Home - yeah. Set out 4 sausages from the last grass fed meat delivery for tomorrow. It will feed son and me. I'm hoping to get a pork butt tomorrow so I can make Nom Nom Kalua Pork. I got my Hawaiian red salt while I was gone.

Weight down 0.2 lbs today - not much but it's the first time I've not gone up when I travel! Starting the 21 day challenge today. DH brought me coffee in bed (but with sugar and low fat milk). I waited about 45 minutes and pored it out and went to make "a second" cup with coconut cream. I didn't want to hurt his feelings.... I like what Mark says about novice excercisers - even 5 minutes is a workout! When everyone is gone I'm going to do some sprints in the backyard and let the girls chase me, so play too! Have to organize the freezer before more meat comes and write a paper today, but have time to be lazy for another hour or so (it took 9 hours of travel to get home yesterday). Slept great last night though. Oh, new resteraunt in SLC airport - Cat Cora's Kitchen. A bit pricy, but the chicken chimmachuri sandwich with tomatoe pesto without the bun and okay I had the homemade chips, but they have sautéed spinach was fantastic. I'm looking forward to my trip in February.

I have to start noting what good Paleo-friendly restaurants there are at the various airports and cities, where I travel often. I'm always on an expense account, and the owners hate business travel and are very understanding and appreciate that I do it. So they do not really care if I go to nicer restaurants. I tend to seek out good steak houses, because the meals are often a la cart, and they typically have Ten ounce filets. That and a big salad and it's as Primal as is likely to find. Even if I am with others it doesn't raise eyebrows or invite questions.

Good luck with the sprinting!

We need to compare restaurant notes! Maybe start a thread??? Thanks, will let you know how it goes....

Devoured some of the egg casserole I made and froze awhile ago. Another cup of coffee with coconut cream.

I've tried cappuccinos with coconut milk. Not so crazy about it. My normal coffee I drink black, but specialty coffees I now take with half and half.

Congrats on a weight loss while travelling! That's pretty impressive.

Hubby's not against trying a slow cooker, but we're only going to be gone four days, and our restaurant expenses will be covered, so it's not that urgent. Still, we're driving, so I can throw the slow cooker in the trunk and decide when I'm there. It will depend on the choice of nearby restaurants, I imagine.

Sounds like a good fall back plan. If you don't know what's available locally.

Rained, so yard is smooshy. Ran inside and dogs got very excited chasing me. Probably just at 5 minutes. Lifted heavy meat cooler.

Other than finishing the fish sticks that were calling my name, I did fine yesterday. Now that the fish are gone, today should be easier. I put two free range thigh-drumsticks into the mini crock with sun dried tomato, roasted red pepper, basil, salt, pepper, and a bit of veggie stock. I plan on making garlic mashed cauliflower to go with. I've got to get my butt moving - slept great again (could it be the lavender oil from Provo?), but that means I also slept in. I need to do errands this morning (bank, groceries) because I've got student phone calls and a board conference call for one of my professional organizations this afternoon. Today is a mix of FT job and home chores (also need to do the bill thing and plan what I'm going to pack for lunch tomorrow). So off to get ready to go out.
