    Breakfast today was roast beef and thin slice of provolone wrapped in lettuce leaves. Plus coffee. Of course.

    Lunch was a small leftover bowl of potato soup and some buffalo bologna.

    The plan for dinner is meatballs and a salad.

    I eat Paleo, btw, which is the reason for all the meal. lol I have been trying to make a goal for myself: a veggie at every meal, even if it's just some cucumber slices or red pepper strips or a sprinkle of spinach in with my eggs. Otherwise, I will just eat meat all the time. lol I guess I didn't have a veggie with the potato soup, but I'm still a work in progress.

    We follow a gluten-free, casein-free, soy-free diet at our house (no wheat, milk, or soy), my 3yo son has Autism and we have seen HUGE, AWESOME gains since the change. I have found a lot of Paleo recipes super helpful! The kid loves his veggies thankfully.

  • Let's see...

    Breakfast: Coffee

    Lunch: Tuna with Paleo mayo mixed with chopped cucumber, tomato, and onion

    Snack: 2 thin slices swiss cheese, cucumber slices with cream cheese, frozen dinner (I felt famished! But the frozen dinner was only 200 calories).

    I've also munched on a couple of "primal crackers" (basically made with cheese, tapioca flour, potato starch, and coconut flour). But only a few nibbles, and it's because I'm trying to perfect a recipe.

    The plan for dinner tonight is scrambled eggs with chopped peppers, bacon, and hash browns.

    I went back to my semi-Paleo, mostly-Primal way of eating on Monday. Since then I've lost about 5 pounds. It's all water, but it's a nice motivator.
