A bad day of eating

I was craving sugar today and I felt all jittery (i knew it was PMS).  I got a package of Reese PB cups from the the vending machine after lunch today.  I ate one and gave the other to a co-worker.  It satisfied the craving.  After school, I headed to Whole Foods for a couple bars of 73% cocoa chocolate bars.  Its the only way I'll survive the week.

Breakfast: none

Lunch:  pot roast, raw spinach, 1 peanut butter cup

Dinner:  French onion soup, 5 slices of bacon, 5 slices of london broil, 1/2 bar of 73% chocolate, pecans

For some strange reason, I like bacon, right now.  When I started Paleo back in June, I couldn't stand bacon or sausage--still can't stand sausage.  But after buying and trying the "farm" bacon, I like it.  Its like the pork has a different taste.  Maybe its because the pigs are eating better food--just loving the bacon from the deli case.

I know i'm not eating enough. . . but i'm not hungry. This happens around cycle time. . . i just want chocolate and sleep.   Off to sleep I go!

Day 6 of Round 3

Breakfast:  bacon and orange

Lunch:  crockpot chicken and french onion soup, dark chocolate

Dinner:  chicken curry coflouti  (first time making it.  I liked the flavors, but it fell after being out of the oven.  It felt more like egg caserole.  I added mushrooms and carmelized onions to the dish.  Maybe thats why it fell. I read something about people using the batter for desert and I might do it with some fresh berries.  I did LOVE the taste of the butter. Its the first time, I've had any since going Paleo.

i'm still not eating enough, but today, I just didn't feel like it.

Day 5 of Round 3

Breakfast:  7 slices of bacon, 1/2 can coconut milk, banana

Lunch:  civiche (i went out to a mexican place with my friend, it was the only thing on the menu i felt comfortable eating.  But there must have been an acid/preservative in it b/c afterward, I had a little indigestion.  Didn't have any chips or anything)

Dinner:  Bok Choy with Chicken sausage, raw spinach, beef filet

I'll probably have a snack later tonight.  I know i haven't eaten enough.

Yesterday, I didn't eat alot b/c it was pretty crazy day.  However, I went to dinner with my friend and had a salad with scharwma on it.  It was really good.  During the movie I nibbled on some dark chocolate and almonds, I put in my purse

day 2 of Round 3

Breakfast: none

Lunch:  handful of dried strawberries & bananas, 100cal pack of dry almonds, tomato soup, salad greens topped w/bellpeppers

Dinner:  spaghetti squash, braised cabbage, raw spinach, beef filet

After dinner, I was fidgety  and my skin was crawling.  I desperately wanted something sweet or something more to eat.  I don't know how I survived the withdrawal the first time.  I don't know AT. ALL.  I feel like screaming!!!    I had 1 can of "light" coconut milk left.  I blend it with some ice and cinnamon.  I throw in an apple that is starting to go bad.  I hope this soothes my jitters.  I can TASTE the different between "light" and real coconut milk. It taste like water.  I guess I need to get online and order a new box.

Day 2 of Round 2

I fell off the wagon tonight.  I went to a benefit dinner and didn't eat before I weng.  So, I ended up eating/drinking what they served.

Breakfast:  Awakened late and didn't get it in before leaving

Lunch:  Chili & Spaghetti Squash, a slice of orange

Snack:  a cup of almonds, 1/4 cup freeze dried fruit (bananas & straweberries)

Dinner:  1/2 glass of white wine, steamed veggies, salad, baked fish with some kind of sauce on it, 1/2 piece of chicken breast  (really honestly, I could have gotten away with it if I hadn't enged in the white wine) Everything else on the PLATE was horribly unpaleo--potatoes au gratin, rolls . .. sauces) I didn't eat any of it.

At home dinner: bok choy & chicken sausage

Day 1 will start again tomorrow.
