Life after Paleo

Ok, ok I know its only been a couple days but I'm already missing the challenge. I definitely think I'm going to stick to mostly Paleo from here on out. Beginning on Friday I allowed myself to indulge in some old favorites, and while I wouldn't say that I'm feeling bad, I'm definitely not feeling great. On Friday I ate paleo all day, usual breakfast and leftover meat and veggies for lunch. That night aftter CrossFit, Chad and I went to my favorite restaurant/coffee shop, Fido. We ended up splitting a burger, with bun, and sweet potato fries. I also ordered a salad to up my veggie intake. One of the reasons we love this place so much is their awesome selection of house-made cakes. They actually made all our wedding cakes for us. So of course we had to indulge.

I'm so glad we split our meal because that cake alone could fill you up.

Yesterday, I headed to CrossFit, making it 6 days in a row! Yep, I told you I'm addicted. I ate well all day and then headed to the grand opening party for my new doula business. I was so busy that I didn't eat much until after the party when we had a champagne toast (first alcohol in 32 days) and some yummy paleo cookies. After that I headed to dinner with my MIL and Chad. We decided on Burger Up and I had an AWESOME bison burger with bacon, guacamole, cheese, and jalepenos. I also had two glasses of wine and sweet potato fries.

So this was bad enough but I then decided I needed to have something sweet, so I made a mug cake at home with carob chips. Now I remember why I need to limit my alcohol intake, I always end up eating too much.

Over all it certainly could have been worse, and today is a new day.  I worked my butt off this week, so I can't beat myself up for overindulging. I'm looking forward to a new week clean eating, and feeling great.
