Back to it!

I had a nice (and gluttonous) weekend off, but it is time to refocus.  I'm not even going to confess the amount of bloat that appeared on my scale this morning.  But no fretting about that.  I enjoyed the heck out of my Girl Scout cookies and pizza this weekend!

Completely off topic, but I was really sad about Phillip Seymour Hoffman.  He was one of my favorite actors and I just can't believe that he is gone.  Drugs suck.

Enough of that.  Reminding myself of my February plan:

• Adding back dairy, but limit to 1 serving per day other than small amount for coffee.
• Cook paleo but will allow 80/20% compliance for restaurant and what others cook for me.
• One cheat meal per week.  Saving this for the weekend.
• I'm adding another.  Limit artificially sweetened drinks to no more than 5 per week and limiting paleo compliant (but higher calorie) drinks to 3 servings per week.  This is going to be tough for me, but we will see how it goes.

I do seem to have stuck with not sweetening my coffee which is a big change for me.  I did use cream though, but I used the non flavored half and half.  Feeling really good about that.  I don't love it, but I am getting used to it.

Today's food plan:
Breakfast:  Coffee with cream.  Egg beaters with mixed veggies and bacon.
Lunch:  Pot roast and sweet potato stew.  I made this over the weekend and haven't tried it yet.  I don't have a back up, so I hope that it doesn't suck.  :-)  I will let you know tomorrow!
Snack:  Grapes
Dinner:  Leftover chicken meatballs and veggies (maybe a sweet potato, if I'm really hungry.)

I didn't get up for CrossFit this morning for several reasons, so I have to work out hard at lunch.  My plan is to do uphill walking, tabata sprints and calisthenics.  I know I will feel better once it is done.

I'm really looking forward to the Olympics starting this week.  I know myself well, so it is possible that I won't get a lot of CrossFit in over the next couple of weeks because I will be staying up late watching coverage.  I will have to MAKE myself work out at lunch or Jazzercise regularly.  Hold me accountable, people!

Hugs!
