Exercise didn't happen yesterday. I was lazy and grouchy. Of course, exercise would actually have fixed both of those, but why let common sense and reality influence my choices?

Today:
(not primal, but at this point I'll take what I can get)
english muffin, pnb, protein shake
cc/blueberries
chicken, beans, apple
hardboiled eggs (turquoise and pink!)
tilapia, steamed veggies
run at lunch
maybe boot camp tonight

Yesterday I had the frozen yogurt, but it fit in with my calories, so I'm calling it good. I will not panic about the cortisone and pain med related scale panic. I can anticipate gaining 5-8 lbs and having it stick around for at least 2 weeks. This has happened EVERY TIME I have gotten shots, and if it happens this time, I will not permit it to make me upset - I'll just remain steadfast and on plan, knowing it'll take some time for it to go back down.
,
Today's plan:
B - Bagel thin, PB, sliced strawberries
S - RF Salami, RF Cheddar, strawberries
L - Leftovers: Chicken skewer, roasted mashed acorn squash, roasted asparagus
S - Protein Shake w/ strawberries
S - Greek yogurt w/ strawberries (can you guess what I bought a flat of at the Farmer's Market this week?)
D - Grilled London Broil, broccoli and ricotta soup, side salad
S - NSA Ice Cream

E - 80-90 min cardio

Stand fast, Amanda. At least you know in advance what the cortisone does to you.

Scale creeping upward. Resisting urge to- panic (and/or to say "You know what, I'm going to gain ANYWAY, might as well earn it).

Plan for today:
B - Light sourdough, PB, sliced strawberries
S - RF Salami, RF cheese, strawberries
L - Leftovers: Grilled london broil, broccoli ricotta soup, roasted asparagus
S - Greek yogurt, strawberries
S - Protein Shake
D - Extra lean (4% fat) beef hamburger with half an ounce of smoked gouda and a few caramelized spring onions, plus mustard and ketchup, and a big side salad
S - NSA Ice Cream

E - Since I can't add in yoga or weights yet, I was thinking I'd push myself today with a long run. It might be too bouncy, though, in which case I'll do a longer incline workout.

Scale is still med-wonky, but I'm at peace with it. It'll settle down eventually.

Saturday:
B - Bagel Thin, 2 tbsp whipped light cream cheese, turkey slices
L - Leftovers: Pork Loin, Roasted Potato, Sauteed Cabbage
S - Kashi bar
D - FiberGourmet spaghetti, super-lean beef meatballs, tomato sauce, side salad w/ light caesar dressing
S - NSA Ice Cream
E - 70 min incline trainer, 30 min yoga, a WHOLE LOT of housecleaning

Sunday:
B - Whole wheat buttermilk pancakes with a sprinkle of blueberries, 1 serving mini chicken apple sausages
L - Giant salad - Lots of veggies (greens, carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, broccoli) plus lots of protein (1/2 cup grilled chicken, 1/4 cup steamed tofu, 1/4 cup garbanzo beans), and some croutons. 30 calories worth of honey mustard dressing.
D - Chili made with super lean ground beef, kidney beans, organic canned tomatoes, and lots of veggies (squash, peppers, garlic). 1.5 ounces of warmed french bread on the side.
S - NSA Ice Cream, sliced strawberries, whipped cream
E - Just 20 min yoga to keep myself limber. It was technically a rest day anyway.

Plan for today:
B - Bagel Thin with egg whites and turkey breast
S - RF Salami, RF colby jack stick, strawberries (I swear, this is such a satisfying snack to me. I love the protein kick it gives me).
L - Leftover spaghetti and meatballs from Saturday, side salad
S - Protein shake
S - Greek yogurt w/ sliced strawberries
D - Frittata made with 1 egg plus 2 egg whites per serving, with bacon, spring onion, asparagus, maybe a bit of broccoli. Side salad.

Amanda inspired me---turkey chili with zucchini and black beans. Avocado.
Perhaps some sort of sprint intervals at DS's soccer practice.

Chronic pain is for the birds. I'm sorry you have to deal with all of that, Amanda.

Sat, Sun, and Mon were POP food wise. I lifted weights yesterday. Tonight will be running sprints----or ELSE!!!

This primal thing is going pretty good. I've been hitting about 60-70 g carbs and my goal is 50-100 so I have some wiggle room and I'm going to add in sweet potatoes and beans (which I haven't yet,,,,no beans made it in the turkey last night).

Today:
strawberries, protein shake, walnuts
greek yogurt
turkey, spinach, cheese
hardboiled eggs
veggies of some kind, protein of some kind, sweet potato
HIIT running

Oh, and I'm down 2 lbs!
