(Above is a picture of what I ate for lunch.  Tuna salad /w cucumber and smoked salmon.  I just put the salmon on ‘cause it is awesome for you and tastes yummy.  Otherwise the dish as a whole lacked in the taste department).

I’ve been trying to figure out why the hell this whole diet thing (primal/paleo diet consisting of meat, veggies, some fruit, nuts and seeds) is consuming so much of my time.  I believe it’s just due to the fact that it runs contrary to my former (more like in transit) way of life.  Seeing as some sort of grain consists of a large part of god knows how many meals when eating out that it’s forced me to figure out how i can make meals for myself and still live a comfortable life.  I figure wanting to change one of the most basic necessities/habits of our lives is going to be a pain in the ass.  From what i’ve gathered via the lovely internet is that some people like to post pictures of their meals online for various reasons.  Some do it because making food is an interest and a craft they are working on, for others it’s to keep track of what they are eating.  Mentally it allows you to have a clear picture of what you’ve been eating and the ability to remember it.  I’m also hoping it will help me stay on track with this shindig.  So for 30 days I’ll make an attempt to post at least one picture of a meal and write type the other meals.  I apologize if the food log keeps popping up in your news feed on facebook. My posts won’t be limited to this log.

Yesterday:

Breakfast-coconut flour pancakes w/pumpkin, turkey bacon, a grapfruit, coffee

snack- larabar (which i recommend if you are lookin’ for a tasty snack bar.  all natural, they use dates to keep it all together.  high sugar but nothing is processed and dates are filled with nutrients plus fiber to reduce the carb factor.  It would go well with a protein shake to refill your muscles glycogen stores after a workout.

lunch- tuna salad

Dinner- chicken ‘n mushrooms, mixed veggies

dessert- whipped frozen banana

Today:

Breakfast- Same as above

Lunch- Tuna salad /w cucumber and smoked salmon (pictured above)

snack-larabar

Dinner- London Broil and Asparagus, red wine

dessert-whipped frozen banana

The added pressure of public opinion I hope will help keep the train on the tracks.  Oh and actually I’m not sorry if weird food pictures pop up on your feed because it’s the least of everyone’s worries. or probably should be.  Don’t forget if you have a question all you have to do is ASK. It’s anonymous if that entices anyone just a wee bit more.  I’d really love feedback or any type of participation in what’s goin’ on ‘round here.
