Taking a break from chef by request for a bit, enjoyed the food but missed cooking!!
On day 12 of pretty strict paleo. No gluten at all, "cheats" have been in the form of some plain baked potato on a couple of occasions, and some coconut milk ice cream last week. No more coconut ice cream, since the agave/sugar in it is high and I have realized from paying attention to my eating habits over the past year that sugar really is the enemy for me.
Allowing myself some red wine, and not being obsessive about weighing and measuring things, just picking the right foods. Also limiting the eating out which I think helps since even though I eat clean out you still never know what you are getting...
Meal 1-845
salmon with mushrooms and greens
coconut water
Meal 2-130
salad with pork
Snack-330
1 fig, 3 walnuts, lemon "pudding" or something like that
Meal 3-830
salad with steak and guac
coconut water
fruit
1/2 cup pumpkin ice cream (was sooo hungry! bad excuse I know..but I haven't been eating that much of it)
Still enjoying the Chef by request meals. Some days I add a little extra, fruit and a few nuts, but overall seems to be working well for me. Losing about 1-2 lbs a week which is right on track for me. Energy is up as well, feeling good overall.
Snack- 230
walnuts with 3 dried apricots and some raisins and cranberries
Meal 3-7
chicken with broccoli and cauliflower
Snack-8
pumpkin ice cream.. i know, totally NOT paleo but i was really craving it, and it is only out this time of year
10/14-10/17
Chef by request meals for the most part. Went to Healdsburg on sat night so there was a bit of cheating that occurred. Overall much better then my normal weekend cheating...
Decided up my meal delivery to 7 days a week for a while. I am pretty good at undoing a week's worth of healthy eating on the weekend. I figured I will probably have one "cheat meal" on the weekends, and keep the drinking also to one day. Hoping by having meals already prepared it will help encourage me to make better choices
Enjoying the food all around. Tastes good and there is a lot of variety which is nice, although because I requested to skip egg based meals I will be getting 2 dinner/lunch meals a day which will be the same but I don't mind.
Meal 1- 8 (since I don't really like eggs I requested lunch or dinner foods for breakfast)
blt salad with turkey bacon and avocado
Meal 2-1
Thai curry Shrimp
Meal 3- 830
halibut with mango and pepper salsa
2 teeny tiny turkey meatballs (snack I didn't have earlier to eat)
Snack- 915
figs with pinenuts
Really enjoying the Chef by request foods so far. Everything tastes really good, and it is awfully nice to be able to heat up a good meal at the end of a long day. Eliminates the extra snacking that I sometimes do while cooking. Portion control is also something that I struggle with at times so this is really helping.
Been a long time since I have been on the log! Today is day one of Chef by request paleo meals...I am starting with 5 days a week, 3 meals, 2 snacks a day. Hope it works, food looks good, the convenience factor is nice...
