Day 2


B: Two eggs, 3 strips uncured and nitrate free bacon, and blackberries.

[Katt]

S: Almonds and cherries


L: Chicken strips and peas


S: Apple


D: Lamb shoulder chops


WOD: 10 minute walk, ending with a 50' sprint and climbing one flight of stairs.


I decided I should also put my macros in here somewhere.


Fat: 85.8 g


Carbs: 70.3 g


Protein: 76.5 g

[Katt]

B: IF


S: Blackberries and almonds


L: Chicken Cordon Bleu and broccoli


S: Apple


D: Turkey breast and mixed steamed veggies.


WOD: 10 minute breaktime walk.


I am noticing that vegetables still have quite a load of carbs. Though the Chicken Cordon Bleu takes the cake since the only chicken available was breaded.

Hey Katt! Just wanted to stop by to say hello. Holy cow, that IS a lot of protein! You should be proud of yourself.... very primal!

[Katt]

Hi, Jenni. Thanks. Yeah... I didn't expect that. I forgot to post yesterday, so here is:


Day 3


B: 2 egg omelet with onions, peppers and tomatoes, and 3 strips of bacon.


S: Almonds


L: Mixed greens and veggie salad and a grilled chicken breast.


S: I had a chocolate craving at this point in my day, but instead of the chocolate, ended up with an almond granola bar. Yeah, granola = bad. I should have had my peach. Small fail.


D: 4 slices of thinly cut roast beef.


WOD:


Upper body strength training. Began with assisted pullups, moved into shoulder presses with a 30 lb barbell, then seated rows 70 lbs, and ended with pushups and sit ups. I can still only do two proper pushups before I have to drop to my knees.

Day 5:


B: IF. Stayed in bed late.


L: 2 eggs scrambled with uncured, nitrate free bacon, onions and peppers as well as some blackberries with a splash of cream on them. I did have a slice of sprouted grain bread with butter. I had thought with the sprouting that most of the gluten would be gone. It still affected me, so it's gone.


D: Grilled chicken and steak with some roasted veggies and a side salad. Split half a beer with the husband before heading out.


S: Chai Tea Latte. We went to the bookstore, and it's my one real treat when we go there. I love sipping the drink as I browse through a selection of books.


WOD:


Gardening. But not as much as I had planned, considering how late I was out of bed this morning. Still, I managed to transplant an ornamental grass.

B: Blackberries and walnuts.


L: This ended up being a repeat of yesterday's brunch minus the bacon. I did cook the eggs in bacon fat saved from a previous batch, however. Mmmm. Scrambled eggs with peppers and bacon and half a tomato.


S: Two radishes and a cup of milk.


D: Buffalo meatloaf. My husband cooked tonight and was on a roll. He made a yogurt sauce to go on the meat. It was soooo good. Food was cooked with coconut oil and we had broccoli with butter. The meatloaf had a bit of onion and bacon in it as well.


WOD:


Gardening again. Pulling weeds for about an hour.
