchini with a mix of spices
-grilled chicken (pre-packaged....it's all that was in the fridge this am)
I've also had a handful of almonds throughout the day
Snack (split in half) was an apple with almond butter
WOD: 3 round for time (10 DL @185/50 double unders). Did 140# and single skips at 10:42.
Dinner: turkey burger made with egg, ground turkey meat, zucchini, carrots, thyme, garlic. Sprinkled some gorgonzola cheese on it.
Made a lot for my lunches/dinners. Also bought jerky, eggs, turkey bacon, almonds and 2 grapefrutis @ Fresh Market.
Good purchase, good dinner, and a nice start to bringing back the blog!
