This week has been really wonderful, and its one I look forward to every year. Chad and I get to celebrate Valentine's day, the anniversary of our first date, and Chad's birthday. Of course this also means that we over indulge in food and drinks, so sticking to paleo has been tough. You may have seen my "paleo" V-day dinner, which was awesome, but that chocolate pot de creme made me soo sick! It was just way too rich and I was up most of the night with a tummy ache, which lasted through Friday afternoon.
Friday night Chad made us reservations at an awesome restaurant, Kayne Prime. I was supposed to meet him at his office at 7, to make a 7:30 reservation, but of course I was running late. I was stuck in my closet in tears for 30 minutes because I could not figure out what to wear. I wanted to throw on some jeans, but none of them fit! Now for most women, this is an absolute tradgedy because it usually means you are gaining weight. I know the reason my jeans are snug is because all the CrossFit is adding muscle to my legs, but honestly after dealing with body image issues for most of my life, its so scary when clothes stop fitting. I finally found a pair I could squeeze into, but I was super uncomfortable. I sucked it up and ran out the door.
Dinner was amazing! We each had a 6oz Waygu beef filet and Chad ordered Mac 'n' cheese and cesar salad, and I ordered brussel sprouts. We also shared an awesome bottle of wine. My dinner wouldn't have been too un-paleo (except for the wine) but then I tried Chad's Mac, and I couldn't resist. I don't even like Mac 'n' cheese, yes its really true, but this stuff was unbelievable! It was a great meal, and a great way to celebrate with my love.
Saturday we headed to CrossFit, which made 6 days in row for me once again :) Here's the WOD:
WARM UP - 6 TO 8 MINUTE
SKILL - DOUBLE UNDERS 5 MINUTES
WOD - 5 ROUNDS FOR TIME
10 PISTOLS EACH LEG
10 WALKING KB PRESSES
10 POWER PUSH UPS
10 RUSSIAN TWISTS WEIGHTED
10 JUMP SQUATS
STRETCH/COOL DOWN
Afterwards we headed to lunch at Burger Up with Chad's family. I ordered my burger paleo style, no bun or cheese, topped with avocado and egg, and lots of sweet potato fries. We then headed back to our house for cookie cake and presents. I was able to resist the cookie, and occupied myself by getting started on the cooking for last night's party. I made a bunch of food, and none of it was very paleo. Here's the menu:
Proscuitto wrapped asparagus
Blue cheese turkey buffalo meatballs
Goat cheese stuffed bacon wrapped dates
Quesadillas:
carmelized onion, apple, brie
avocado, chicken, goat cheese
pesto, chicken, mozzarella
Blackberry vodka lemonade
Everything turned out great and we had NOTHING leftover. Always a good compliment :) I ate and drank way too much and had a great time. I capped off the evening with an ice cream Sunday before heading to bed... I don't even remember the last time I had ice cream!
This morning I woke up and didn't feel great, but I was not nearly as hungover as I thought I'd be. I had my usual breakfast and coffee, and lots of water. At my women's circle I had some delicious paleo sweet potato muffins, a paleo brownie, and one chocolate covered strawberry. I also had a ginger kombucha that I bought yesterday in anticipation of today's pain. After this week I am so ready to get back on paleo. Garbage in= garbage out, and I'm really feeling the ill effects of my dietary choices. Its really not worth the pain!
