For those of you who don't know, my husband and I have been doing Crossfit. It's amazing, I love it. I especially love the feel of completing an intense WOD (Workout Of the Day). It's a sense of accomplishment, knowing that my body is changing and things I couldn't do two weeks ago, I'm now doing with ease. On top of doing CF, I had a shower epiphany and decided that we should start eating Paleo at the beginning of August. If you don't know what it means, you should Google it. I love Google.
Back on track.
We're off to a rocky start because it's kind of difficult and extremely expensive to eat paleo on an island where a red bell pepper is almost 5 dollars. Also, candy bars are not paleo. After our fabulous workout last night, we stopped by the gas station on our way home and I picked up a candy bar. Zach looked at me with some judging eyes and without missing a beat, says "The only one you're letting down is yourself."
I told him I'd walk home.
He was joking of course and normally, I like jokes like that. I find sarcasm and dry humor hilarious. I'm a pretty cool chick most days but throw in a little hormonal imbalance that I'm unaccustomed to, a pinch of easily butt hurt, sensitivity, an eight teaspoon of drama queen and a candy bar I felt bad about but was going to eat it anyways....your recipe for crazy. You're welcome. The conversation on the ride home went a little like this.
"I'm pmsing and nothing you say will make me NOT enjoy this candy bar. You're just jealous that this was the last one. Plus, it's not like we did good at eating paleo today. Mother Nature is punching me in the baby making cavern. I am going to eat this and enjoy it. Do you want a bite? Well good, you can't have one because I'm not in a sharing mood. I'm only going to eat half....and then the other half. I'm not letting myself down, I'm bringing myself up in a sea of milky way chocolate and caramel. Oh yeah, I'm swimming and it hurts so gooooood."
This went on for almost the whole ride home until he piped in and said "Just WHO exactly are you trying to convince? Me or you?"
Well, we obviously know the answer. It was him, I had already convinced myself while I was at the store. :)
At any rate, I made some almost paleo pork chops for dinner with a salad. It was almost paleo because I used soy sauce instead of coconut aminos (Tastes like soy, so they say. I've never had it). Then I made some sauteed zucchini that I had to rinse of because Henry and Hannah ganged up on me while waiting for sweet potatoes and tripped me in the kitchen, making me fall and throw zucchini all over the floor. This mama was unhappy, Zach said he could hear my cussin' up a storm over the shower and bathroom fan.
That is all.
Happy reading!

did you eat the candy bar?
ReplyDeleteWould you expect any less? Of course I did. Before we even made it to our street.
