I recently read any article about dirty eating on a wonderful healthy living blog called Whole 9 Life.
It speaks to cheats in a no none-sense manner, which I appreciate! However, there was one part in particular resonated with me the most:
"Eat something because you want it, and because it’s special… not just because it’s there. Say someone brings donuts in to the office. You look at the plate and think, donuts are here. You could eat a donut. But you can have donuts any time you want. "
My work is one of the few environments where I'm constantly surrounded by junk food, so it really helps to get my "head right" any time I'm feeling that will power wane.
I am a part of the activities committee at my work and we held an ice cream social yesterday. I attended the ice cream station for about 30 minutes and I'm proud to say that I did NOT eat any ice cream or popsicles. I had various people ask me, "don't you like ice cream??" to which I replied with something rather off topic. I don't like to rattle on about my diet choices when the person I'm speaking to is doing exactly opposite of what I believe.
While it might seem rather silly to take victory in refusing ice cream once, true success is the culmination of 1000 little victories. Thank you, Nate for that little tidbit and thanks to Whole 9, for keeping my head in the game!!
Breakfast
Scrambled Eggs
1 small sausage
It is not ideal to be eating sausage often due to many unknown ingredients. We will be prepared with healthier meat options next week.
Snack
Banana, dab of peanut butter
I need to bring some almond butter to work for the occasional snack! Peanuts are considered legumes rather than seeds or nuts. Legumes have an inferior protein to meat and therefore are generally not included in the Paleo diet. There are other reasons which I will discuss later.
Lunch
Slaw (from yesterday)
Hard Boiled Egg
Grapes
Dinner
TBD
